"Patience is not passive; on the contrary, it is concentrated strength" - Bruce Lee

From the uncertain time frame to an uncertain illness, the majority of waiting rooms are structured in a way that requires patients to manage exceptional stress in a daunting space. 

The Patient Project intends to bridge the gap in connectivity by redesigning a significant element of health care: the wait.

Psychological studies demonstrate the benefits of human interaction, particularly for those who are in distress; thus, it is no surprise that “hospital waiting rooms should be experienced as relational spaces,” where patients are able to receive support (Corsano 2015).
