The platform for digital transformation in healthcare
The answer to improving the patient experience is now here for the UK.
SPARK® Fusion is the latest state-of-the-art solution taking over the UK. Born from a SPARK TSL acquisition, SPARK® Fusion is a complete end-to-end infotainment solution that supports both patients, staff and NHS Hospitals.

A success story in The Netherlands
Enhancing the patient experience and staff efficiencies with a flexible and scalable solution that’s always up to date.
SPARK® Fusion provides a unique total solution for healthcare providers and healthcare patients on a bedside unit in hospital. It is an app-based platform providing functionality in addition to our SPARK® Media BYOD solution, which is available on Apple iPad devices at the bedside.
When people are in hospital or when they are in regular contact with healthcare providers, patients like to be in control as much as possible, prior to treatment, during their stay in a healthcare environment, and during recovery.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Are the units free to use for patients?
What's different about these units to Hospedia units?
The three key differences are:
- Everything is free to use for patients.
- They aren’t 20 years old. Units won’t need to be repaired as frequently, they’re more user friendly, have modern touch screens and functionality.
- They’re customisable down to ward level.
You can choose what you’d like patients to have access to through our apps catalogue. With integrations options available for meal ordering and clinical use, SPARK Fusion is much more than a TV.
Can I replace Hospedia units with these easily?
Why should Trusts consider replacing Hospedia with SPARK® Fusion?
If Hospedia is already in your Trust, then you know that the concept of a bedside entertainment unit could be a brilliant tool for both patients and staff. Currently they run off an outdated patient pays model that everyone wants to be rid of (including us!) and have limited functionality. It’s more cost effective and less disruptive to replace the Hospedia screens with SPARK® Fusion, than it is to entirely remove the existing Hospedia Bedside Units, arms and all.
Please help us remove the patient pays model and vastly improve the patient experience along with providing ROI for your Trust.
Why should Trusts consider installing SPARK® Fusion as a patient entertainment & engagement solution?
If your Trust doesn’t have Hospedia, then you’ll notice a digital divide between the elderly who rely on staff and physical reading materials, and those who have their own device. SPARK® Fusion bridges this digital inequality by providing everyone with access to free entertainment and hospital resources. Why is this important? If improving the patient experience isn’t reason enough, then just look at the ROI benefits this technology can bring to your staff and hospital.
I’m a patient/staff and need help with a Hospedia Bedside Unit. Where do I go?
How long does it take to install the units from new?
With power and data in place, we can install 50 Bedside Units per week.
It would take another 3 days to set up the core infrastructure. On top of this.
