Smarter Solutions for Better Care
Healthcare Design Trends 2025
As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, NeoCon and DesignDays 2025 revealed that manufacturers are not only keeping up - they’re leading the charge with innovations that are intuitive and deeply human.
Our Healthcare team explored the latest releases from partners like MillerKnoll, DIRTT, and OFS - each showcasing solutions built to meet the shifting needs of patients, families, and care providers. Here’s what stood out, and what’s shaping the next generation of care environments.
Gemma Double Flop Sofa
One of the biggest showstoppers this year was the new Gemma Double Flop Sofa from MillerKnoll. Designed specifically with pediatric settings in mind, such as NICUs and family-centered care units, this intuitive sleeper was created to support the real life needs of families. With a simple mechanism, the sofa transforms into a sleeping surface that can comfortably accommodate two parents or a parent and child resting side by side.
Part of the broader Gemma Seating Family, this sleeper is more than just a place to rest - it supports the realities of family-centered care while ensuring a functional familiarity throughout healthcare environments.
Future-proofing through design flexibility emerged as a standout theme, driven by adaptive thinking that equips healthcare spaces and users for what’s next.
Manufacturers are responding to the need for adaptable, reconfigurable spaces with modular, prefabricated solutions that keep healthcare environments agile.
DIRTT and MillerKnoll showcased wall systems, modular casework, and prefabricated architectural elements built for ease of installation and long-term adaptability - an especially critical asset in healthcare settings where construction downtime is costly.
OFS’s Mile Marker casework system stood out for its modular design seamlessly flexing between clinical, administrative, and transitional spaces to support dynamic healthcare environments.
Its cohesive aesthetic and accelerated lead times give teams the clarity and agility to make confident decisions, at every stage of the process.
From seating built for family healing spaces to casework that reconfigures on demand, this year’s trends in healthcare underscored a clear directive: build for adaptability, and design with empathy.
Continua is proud to equip our clients with products that translate this into real-world impact, creating healthcare environments that heal, connect, and evolve with what's next.
