About Health & Wellbeing
The University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP) is dedicated to being a platform for intersecting disciplines, sharing knowledge and applications, and connecting with communities to improve society's health
and wellbeing. Our outcomes are intended to develop products and tools to help bring about future living as healthier selves, homes, and neighborhoods. We focus on convergent research integrating considerations of future technology and future
care systems, including dwellings and abilities for humans to reach their potentials and wellbeing.
