subject: Non Loop-able Tv Enclosures Used By The Medical Sector Not Just For Digital Signage. [print this page] Now with the aid of fresh, unique content medical facilities are using these medium as was to educate patients, for example people who suffer from heart problems can be educated in to a healthier lifestyle, so their scare may be only that and that the patient doesnt end up on the operating table.
In general waiting rooms, content can display exercise programs, whilst in the childrens ward cartoons can be displayed, taking the childs mind off the current situation and making them more relaxed. Digital signage is perfect for this as the content can be uploaded at night when the waiting areas are empty for the next day or even schedule the updates for a week in advance.
Now there is one area within the medical sector that struggles when they want to deploy standard displays in waiting rooms and hospital rooms, these are in the mental health units. As the doctors, nurses have a duty of care to protect these patients from self harming and this causes problems if a standard LCD television was to be mounted on the wall, as this will facilitate the patient harming themselves.
There are units on the market that conform to non loop-able requirements; this is also classed as anti-ligature requirements in Europe, these are specifically designed to prevent any noose being formed around them so patients can not harm themselves.
Another area is the emergency room, when it is late at night and people are admitted to the hospital being a little worse for taking alcohol, they can sometimes get a little aggressive and through items around the emergency room, now these protective cases protect the displays that are housed inside from items that are thrown, preventing them hitting the display and smashing the screen.
