The Jefferson Center of Immersive Arts for Health
Research
Research shows art can positively impact human health, specifically in healthcare environments. Most research focuses on static art: paintings, prints, or sculptures. At Jefferson, we are at the forefront of studying how immersive experiences can impact well-being with new media and dynamic art.
The Jefferson Center for Immersive Arts in Health has brought together a diverse team from Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health, including artists, designers, researchers, and clinicians. This team develops and tests prototypes and interactive experiences, researches the impact of immersive art, and makes recommendations for its implementation.
