In this silent hospital, patients are getting better faster
Hospital wards are often noisy environments, even during the night, which negatively impacts patient recovery times. In the UK, the Silent Hospital Pilot Project— a joint initiative between the NHS and DNV Imatis— is testing an innovative solution.
The project replaces traditional bells that patients use to call nurses or midwives with alerts sent directly to medical staff's mobile phones on an antenatal ward.
This new system leads to better-rested mothers and newborns, quicker recoveries, and more efficient patient care overall.
