Healthcare digital signage
Healthcare digital signage for waiting rooms and clinics
Replace cable TV in the waiting room with clinic hours, wellness tips, and service information you control. Staff screens carry shift notes and reminders, and urgent facility notices can override every screen at once.
First 3 screens free. No credit card.
A waiting room you program
Show hours, services, seasonal health reminders, and calm visuals instead of whatever is on cable.
Notices that take priority
An Emergency priority message overrides every scheduled loop until you clear it.
Different screens, different jobs
Patient areas, hallways, and staff rooms each get their own playlists and schedules.
Steady through network trouble
Screens keep playing from a verified local cache if the facility network goes down.
A waiting room channel you control
Patients look at the waiting room screen while they wait, so give it something useful. Rotate clinic hours, new services, flu shot reminders, patient portal sign-up steps, and calming nature footage. Ask the AI Designer for “a flu season reminder, soft blues, large text” and pick from three versions. Schedule morning and afternoon loops, and keep patient-specific information off the screen; the system is built for general messaging, not records.
- Rotating education, hours, and service content
- Large, high-contrast text from a simple request
- Morning, afternoon, and after-hours loops
- Videos, images, and web pages in one playlist
Wayfinding and department information
Lobby and hallway screens help visitors find imaging, labs, the pharmacy, and parking without stopping at the front desk. Build a directory screen once, then update it when a department moves or hours change. Each screen gets content for its spot in the building, and a temporary override can redirect people during construction or a closed entrance. On Standard and up, live wait times can come from a scheduling system through a REST/JSON or webhook data connection.
- Directory and floor screens per location
- Temporary overrides for closures and reroutes
- Portrait and landscape layouts
- Live wait-time feeds from REST/JSON
Staff communication behind the scenes
Break rooms and nurse stations need different content than patient areas: shift reminders, training dates, recognition, and policy updates. Put those screens in their own group with their own schedule so internal messages never land in the waiting room. Multi-site systems can share network-wide content and let each facility add local notes. Location-scoped roles keep each team to its own screens, and on Pro, approval chains route content to reviewers before it goes live.
- Separate screen groups for staff-only areas
- Network-wide content with local additions
- Remote status, screenshots, and restarts
- Role permissions, with approvals on Pro

FAQ
Healthcare: common questions
Is DigitalSign HIPAA compliant?
We do not claim HIPAA compliance. DigitalSign is built for general messaging like hours, education, and directions, and screens should not display protected health information.
Can we show live patient wait times?
Yes, through a REST/JSON, CSV, Google Sheets, or webhook data connection on Standard and up, as long as the data contains no patient information. You can also show a web page your systems already publish.
How do we post an urgent facility notice?
Publish a message at Emergency priority to the screens or locations you choose. It overrides every other schedule until you end it.
Can staff-only content stay out of patient areas?
Yes. Put staff screens in their own group and target internal schedules only at that group.
Does it support approval before content goes live?
Yes, on Pro. Designers request publishing, and one or two approval steps sign off before content reaches a screen. You can also require approval for AI-made content.
