P1CT ‘Ohana Suite –

Full-scale Mock-Up of a Phase 1 Clinical Trials Infusion Suite for Polynesia’s first Early Phase Clinical Research Center 2020

Findings and images from the project supported grant applications and legislative requests that resulted in $13 million dollars of funding for the realization of the built project.

The P1CT ‘Ohana Suite was awarded the 2020 AIA Honolulu Distinctive Detail Award; was exhibited at the 2018 Ethnographic Praxis in Industry Conference (EPIC) Conference “Evidence” held in Honolulu, HI, October 10-12, 2018; and was present at the “Proof of Concept: Public - Public Partnerships at work”, led by Hawai‘i State Senator, Donovan M. Dela Cruz at at the Hawai‘i State Capitol, February 19, 2019.

DATA + –

A low-resolution mock-up of a private infusion suite was designed and built on-site for in-depth testing with caregivers, researchers, and physicians. Conversations with UHCC’s Patient Advocacy Committee, all survivors of Phase I Trials, or their partners formed the foundation of this project.

Modular wall panels, a CNC peg system, a precisely-scaled infusion chair, and foam-core millwork items are paired with an ecosystem of furniture, healthcare items, and personal objects to further validate specific use cases and key patient scenarios.

Infusion treatments can take less than an hour or last more than eight. This process was carefully unpacked through a series of interviews and co-creation sessions with nurses, physicians, researchers, and healthcare leadership. A resulting user journey broke the process down into a series of discrete steps that allowed for further detailed research.

This project was developed within the context of a larger scope that explored alternative scenarios for the utilization of 36,000 sq/ft of existing shell space adjacent to a world-class cancer research center overlooking the Kakaʻako Waterfront Park.
