Project
DOME: Design Out Medical Error
The DOME project (2008-12) was funded by EPSRC. Its impact extended from the healthcare and design professions and industries to patients and their families who stand to benefit from improved healthcare processes leading to a reduced number of errors and an increase in the quality and safety of care. The DOME project served as a forerunner to the establishment of a design-led innovation centre, the HELIX Centre, set up in November 2013 by original DOME partners RCA and Imperial with a £2.8 million grant for the HEFCE Catalyst Fund.
