Digital signage for waiting rooms and clinic receptions
A waiting room screen has two jobs: tell people what is happening, and make the wait feel shorter. Both are undone the moment the screen is showing a message from last winter.
What a waiting room screen carries
- Current waiting times and clinic running status, so reception is asked less often
- Health information relevant to the season and to the service people are waiting for
- Which services this site offers, and how to book them
- Registration and paperwork guidance, in the languages your patients use
- Practice notices: opening hours, holiday cover, closures, new staff
- Quiet, slow moving content that reads as calm rather than as advertising
- Separate screens for staff areas, on their own permissions
Build a waiting room screen right here, without an account
The screen builder below opens on a clinic waiting room. Type your clinic name and three patient notices, and watch the screen run its loop, with morning surgery, the afternoon and the evening clinic on a weekly grid.
Venue
Orientation
Layout
- Venue: restaurant, retail store, clinic, gym, office or school
- Orientation: landscape 16:9 or portrait 9:16
- Layout: full bleed, main plus sidebar, or a menu board in three columns
- Content: your business name and three short lines, prefilled for the venue you picked
The schedule strip underneath shows the same playlist placed on a weekly grid, which is exactly what the schedule view does inside the product.
Content that suits a clinic
Screens in a healthcare space are read by people who are worried. Slow transitions, large type, no sound by default, and fewer items on a longer rotation do more than a busy loop. The templates keep a plain layout with a main area, a sidebar for service information and a quiet ticker for the practice notice.
Several sites, one panel
Tag screens by site, department or service and schedule against the tag. A group notice reaches every reception, while one site keeps its own opening hours on its own screen. Approval can sit with the practice manager so nothing published reaches a patient area unchecked.
Proof of play matters here for a specific reason: a public health message you were asked to display is evidenced by the record and the screenshot, per site and per day.
Practical in a clinic building
- Runs on the screens and mini PCs already in the building, in a browser
- No inbound connection to the device, which keeps network approval simple
- Players keep playing through a network outage
- Alerts when a screen at a branch site stops reporting, sent to that site
- Access scoped by site and by role, with an audit log on the Network plan
What a practice pays
Billed per active screen, so two waiting rooms and a reception count as three. Essential at 19 USD per screen monthly runs one site. Professional at 29 USD adds groups, roles and proof of play for a group of practices. See the pricing page.
Can we show current waiting times
Yes. A web page item shows your existing queue or clinic status page on the screen, refreshed in place, so the screen follows the system rather than a person.
Can each site manage its own notices
Yes, with roles scoped to the site and approval before anything reaches other sites.
Is patient information ever on our servers
Only what you choose to display. If the screen shows a page from your own system, that page is fetched by the player and the content is not stored by us. The security page sets out how access and storage work.
Put one waiting room on it
One screen, one calm loop, and a reception desk answering fewer of the same question. Add the other sites when it works.
