Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our platform. If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out to our team.

How is digital signage used in healthcare?

Hospitals and clinics use screens for wayfinding, waiting room information, health education, promoting services and staff communication.

Can patients find their way with touch screens?

Yes. With Touch (Pro) you can build interactive maps and directories that patients and visitors use themselves.

How do you keep access to the screens secure?

Users sign in with two-factor authentication or single sign-on through Okta or Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), user roles control who can publish, and Audit Logs (Ultimate) record every change.

Can each department show different content?

Yes. Group screens by department and give each group its own playlists and schedule, all managed from one account.

Do waiting room screens keep playing if the network goes down?

Yes. Content is stored on the player and keeps playing offline, and changes arrive as soon as the connection is back.

Can we use the screens to keep staff informed?

Yes. Screens in staff areas can show protocols, procedure changes and announcements, and the Emergency System sends urgent alerts to every screen at once.
