Developing an intelligent healthcare solution for hospitals, an all-in-one smart TV system

Powered by Foxconn, the largest electronics manufacturer, our mission is to establish a smart hospital ecosystem. Partnering with US hospitals, researching and developing a Smart TV to fulfill needs of clinicians and patients.

Brief

Transforming cold and uninspiring hospital rooms into warm, comforting spaces, we create a hotel-like experience for patients. Our all-in-one solution combines an entertainment TV with an interactive patient room display system.

Role and Collaborations

I led UI/UX design for the smart hospital TV proposal, collaborating with hardware, and system integration teams under directorial guidance. Created a demo video for presentations at events and partnered with senior management to showcase it to US hospital partners.

Takeaway

Balancing Patient Care and Business Growth

Smart Hospitals offer many optimization chances. It's crucial to improve patient care and business outcomes together. This means making hospital processes better, increasing patient happiness, and making healthcare staff work more efficiently, all while ensuring care is compassionate and sustainable growth.

Smart Integration of Hospital Systems

Use the existing hospital infrastructure wisely. Instead of starting from scratch, enhance how these systems work together. This strategy boosts efficiency and reduces overlap, optimizing the overall healthcare experience.
