Waiting room digital signage for hospitals and clinics
Show opening hours, health tips and practical updates on the screens in your waiting rooms, and change them for every location from one dashboard.
Keep waiting rooms informative, not silent
Today's clinic hours and announcements kept current, health advice and prevention content while people wait, a practical change like an altered opening time or a canceled appointment slot pushed to every waiting room the moment it happens. Practices and hospitals use Screenbird to keep waiting rooms informative instead of silent.
Ready-made designs for your waiting room
The designer comes with ready-made healthcare designs, such as Clinic Info, Doctor Spotlight and Health Tip. Fill in your opening hours, your team and your own advice, and let them rotate in a playlist. Every design comes in landscape and portrait.
Which screen do you need for a waiting room?
A waiting room screen needs no special hardware. Here's what to look for:
Size
In a small waiting room, 43 inches is readable from every chair. For a larger room or a longer viewing distance, go for 55 inches or more.
Placement
Hang the screen where every seat can see it without turning around, high enough that people walking past don't block the view.
Sound
Screens play without sound unless you turn it on, which suits most waiting rooms. Want sound with a video? Turn off Mute audio for that screen.
Player
Plug a Google TV Streamer or Fire TV Stick into the HDMI port, or use a Windows or Android device. That's all you need to get started.
Update every waiting room from the front desk
Update waiting room content from one dashboard, and give different departments or locations their own screens without anyone needing IT.

How teams use Screenbird
Richard
Practice manager, GP surgery
“The waiting room was just four walls and awkward silence. Now we have a screen running appointment reminders and health information, and patients seem genuinely less anxious while they wait.”

A waiting room channel, or your own screen?
There are two ways to fill a waiting room screen. Both work; the difference is in who decides what's on it.
Through a waiting room channel provider
- Ready-made health programming that changes by itself
- Screen, player and content often in one contract
- Your own news usually goes in through the provider
Do it yourself with Screenbird
- Use your own TV and a simple player
- From $14 per screen per month, no contract
- Your opening hours, team and advice, changed in seconds
