Dear Friends of CIHF,
The Institute had an exciting and productive Spring semester! We hosted our Spring Board meeting and Roundtable in April which focused on workplace staffing and engagement. During the event we also chose the winners of the Safety by Design Charrette, a collaborative competition involving students from Cornell and Johns Hopkins University. It was great to come together during our meetings to share ideas for the future.
The CIHF team is steadily planning the next event, our Webinar, scheduled to take place this October. More details will follow, but we are looking forward to getting together once again to share ideas and policies for better health.
We look forward to seeing more of our CIHF community in the fall and wish everyone a happy spring!
Thank you again for your continued support.

Congratulations Peyton Fort!
2022 Healthy Futures Minor
| | |
|
Peyton is graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Global and Public Health Sciences, and minors in Healthy Futures and Inequality Studies. This summer, she will be interning with University of Colorado Health as a Design & Strategy Administrative Intern. In the fall, she'll return to Ithaca to complete her second year as a 5-year BS/MHA student in Cornell's Sloan Program in Healthcare Administration. | |
“My love of design has grown in parallel to my passion for healthcare and discovering Cornell’s Institute of Healthy Futures (CIHF) illuminated a way to unify my passions. CIHF has since become a common thread between many of my most influential and enjoyable academic and professional experiences at Cornell! Pursuing the Healthy Futures minor solidified my desire to work at the intersection of healthcare equity, service-minded hospitality, and human-centered design, and serving as the CUHF Undergraduate Chapter co-president has given me an incredible opportunity to share this passion with a community of like-minded peers. I am forever grateful for the guidance, friendship, and holistic perspective CIHF has shared with me, and I look forward to welcoming others to the healthy futures community for years to come!" | |

Dr. Rana Zadeh's Health Design Innovations Lab
CIHF supported Dr. Zadeh's Health Design Innovations Lab (HDIL) research program this year. Rana is bringing best evidence to design practice using a systems approach that combines design, engineering, psychology, business and medicine, while partnering with communities. The products she is developing include environmental, technological, or educational guidelines and solutions to support safety, quality of life, and dignity. Some examples of work are:
- Empowering community dwelling older adults with dementia and their caregivers when it comes to their medication management.
- Healthy aging
- Palliative and supportive care by environmental design
- Sleep and circadian rhythms disturbances, effective evidence-based educational programs during times of social/physical distancing and COVID 19 pandemic.
- Occupant sensing technologies for homes and institutional environments to support health, safety and sustainability
- Medication compliance in individuals with dementia by design and engineering
- Health and healthcare access for at risk populations and marginalized populations
- Workplace health and performance optimization
- Economic evaluation of design and engineering solutions to optimize medical workplaces
