We conduct community-based participatory research (CBPR) and design-driven interventions aimed at improving health outcomes, autonomy, and well-being. We offer support, process, & innovation to our partners in the fields of health, non-profit, built environment, and service design. Please reach out if you have a project that needs a participatory human-centered approach. Currently we are focused on longevity, aging, and home as the site of healthcare. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5924bdf837c5813b779b48ed/1742569688465-07CT7X5ON4DRI7YUU5KF/MCSAP+High+Fidelity+Wireframes_Page_4.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5924bdf837c5813b779b48ed/1742569722508-51SBCWA95EQBETXCUKWS/Project+Ms+Dianne.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5924bdf837c5813b779b48ed/1742569744073-8U62F9WGPJ4FREL7VRL2/LABSYNOPSIS2025_Page_6.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5924bdf837c5813b779b48ed/1742569743567-23WHNLJ777CWT4FC1XHB/BANGOR2024.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5924bdf837c5813b779b48ed/1742569800166-NSSIDFLD3CTAI8ZRDCBS/MAKETOOLS+dsn+Event+Publication_Page_1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5924bdf837c5813b779b48ed/1742569847275-VO2LQDD1EFUATWZU7ACY/DSRESYMPOSIUMCONFERENCE_Page_1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5924bdf837c5813b779b48ed/1742569746218-JPI9H1BDX3C12WY60EM7/2024ANALYTICALSSC-1.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5924bdf837c5813b779b48ed/1742569958917-VZ5ON6QUZ84X6JIS6ED0/Screenshot+2025-03-21+at+11.11.45%E2%80%AFAM.png Home https://designcare4health.com/our-team-impact daily 0.75 2025-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5924bdf837c5813b779b48ed/1744215806929-4NSZU3I1RL1DSR796QQE/image-asset.jpeg Our Team - Recent collaborators Last winter, we were lucky enough to collaborate with Professor Jihyun Song and the Town of Van Buren, Maine! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5924bdf837c5813b779b48ed/1744215806929-4NSZU3I1RL1DSR796QQE/image-asset.jpeg Our Team - Recent collaborators Last winter, we were lucky enough to collaborate with Professor Jihyun Song and the Town of Van Buren, Maine! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5924bdf837c5813b779b48ed/1679598466426-2Y7F5B0W6K74ZYSVHNZ3/Untitled-7.jpg Our Team - Our Drexel Team We believe in creating cultures of care and we cross disciplinary boundaries to do so.

As Design lead and Co-PI on the CIRGE (IGE: Creative Interdisciplinary Research in Graduate Education) program team, we work with a diverse set of researchers and practitioners, to develop coursework and research in the area of interprofessional teaching and mentorship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5924bdf837c5813b779b48ed/1515356668642-04BLBAYDAXN7TUCOVM8P/scattergood_book2016_Page_07.jpg Drexel Design Research for Health Projects - Health design Research Innovations Projects interdisciplinary coursework that explores health and design through the lens of human-centered design research.

This work builds on technological simulation and thinking deployed in health care to bring quality retrofits to single family homes for agiing adults. By systematically studying the benefits of in-home assessment to support aging in place dialogue and planning through a comparative methods approach that includes qualitative, observational, and generative engagements with householders in three housing typologies, DRDR4Health has developed a tool that can serve as a guide for communities and organizations seeking to help older adults live in their communities for as long as possible. The MCSAP scorecard is an interior-focused, trauma-informed, analytical scorecard that provides actionable next steps for residents to repair and maintain their urban interior spaces. The DRDR4Health Lab created the MCSAP scorecard in collaboration with Second Story Collective, Drexel’s Writers Room, and with participation from community members in Mantua/Powelton in Northwest Philadelphia. We facilitated conversations to determine what is needed for older adults to live safely in their homes in these neighborhoods, and maintain their quality of life. It is different from existing assessments because it goes beyond asking what needs to be “fixed” by engaging in a direct dialogue with the householder to determine their personal ideas for and perceptions of the space. Through participatory projects in the community and the study of age-friendly principles, age-friendly care and current standards in aging, the design research team developed the Mantua Creative Standard for Aging-in-place (MCSAP), an interiors-focused trauma-informed analytical scorecard with actionable next steps for residents to repair and maintain their urban interior spaces and develop creative space.

By systematically studying the benefits of in-home assessment to support aging in place dialogue and planning through a comparative methods approach that includes qualitative, observational, and generative engagements with householders in three housing typologies, DRDR4Health has developed a tool that can serve as a guide for communities and organizations seeking to help older adults live in their communities for as long as possible. The MCSAP scorecard is an interior-focused, trauma-informed, analytical scorecard that provides actionable next steps for residents to repair and maintain their urban interior spaces. The DRDR4Health Lab created the MCSAP scorecard with participation from community members to determine what is needed for older adults to live safely in their homes and maintain their quality of life. It is different from existing assessments because it goes beyond asking what needs to be “fixed” by engaging in a direct dialogue with the householder to determine their personal ideas for and perceptions of the space. Through participatory projects in the community and the study of age-friendly principles, age-friendly care and current standards in aging, the design research team developed the Mantua Creative Standard for Aging-in-place (MCSAP), an interiors-focused trauma-informed analytical scorecard with actionable next steps for residents to repair and maintain their urban interior spaces and develop creative space.
