June 16, London UK:
What if a cancer diagnosis didn't mean travelling to multiple locations for appointments, tests, treatment, and recovery?

For many patients, that's what the future of healthcare can look like.

Megan Angus (Angus Connect) and Kyle Basilius (Parkin Architects) share how 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘆 𝗛𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗖 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆. Its integrated model brings specialized cancer care and community hospital services together on a single campus.

The impact extends far beyond co-location.

When cancer care, emergency services, surgery, diagnostics, and inpatient care are connected through shared digital platforms, coordinated workflows, and intelligent systems, patients experience a healthcare journey that is simpler, faster, and more connected. Fewer handoffs. Less travel. Earlier access to care. Greater confidence that the system is working together on their behalf.

The session will examine how integrated care models can:
✅ Create clearer pathways for patients and families navigating complex health journeys
✅ Improve access to specialized care closer to home
✅ Reduce delays and barriers between diagnosis, treatment, and recovery
✅ Support clinicians with coordinated workflows that allow more time for patient care
✅ Enhance system resilience and capacity through smart hospital technologies and data-driven decision-making

The presentation will also explore how sustainability and healthcare outcomes intersect. As one of Canada's first fully electric hospitals, the project demonstrates how low-carbon design and circular economy principles can support healthier, more resilient healthcare environments for generations to come.

 
 

How can hospitals designed today harness the full potential of AI tomorrow?

June 15, 2026:  Megan Angus and Daniel Tannous of Angus Connect are presenting at the European Healthcare Design Conference in London, England. Their session, “Beyond bricks and bytes: How AI will transform hospital planning, design, and operations and why AI-ready infrastructure is essential for resilient care”, explores how artificial intelligence is poised to transform healthcare delivery over the next decade—and what that means for hospitals being planned and designed today.

Drawing on experience from major healthcare redevelopment projects and global exemplars, Megan and Daniel will examine five emerging AI-driven capabilities expected to reshape care models, from early-warning clinical analytics and intelligent patient flow to ambient clinical documentation and precision diagnostics.

Their presentation highlights how digital infrastructure, resilient networks, sensor-enabled environments, interoperability, digital twins, and flexible technology pathways are becoming essential foundations for healthcare facilities, so they can adapt, evolve, and support both patients and care teams in an increasingly complex healthcare landscape.

As healthcare facilities navigate workforce challenges, growing demand, and rapid technological change, designing AI-ready hospitals is becoming critical to creating more resilient, patient-centred environments.

We look forward to furthering this important global conversation on the future of healthcare design.
