The challenge

Smile Eyes was looking for a solution to accommodate the customers by making the waiting experience in the clinic for their appointment more pleasant. At the same time, they would like to inform them about the range of services provided in the clinic and about the latest developments.
The main challenge was to provide a cost-effective solution, without getting into high costs and a long term investment.
Together with Smile Eyes, we decided to create a Digital Signage solution for clinics while using their existing smart TVs and designing the content in a way that it can be easily changed and amended remotely. In addition, we had to design attractive and creative content that will be broadcast on multiple screens simultaneously in the clinic. The Digital Signage Solution of six screens displaying two different contents aims to intensify the viewers’ interest and exposed them to the variety of treatments provided in the clinic and about the latest news.
Furthermore, we had to develop the software in a way that it can easily be transferred in the future to other Smile Eyes branches throughout Europe.

What had to be Done

NoviSign has the capabilities to work on almost any screen and system. This fact allows Smile Eyes to use their existing Smart TVs and to avoid significant investment in hardware.
Therefore, they had only to choose the locations they would want to install their screens.

The six existing Smart TVs displays were split into two groups. Each group, consisting of three screens, broadcasts different content. Therefore, out of 6 screens throughout the clinic, only 2 external media player units were needed.

The Solution

Waiting room signageNoviSign has installed 2 media players, displaying custom made graphic design content of Smile Eyes’ latest updates through animation and videos.
NoviSign provided Smile Eyes‘ team with online tutorials so that they could learn how to operate the system independently. After two training sessions, the Smile Eyes team could create and manage the content on their own. The updates and design changes can be made remotely by the team, even from their mobile device.

Strong Collaboration

Smile Eyes has subscribed to the NoviSign software, enabling them to independently update the content easily and from anywhere.

The Results

Due to the NoviSign solution, Smile Eyes customers have been given a much more pleasant waiting time which passes much faster. The customers like the fact that they can use their waiting time to consume information about the services, the capabilities and the latest news of Smile Eyes.
Patients received a lot of information that enabled them to get into the appointment pre-informed and more confident.

Testimonials

Smile Eyes:
The hardware installation was very simple because NoviSign provided the players with NoviSign Software pre-installed. We only needed to connect the software to our existing Hardware and we were ready to go – this helped us to avoid buying additional hardware. NoviSign operates well on existing screens that we had already installed. Designing and updating the content that we broadcast to our patients is very simple and can be done from anywhere with a computer, laptop or even Smartphone with an internet connection. The newly installed information system is appreciated by our patients.
The NoviSign complete digital signage solution was our perfect choice because it can be used to manage dynamic content that includes information, videos, news and all other elements that we rate to be suitable to our patients. It supports us in our ambition to provide best in class services and information to our patients.

The Project Manager, Rodny Scherzer:

“It was a great experience to design and implement this system for a professional service provider in the medical fields.
