Graphical representation of transforming residential indoor spaces into therapeutic interior environment opportunities by integrating biophilic design and disease-specific self-care. (A) Examples of the relationship between residential indoor spaces, daily functions and health. (B) The concept of therapeutic interior environments created by integrating biophilic design with spaces fostering self-care practices. (C) Potential benefits of integrating biophilic design and self-care are presented as a network of mutually beneficial interconnections improving health-related outcomes. As an example, both biophilic design and listening to music can improve quality sleep, while all three (biophilic elements, quality sleep and music) have positive effects on mental health, neurological functions and the immune system.
