The Sensory Delivery Rooms
|
PPI Developement
Philips and Wavecare Technology has developed an innovative concept, in collaboration with Nordsjællands Hospital, where soothing music, changing coloured lighting and imagery on the wall will create a calming and stimulating ambience for the benefit of women in labour, their families and the medical staff. A project with a clinical objective “The use of lighting, sound and imagery in the delivery rooms is based on developments and progress during many years. |
Textile panels with specially developed film programmes create peace and harmony
“The task of producing soothing movements, colours and lighting via the textile panel has required a great deal of innovative thinking and development. On the other hand, the result we have produced is also ideal for use in many other areas of the healthcare sector and can be adapted for other patient groups,” explains Bjorn Wennerwald from Wavecare Technology. |
