A Review of Physical and Digital Mock-Up Applications in Healthcare Building Development

Mock-up simulation is a design or human factor research method to help designers identify key issues and factors of product environment. This paper discusses physical mock-up (PMU) digital (DMU) applications in healthcare building development through narrative literature review. The following questions are addressed this paper: what would the purposes using PMU DMU simulations be? At which phase hospital be used? What methods can used conduct simulations? advantages disadvantages these two highlights importance clinical staff’s involvement simulations. It gives recommendations for practitioners project managers implement projects.
