PROPUESTA DE DISEÑO DE UN CENTRO DE SALUD UNIVERSITARIO ESPECIALIZADO EN MATERNIDAD E INFANCIA CONENFOQUE EN LA NEUROARQUITECTURA

Abstract

Nowadays, hospitals and health centers in Ecuador present various deficiencies that significantly impact the quality of medical care provided to the population. Obsolete buildings, saturation of facilities and the lack of specialized personnel are some of the problems that prevent achieving a more effective and accessible health system. Additionally, in the case of vulnerable people such as pregnant women and children, medical spaces should acquire a new connotation that allows them to meet their needs on a physical, cognitive and sensory level. In this way, the use of Neuroarchitecture as a strategy and central axis of design is exposed, addressing its principles, elements and essential characteristics for its subsequent application in the project to be developed. Thus, the aim is to design a university health center specialized in the obstetrics, neonatology and pediatrics areas for Zone 8 in order to provide quality facilities that have a positive impact on both the medical care and the recovery of its patients, generating healthy, healing and functional environments while optimizing the user experience.
