Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect.

In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.
A brief introduction to DataScience with explaining of the concepts, algorithms, machine learning, supervised and unsupervised learning, clustering, statistics, data preprocessing, real-world applications etc.

“Room pressurization is increasingly becoming more critical

In hospitals, we design in Venturi Valve products because we know
they have the highest VAV turndown ratio for energy conservation and
reliable pressurization is never an issue with lower airflows.”

Notes de l'éditeur
http://www.benefis.org/pages/default.asp?NavID=664 Benefis Health System is the largest hospital in the state and the largest non-governmental employer in the Great Falls area. We provide exceptional health care to approximately 225,000 people in service area covering 44,814 square miles -- 15 counties in Northcentral Montana. Our service area is bigger than Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont combined! No wonder Benefis needs to operate both helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft. Benefis Health System has 516 beds at its two campuses (that includes 146 beds in long-term care and 12 beds at Peace Hospice of Montana) and partners with over 250 area physicians. Our hospital is recognized for its exceptional work in quality care, and we are honored to have had the distinction of being among the nation's best hospitals for the past three years running (Distinguished Hospital Award (HealthGrades), which recognizes the top 5% of hospitals in the country). Construction is under way for Benefis Health System's Heart Institute/ Women's and Children's Patient Tower, a state-of-the-art seven story building that will make good on a promise to the Great Falls community and Northcentral region, and provide more high-quality service to heart and women and children's patients. “ Benefis promised our community and regional customers that we would go to all private rooms,” says Dawn Willey, Benefis Facilities Maintenance Manager. To fulfill that promise, it was necessary to build a new addition to the Benefis campus. The new tower is designed to house a 33-bed cardiac patient unit, private rooms for Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit patients, 19 Labor and Delivery Recovery and Postpartum rooms, five antepartum rooms, and two caesarean section operating rooms. The pharmacy and Benefis Health System Foundation also are moving to the tower. “ The Benefis Heart Institute will provide the community with an exceptional facility featuring not only all private rooms, but also the most advanced technology for Heart Care available. The patient is the winner with private rooms. “This design creates greater patient privacy and comfort and family involvement”. Physicians, staff, and the Benefis facilities office all participated in the tower design process, ensuring that the facility truly meets the needs of everyone concerned. “It is important to have staff involvement from the beginning, that way they own the unit,” says Caroline McConville, RN, Women and Children's Services manager. The Women's and Children's portion of the tower is going to be patient-friendly as well, making sure that families are as comfortable as the patient, allowing babies to stay in the same room as mom. “ This is quite a progressive model nationally and one that our patients have requested. Being able to have mom and baby in one room together is emotionally and mentally important, and Benefis is dedicated to providing that kind of environment for its patients,” McConville says. “ Giving birth is an emotionally and physically draining experience; our new unit will provide one happy, secure room, thereby reducing the need to move to different rooms as their care dictates, like most hospitals,” she says. Parents whose babies are in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) will have the same option as other delivering moms. They, too, will have the new option of staying in the room with their babies, saving worry and the extra expense of traveling and staying in motels. Many families with babies in NICU live in other parts of Montana. Vicki Birkeland, RN and manager of NICU, says Benefis is one of a small number of NICUs in the nation, and the first in Montana, to follow the new model. “ Out-of-pocket travel and hotel expenses are the least thing new parents should have to worry about when they have a baby in our NICU; our job is to take the very best care of both the parents and their baby. The private patient rooms will offer a serene, peaceful and comfortable environment, something vitally important for those with a NICU baby. The use of private rooms in the NICU has been shown to improve patient outcomes – our ultimate goal here at Benefis Health System,” she says. Plans currently project that Benefis Health System's Heart Institute/ Women's and Children's Tower will be ready for occupancy in the last quarter of 2008. “ The solution is cost competitive with VAV boxes and digital controls. When you take into account the accuracy of the valve coupled With the feedback and alarming capabilities, it makes good sense. ”
Black River Memorial Hospital has completed its $22 Million expansion and remodeling project. The project began in the fall of 2005 and a Grand Opening Celebration of the “new” hospital was held April 13, 2008. The following are the project highlights: Approximately 69,000 square feet of new space has been added to the hospital with a two-story east addition, a two-story plus basement west addition, and a one-story addition on the front or south side. In addition to the new space, approximately 44,000 square feet of the existing hospital has been remodeled. This has been the largest project in the 40-year history of Black River Memorial Hospital and it has affected every hospital department. It includes the development of many new Patient Service areas: Surgical Services Department, Emergency Department, 21 private Patient Rooms, 12-station Renal Dialysis Unit, Rehabilitation Center, and a Specialty Outreach Area. The Obstetrics Department has been relocated with a new nurses’ station, nursery and labor/delivery/recovery/postpartum rooms and there has been extensive remodeling and expansion in the Diagnostic Imaging, Inpatient Pharmacy, Hospice, Homecare, Food Service, Clinical Laboratory, and Respiratory Care Departments. A two story 34,000 square foot addition with basement was added on the west side for Clinic, Emergency Department and new ambulance bay on the first floor. The second floor contains three new OR's and related support, pre and post operation spaces. New spaces in the basement included Purchasing and mechanical rooms. A two story, 25,000 square foot, without basement addition was constructed on the east side for Rehabilitation Services, Renal Dialysis, Lab and future MRI. The second floor has 25 private medical surgery rooms which allowed the Hospital's existing medical surgery rooms to remain open during construction. The third addition was a single story, 6,800 square foot, without basement, addition for lobby, education and dining space.
Catholic Health Initiatives, Denver, CO & Franciscan Health System, WA http://www.fhshealth.org/services.aspx?id=3344&menu_id=838&submenu_id=30 The newly constructed Enumclaw Regional Hospital will open in early 2011, providing the community with a state-of-the-art hospital that will ensure access to advanced medicine and trusted care for generations. With 90,000 square feet of space, it will be nearly twice as large as the existing hospital at 1450 Battersby Ave. The replacement hospital will offer all the services that the hospital now provides and include the newest medical and diagnostic imaging equipment. The new hospital will also feature: All private patient rooms designed for the comfort of patients and their visitors Eastside rooms with views of the foothills; westside rooms with views of the healing garden Newest medical technology Rooftop helipad for emergency transports Chapel for prayer and meditation Nearly triple the number of parking spaces Plenty of space for additional and expanded services to meet the future needs of the community. A leader in ‘green’ health The new hospital will incorporate a number of environment-friendly “green” features: sustainable building materials, non-toxic paint, energy-efficient mechanical and lighting systems, 100 percent outside air, low-flush toilets, and landscaping bioswales to capture and filter rainwater. As a result, the new Enumclaw Regional Hospital will be the first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)-certified hospital in Washington State. In addition to providing primary and acute medical care, the new hospital could serve as a community gathering place in times of windstorms, power outages and other emergencies. The new hospital will be located directly across Battersby Avenue from the existing facility. Once the new structure is completed, the old hospital will be torn down and a parking lot built on the site. The estimated cost of the project is $65 million, which will be paid by Franciscan Health System and Denver-based Catholic Health Initiatives. Mahlum Architects designed the new hospital. Sellen Co. is the general contractor for the construction project. Enumclaw Regional Hospital, which has served the community since 1949, joined the Franciscan organization in May 2007.

John Muir Medical Center Walnut Creek Campus, Tom and Billie Long Patient Care Tower will house 242 beds, including 230 new private rooms, a 24-bed ICU and a 35-bed intensive care neonatal nursery. It will also house 3 new operating rooms accommodating innovations well into the future, and a dramatic enhancement of emergency services, including four trauma beds and forty one non-trauma emergency treatment stations, doubling current capacity. Facts at a Glance Groundbreaking Ceremony: January 16, 2008 5-story plus basement, 380,000-square-foot patient care tower Addition of 230 private and 6 semi-private rooms (new beds: 242) Total number of beds, including existing beds planned to remain, is 416. Project Highlights Surgical Services will include 13 inpatient surgical suites located adjacent to the ICU and designed for current and future technology advances, such as intra-operative MRI and robotic surgery ( Notable facts: distinguished in the region for surgical innovation and reputation for excellence in trauma, critical care, cardiac, neurological and orthopedic surgery) Emergency Services will double capacity from 22 beds to 45 beds, with trauma beds increasing from 2 to 4 and non-trauma emergency treatment stations increasing from 22 to 41. In addition, the helipad will be relocated to the tower rooftop and a high-speed elevator from the roof to the Emergency Department ( Notable facts: designated Trauma Center for Contra Costa County and portions of Solano County, currently log in 48,000 emergency visits annually, and provide specialized emergency care for individuals experiencing chest pain or a stroke) Critical Care Services includes the addition of 24 private, spacious critical care rooms with advanced equipment at the bedside and the availability of around-the-clock, real-time audio and video monitoring of ICU patients Intensive Care Neonatal Nursery includes an increase from 19 to 35 state-of-the-art infant beds, lighting to mimic day/night cycles, and private and semi-private, noise-reducing rooms for parents to bond with their critically ill newborns Patient Rooms includes the addition of 230 private and 6 semi-private, patient-centered rooms to accommodate optimal patient safety, care and comfort (and representing a 27 percent increase in overall patients beds from 324 to 416) Double Deal, September 1, 2011, http://www.healthcarebuildingideas.com/print/article/double-deal M/E highlights When it came to specifying the different mechanical and electrical systems for the new tower, the hospital took a long-term view and chose systems based upon energy efficiency, water efficiency, and durability. “ We also focused on lifecycle cost, so on the HVAC side, we went with a variable-air-volume system for the entire hospital,” relates Jon Inman, PE, LEED AP, principal, healthcare sector lead, Mazzetti Nash Lipsey Burch, San Francisco, whose firm did the M/E work on the project. “This system can ramp up and down airflow quantities within the spaces that need additional cooling or ventilation.” The engineers also went with a higher quality air handling system, which requires less energy to operate than conventional systems. “ We beat our overall energy consumption considerably from our initial energy model” Inman says. In fact, the hospital was able to cash in on another Pacific Gas and Electric Co. incentive to the tune of $500,000 for its new on-site cogeneration plant. This cogeneration system generates 750kW of electricity and recovers a high percentage of the waste heat, with about 3 million BTUs used in the building’s heating systems. While designing the new central utility plant, Inman’s team also recommended a very robust building automation with a high degree of measurement and verification of each energy stream. “We can actually shut down some of the systems, at times, and switch over to alternate systems to reduce the cost of purchasing energy,” Inman explains. Another highlight of the central plant is a very sophisticated emergency power system. The system itself is robust enough to run the entire hospital for up to three days while the intelligent controls can turn non-essential areas off and on, as determined by the hospital’s load at a particular time.

Engineer liked stand alone or BMS control options with 9 emergency control options. 2 floors with pandemic design and they wanted to decrease their risk. Northwest Community Hospital of Arlington Heights, Illinois is building a new patient care addition that will offer the community state-of-the-art care in a modern structure designed for family-centered healing. The new building is designed to harvest natural light and provide views of nature to aid in the healing process. The project consists of 332,573 square feet of new and remodeled space, including a new entry and lobby, a 24-bed critical care unit, labor and delivery rooms, post-surgical care rooms, and a new parking garage. Slated for completion in 2010, the nine-story tower will increase the hospital’s staffed bed count from 410 to 488, and include patient rooms designed to accommodate a surge of potentially infectious patients. The new building was designed by Engineers and Architects O’Donnell, Wicklund, Pogozzi, and Peterson (OWP/P) of Chicago, Illinois. The mechanical systems on floors five and nine are designed in a manner that permits the hospital to respond to a pandemic incident, should that ever occur in the community. Should pandemic influenza strike, the patient rooms on these floors can be used to isolate patients with the flu contagion, serving both the well-being of the patient and safety of staff and the general public. These pandemic-ready patient rooms become isolation rooms on-demand using a Building Management System (BMS) command sequence that can be initiated by the building engineer. The BMS command causes the HVAC control system to change the balance of supply and exhaust air volumes to ensure the direction of airflow is from clean to unclean areas in each patient room. Two CFM quantities and control sequences are specified; normal and emergency. Normal CFM quantities provide equal air volumes between supply and exhaust as well as central air recirculation to conserve energy. This enables neutral patient room-to-corridor pressurization during normal day-to-day operations. When necessary, emergency CFM quantities provide more air volume to exhaust than supply, and full exhaust venting to the outdoors. This essentially converts a normal patient room to a negative pressure bed, or Airborne Infectious Isolation (AII) room when needed. Using the right combination of Variable Air Volume devices and controls, OWP/P was able to design a patient space that provided an efficient and comfortable environment under normal operations, but also one that could respond immediately to the need for an isolation room in the event of a public emergency.

Offering a very visible and highly functional improvement to the overall hospital, the Building for the Third Century of MGH Medicine will feature a fully reorganized emergency services area. A $35 million gift – the largest single contribution in the hospital’s history – from renowned business leader, philanthropist and MGH friend Sumner Redstone will make possible the enhanced Sumner M. Redstone Emergency Department. This world-class department will be bolstered by a protected emergency entrance, providing a weather-shielded environment for patients arriving at the MGH by ambulance. It also will feature amply expanded space to benefit Emergency Department patients, families, clinicians and staff. The Emergency Department handled approximately 78,000 visits last year, and historically more than half of the inpatient admissions to MGH come via the Emergency Department. The Radiation Oncology center will be redeveloped and expanded to accommodate the growing need for its services. The center - to be named the James M. and Ruth P. Clark Center for Radiation Oncology, thanks to a generous gift from two committed supporters - will be located next to the Francis H. Burr Proton Therapy Center to ensure patient ease of access and efficiencies in coordinating care to cancer patients undergoing radiation and proton beam therapies. Three floors will be dedicated to inpatient and outpatient procedures. These floors will integrate operating rooms with pre- and post-operative services, such as radiology and imaging, to ensure efficient, timely and effective coordination of treatment. The top five floors in the Building for the Third Century of MGH Medicine will house up to 150 acute and intensive care beds, with floors dedicated to cancer, neurology and neurosurgery patients. Because of the serious nature of these patients’ illnesses, all will be single patient rooms. The new building will include: Ten floors above ground and four below grade. Floors 2, 3 and 4 will be operating-room floors. The 6th floor will house a new Neurosciences ICU. Floors 7, 8, 9 and 10 will be inpatient floors. Floors 2 and 3 will connect directly to the existing hospital in several ways. There will be a walkway across the front of the hospital entrance connecting Wang 3, where patients will continue to check in before surgery, with the third floor of the B3C. Floors 2 and 3 will connect directly to the Ellison building. Four operating rooms will be on the second floor, as well as 13 perioperative bays, locker rooms, the OR pharmacy, central sterile supply, and a blood bank. The second-floor ORs will be used primarily for small, rapid turnover procedures, and patients will recover in the perioperative bays on that floor. A third floor with 13 orthopedic operating rooms arranged to surround a central core to allow centralization of instruments and other equipment, a particularly significant issue for orthopedics. There will be nine perioperative bays, which can be used for pre-op preparation and for recovery. A fourth floor that will house 12 Neuro and Vascular ORs, 12 perioperative bays, and four hybrid interventional/open rooms with the highest concentration of technology in the B3C. These services were chosen for the B3C because the legacy operating room space does not have the infrastructure needed for significant technological advances in those two areas of surgery. Intraoperative CT and MRI suite will be used initially for neurosurgical procedures, but will be available to other services in the future. All ORs will be at least 600 square feet. Each OR floor will have its own control desk and its own anesthesia workroom. Each floor will have omnicell machines, but narcotics will be dispensed at the main pharmacy on the second floor. There will be elevator and stair connections between floors, a dumbwaiter system, and limited pneumatic tube connection with the main hospital. Storage space will be provided for all equipment and for patient stretchers so that the hallways remain clear. Several computer workstations. The perioperative bays on each floor and in the new space in Ellison and Wang will allow for pre-op care, workups, line placement, epidurals and blocks to be done in private, more spacious areas close to the operating rooms. With many perioperative bays in the B3C, 35 new PACU beds in the Ellison 3 PACU, and 28 PACU beds in the existing White PACU, the PACU waitlist should become a thing of the past. The largest central sterile supply area in the USA. The arrangement of the floors will resdesign equipment and supply management at Mass General. For example, orthopedic instruments will be on a cart system, without the need for resterilization between cases.

The perioperative bays on each floor and in the new space in Ellison and Wang will allow for pre-op care, workups, line placement, epidurals and blocks to be done in private, more spacious areas close to the operating rooms. With many perioperative bays in the B3C, 35 new PACU beds in the Ellison 3 PACU, and 28 PACU beds in the existing White PACU, the PACU waitlist should become a thing of the past. The largest central sterile supply area in the USA. The arrangement of the floors will resdesign equipment and supply management at Mass General. For example, orthopedic instruments will be on a cart system, without the need for resterilization between cases.
Providence Regional Medical Center, Everett, Wash. Despite all of the potential opportunities to utilize the BAS for monitoring, trending and optimizing operation, this can be accomplished only if the facility engineer thoroughly understands the system. Quite often, as new facilities or facility additions are completed, the engineers are not able to interface with the systems until after substantial completion and the owner takes possession. The owner of the Providence Regional Medical Center committed two facility engineers to work full time as part of the commissioning team with the commissioning agent, control contractor and mechanical contractors. The engineers were involved from startup, through the functional test period and the final commissioning of the systems. This unique experience actually was recommended by the commissioning agent, and allowed the facility engineers to be involved in the decision-making process and to gain intimate experience with the system components, operation and design intent. As part of the process, the facility engineers were immersed in the BAS sequence of operation and they worked hand in hand with the control contractor in creating the BAS dashboard graphics and user interface. Normally, system knowledge that is gained through startup and commissioning leaves with the construction team and commissioning agent. But, with this approach, the history of the decisions and system knowledge stayed local with the hospital. Facility professionals have made a commitment to the facility users and staff that the building will be operated efficiently and, to validate this, the BAS will be utilized to provide the energy-savings data for hospital newsletters and other communications. The automation system is used primarily to control systems and monitor status. At the heart of the systems are hundreds of data points reporting whether systems are operating within design parameters. When an operation fails or exceeds a set limit, an alarm message is sent to the system computer. Critical alarms also are sent to pagers carried by facility staff. The BAS also can turn certain systems to standby mode when not in use. For instance, operating rooms are energy intensive and can require 25 air changes per hour. When these rooms are not in use, their supporting systems can be automatically scaled back. By computer schedule or manual override, the rooms can be back in full "on" mode within 20 minutes. Another way the BAS helps to save energy is the constant monitoring of zones and the potential for temperature reset. If all the terminal units within a zone are satisfying demand, the system automatically will reset the supply air temperature to a higher level. Cooling with higher temperature air is a good way to lower a building's EUI. In addition to the DDC points being monitored, there are five meters that give the following data: electrical energy consumption (showing instant consumption that provides continuous trending), electrical energy consumption (showing daily, monthly and annual trending), a gas meter for the kitchen (the central utility plant is metered separately), a water meter and an outside air temperature meter. Because meters can cost thousands of dollars, the addition of more metering is always a trade-off between first cost and the ability to isolate and fine-tune separate systems or buildings.

URS in Grand Rapids, MI is the engineer for the Devos Children ’ s Hospital project. The Devos project has Phoenix valves on the OR exhaust/return. These are paired up with dual duct VAV boxes (Titus). We also have CVV ’ s on all of the isolation room exhaust. The project is under construction while the upper floors are still being designed, so there may be more.(8/08) Main reason for using Phoenix Controls was the turndown and no flow stations that would collect lint. Currently there are around 30 valves (EXV ’ s and CVV ’ s). Features of the new 14-story, 440,000-square-foot facility slated to open in 2011 include: Dedicated pediatric operating rooms and surgical support space Dedicated pediatric emergency department Dedicated pediatric radiology and diagnostic imaging center Dedicated pediatric cardiac catheterization labs Spacious rooms for patients and their families Helen DeVos Children's Hospital is West Michigan's largest children's hospital, serving children and families throughout a 37-county region. A teaching hospital, it includes more than 150 pediatric specialty physicians uniquely skilled in providing medical and surgical care to children in 40 pediatric specialties. The hospital cares for more than 7,500 inpatients and 150,000 outpatients annually.
