How can a mobile living wall improve well-being and emotional health in palliative care settings? 

This capstone explores how a calming mobile living wall can improve the well-being and emotional health of individuals with ALS in palliative care, as well as those who care for them. This project examines a mobile green wall as an adaptable solution that introduces the benefits of green design into various spaces within a care facility. The goals of this project are (1) to better understand how mobile green walls enhance users’ senses, thus reducing anxiety and influencing mood and stress and (2) to gain insight into a mobile green wall’s overall impact in palliative care environments.
