New LCD TVs Specifically Designed for Hospital Use

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 11 Aug 2010
A new range of liquid crystal diode (LCD) televisions features interactive telehealth technology that brings entertainment, educational, and informational content to the bedside.

The Samsung (Seoul, Republic of Korea) LCD 458 models are available in 26 inch and 32 inch configurations, and include full integration of the TeleHealth Services (Raleigh, NC, USA) proprietary TIGR patient education system, which makes an entire library of educational videos available on-demand in hospital rooms.

Educational programs can be accessed at any time, day or night, directly from the patient's bedside using a hospital's telephone system. In addition, both models offer universal serial bus (USB) autosensing side inputs and an interchangeable pillow speaker interface. The USB autosensing side inputs enable patients to easily access content, such as music, movies, videos, games and more by allowing patients to connect external entertainment devices to the television via a USB port. Hospitals benefit from the interchangeable pillow speaker interface that enables inter-compatibility between multiple pillow speaker brands and pin sets.

The LCD TVs feature a full high definition (HD) display with wide color enhancer technology, delivering superior picture quality through sharp, detailed images and smooth motion. The LCD TVs also include Dolby Digital Plus and bottom firing speakers. A number of key features improve operational efficiency, meeting the more stringent requirements for use in hospital environments, and to assist in the ease of installation, the Samsung healthcare LCD TVs also feature USB cloning technology, making it easy for administrators to quickly customize and deploy the sets across the facility.

"Patients expect more from healthcare facilities and increasingly want access to modern conveniences when they are away from home. Samsung is excited to partner with TeleHealth Services to deliver solutions that help hospitals enhance the patient experience," said Jonas Tanenbaum, vice president of LCD HDTV marketing at Samsung Electronics America (Ridgefield Park, NJ, USA). "These new products demonstrate our continued commitment to bringing premium entertainment experiences to consumers no matter where they are."

"As the leading provider of patient education and entertainment solutions for the healthcare market, we are proud to be partnering with Samsung to provide this cutting edge technology to make the patient experience more enjoyable," said George Fleming, president and CEO of TeleHealth Services. "This is an exciting time for healthcare technology as these new healthcare LCD models combine the best entertainment features with the latest in healthcare television technology. TeleHealth Services is proud to be Samsung's partner as we provide hospitals with the ultimate patient television experience."
