The future of care starts now
As a buildable platform, SPARK® Media is the conduit to present thousands of applications within healthcare environments.
It’s an advanced mobile app platform that helps Trusts create and integrate health, care, entertainment and engagement apps into their services. Meet the needs of your patients and visitors more effectively and efficiently with modern technology.
Standard apps include TV, radio, games, newspapers, magazines and surveys. Hospitals can select which apps they’d like to feature, including Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, Disney+, BBC iPlayer, and shopping and parking apps.
Specialist clinical apps can also be selected, such as electronic meal ordering, electronic observations and electronic patient records. They’re chosen based on your specific needs and can be customised by ward.
