The ISPARK Mobile Makerspace Initiative brings design tools and support directly into hospital intensive care units (ICUs) to empower frontline healthcare teams as innovators. Led by a cross-disciplinary team, this project aims to bridge the persistent gap between bedside challenges and medical innovation by providing mobile, accessible prototyping resources. Grounded in the theme “Designing Legacy: The Past, Present and Future of Industrial Design,” ISPARK reactivates the legacy of hands-on making while promoting inclusive, real-time design thinking in high-stakes environments. It demonstrates how democratized design can lead to meaningful, immediate improvements in patient care.
