The interactive entertainments available, including movies and audio books that patients can pause and rewind, provide light relief from worry and boredom. And the online menu allows patients to browse at their leisure, giving them time to work up an appetite.

The 17” high resolution screen is viewable from any angle. Patients can operate the entertainment system by remote control or touch-screen technology.

For hospitals

Hospitals that have installed Tele-Call have found that the system is more than self-financing, thanks to the revenue from the patient entertainment and communication services. Improved staff and catering efficiency also helps save time and money, and happy patients recover more quickly, freeing up valuable bed space.

Installing Tele-Call at the same time as our IPiN Nurse Call system offers hospitals additional savings and minimises disruption.
