NXT began its journey with a contract from the Department of Defense in 2006 to design the Patient Room of the Future. From that initial assignment, NXT has led collaborative research efforts that address new workflow concepts, architectural and interior design systems, and advanced technology platforms that can enhance patient/physician communications.
NXT brings together a myriad of professionals from health care, academia and private industry to explore and refine these new concepts. The result is multi-disciplinary research teams with expertise in specific areas that impact the delivery of healthcare services:
- Architecture
- Nursing
- Industrial Design
- Information Technology

The work of NXT teams has been heralded by many organizations and individuals in the healthcare industry, from multiple design awards to articles in numerous professional and academic publications. Together, we are elevating the possibilities of what innovation can do to meet a human need.
