Ett innovationsprojekt inom Region Stockholm

2–4 juni 2025 samlas akutvårdspersonal på European EMS Congress 2025 i Stockholm Waterfront. Under visningstiderna finns projektledare från  kulturförvaltningen och AISAB upp resultatet av det gemensamma konst- och innovationsprojekt. 

Syftet med projektet är att undersöka hur konstnärliga uttryck – som ljud, ljus och visuella miljöer – kan bidra till en bättre vårdmiljö i ambulansfordon. Projektet har pågått sedan 2022 och kombinerar konstnärlig forskning med praktisk tillämpning i verkliga ambulanser. 

För en ny sorts ambulansmiljö

I den ambulans som visas under kongressen har flera konstnärliga element tagits fram och anpassats utifrån olika sinnesintryck:

• Ljusdesign: Varmare belysning skapar en lugnare atmosfär. 
• Ljudmiljö: Specialskriven musik, inspelad av Kungliga Filharmonikerna, dämpar sirenernas höga ljud. 
• Visuell konst: Bilder och mönster på väggar, tak och fönster ger ett mer mänskligt intryck. 
• Taktila objekt: Små skulpturer kan aktivera eller lugna patienten under färden. 

In English: Art in Ambulance Vehicles on EMS

The Art in Ambulance Vehicles project will be on display at the international EMS congress. Come and visit us on site:

Monday 2 June: 1200-1300, and 1700-1815  
Tuesday 3 June: 1200-1300, and 1500-1730  
Wednesday 4 June: 1200-1300, and 1500-1730

The European EMS Congress 2025 will take place June 2-4 at the Stockholm Waterfront congress centre. The congress offers a forum for healthcare professionals to discuss the latest research and innovations in emergency care.

The Cultural Administration at Region Stockholm and AISAB will be taking part in the congress, demonstrating the results of a unique collaborative project that has been ongoing since 2022. Applied artistic research and artistic design in ambulance vehicles are combined in an innovative project to explore how cultural expressions can be used in an ambulance vehicle with the aim of improving the vehicle's interior environment for both patients and staff.

The next phase of the project

Interest in cultural interventions in healthcare is increasing and research shows that culture can be beneficial for health in a variety of ways. After the completion of a preliminary study that highlighted the conditions for how cultural expressions can be used in ambulance vehicles, as well as the production and testing of prototypes, the project is now entering a new phase.

• The artistic interventions have now been fine-tuned and installed in a test vehicle. Specially written music recorded by the Royal Swedish Philharmonic Orchestra creates a soundscape that camouflages the harsh siren sounds.
• Lighting design in the vehicle contributes to a more harmonious working environment and art on the walls, windows and ceiling give opportunities for reflection and distraction.
• The inclusion of small tactile sculptures can also distract or activate the patients.

The project is currently focusing on preparations to implement the innovations in several ambulance vehicles operating in the greater Stockholm area. The project is made possible through funding from the Innovation Fund within Region Stockholm.  

The artists and researchers involved in the project:

• Visual environment: Pia Sandström, artist  
• Sound environment: Robin McGinley, Stockholm University and Ricardo Atienza, Aalto University.  
• Five specially written pieces are recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in the Stockholm Concert Hall.  
• Lighting environment: Rodrigo Muro Avendano and Foteini Kyriakidou, KTH
