Digital signage for every part of the waiting area
A patient sees the reception desk, the seating area, the calling screen and the corridor to the exam room in one visit, and each needs a different message. Look runs all of them from one account, each with its own layout, playlist and schedule.
Reception and check-in desk
Give patients clear guidance as they arrive.
Most questions at reception are the same handful: where to check in, what to bring, which forms are needed and what the Wi-Fi password is. A screen beside the desk answers them in turn, and the Wi-Fi share app puts the guest network on screen as a QR code.
Split the display into zones and the check-in steps stay visible while the rest of the playlist rotates.
Best for: Check-in steps, documents to bring, office hours, Wi-Fi QR code, payment and insurance notices
Main seating area
Curated content for the main seating area.
Build a playlist that mixes approved health education, seasonal reminders, team introductions and practice services with calm visuals, so what's on screen fits the room.
In most waiting rooms the sound is off, so every message has to work through large text and captions.
Best for: Health education, seasonal reminders, team introductions, practice services, news and weather
Now-serving and call-to-room screens
Direct the next patient without announcing names.
A calling screen can tell patients where to go without reading names out to the whole room. Use privacy-safe ticket codes or room numbers, set up in line with clinic policy and local rules.
If your queue or check-in system already publishes a now-serving web page, Embeddable Code puts it in one zone of the layout. Look displays that page; the queue itself stays in your system.
Best for: Ticket numbers, room numbers, clinician on duty, queue page from your system, next-step instructions
Specialty and department waiting areas
Instructions matched to the appointment.
Imaging and lab areas may need clinic-approved, procedure-specific prep reminders, and pediatrics needs content for parents and kids. Each screen group runs its own playlist and schedule for its department.
An approved morning reminder can come down by itself at noon, as scheduled.
Best for: Preparation instructions, fasting reminders, department hours, family content, QR to leaflets
Corridors and second waiting areas
Get patients to the right room the first time.
In a multi-floor clinic, patients are often sent from the main waiting room to a second one outside an exam room or scanner. A screen at the junction shows the department list, room numbers and a floor plan, with a QR code that opens the route on a phone.
If the network drops, cached images and video keep the directory on screen, and it syncs again once service is back.
Best for: Department lists, room numbers, floor plans, directional signs, QR to directions
Staff room behind reception
Reach front-desk staff between patients.
A screen in the back office or staff room shows approved shift notes, protocol reminders, training dates and shout-outs to reception and nursing teams, well away from patient areas.
Staff content has its own playlist and schedule in the same account, so patients never see it on their screens.
Best for: Shift notes, protocol reminders, training dates, team recognition, internal notices
