The Pulse Stairs installation at Godstrup super hospital aims to create a fun and engaging environment where walking up the stairs to the Children and Young People’s Department becomes an exciting experience that resonates with your heart rate, changing your body and the lighting in the stairwells.

A continuous pulse-sensitive chandelier connects the three floors of the stairwell, providing a visual representation of heart rhythms. Each floor features a podium where children and adults can record their pulse and transmit it to the chandelier or view it on a screen in front of them, providing a truly immersive and physical understanding of their pulse.
Participants can run up the stairs and observe how the rhythm of light directly correlates to their pulse, creating a unique and engaging experience. This interactive feature not only motivates rehabilitation but also allows healthcare professionals to make the process enjoyable, incorporating play as a motivational tool.

The Pulse Stairs combines cutting-edge technology, interactivity, and training motivation, offering an unparalleled interactive experience on a staircase. By transforming a mundane transport space into an intense sensory experience, it motivates daily use, enhances standardized clinical tests, and promotes rehabilitation.

The Pulse Stairs installation represents a pioneering approach to rehabilitation, merging technology, interactivity, and motivation. It creates an engaging sensory journey on a staircase, revolutionizing the way individuals perceive and participate in their rehabilitation process, ultimately improving their overall well-being.
Cocreative workshops were held with children to help develop games to play on the stairs and test prototypes.
