Showroom TV

Waiting room TV that tells patients what they actually want to know

Waiting room TV that tells patients what they actually want to know

What it looks like in practice

  1. 08:00, reception: the morning starts late

    The first appointment overran. You type one ticker line, Running about 15 minutes behind, thank you for your patience, and the waiting room TV shows it within about a minute.

  2. 10:30: a new hygienist joins the team

    You add her photo and a short welcome to the team slide and publish. Patients who know her from the chair recognize her on the screen the same day.

  3. December: the holiday hours go up

    A campaign with a date range shows when the practice is closed and who covers emergencies. It starts on the first of December and steps back on its own in January.

  4. Friday afternoon: the vet screen gets its own loop

    The second practice in the next town is a location in the same workspace. Its screen shows its own team and hours, while the shared service slides run in both.

A waiting room TV is the one screen your patients look at while they wait, so it should show your practice, not someone else's channel. Showroom TV turns the TV in your waiting area into a screen you run from reception: the team, your services, opening hours, holiday closures and a quick note when the schedule slips. Any TV with a modern browser works, and so does an Android TV or Google TV device. Start from the medical templates for the waiting room and for explaining treatments, and fill them with your own words and photos.

Practices change their messages with the calendar: flu season, the school holidays, a new opening hour on Thursdays. With campaigns and schedules each message runs from a start date to an end date or on chosen weekdays and hours, and the screen hands back to your normal loop when it is over. Pick a ready-made layout with a ticker line and a clock under the main picture, add a weather zone with the local forecast for patients heading home, and every change you publish reaches the TV within about a minute. Everything lives in one KIMISUITE workspace with Showroom TV, so a second practice is simply a second location.

What you get

  • Waiting room TV templates to start from

    Apply Waiting room or Treatment explainers and Showroom TV sets up the screen layout, a first slide loop and a draft schedule for you. Replace the sample text with your services and your team.

  • Delay notes from reception

    Type a ticker line and publish. Patients see that the morning runs late without asking at the desk, and you remove the line once you have caught up.

  • Holiday hours that switch themselves

    Give the closure notice a date range. It appears on the first day you choose and disappears afterwards, so January patients never see December's message.

  • Text slides without a designer

    Write a slide line by line, choose text color, background, size and alignment. New opening hours or a parking note are on the screen in a few minutes.

  • A clock patients can trust

    The clock zone runs in your practice's time zone, in a minimal, card or board design, with the date if you want it.

  • An emergency notice when you need it

    The emergency campaign overrides everything on the screens it targets, for a sudden closure or a changed entrance. It is part of the Business plan.

What a practice screen costs

Weather and calendar zones come with the ready-made layouts, so the screen shows the forecast and the days you mark without extra content to buy.

The TV
the one already on your wall, if it has a modern browser, or an Android TV or Google TV device
Content
your own slides from the templates: no channel subscription, no content library to buy
Software
one subscription for the practice workspace; the plan sets the number of screens
Reception team
everyone at reception works in one workspace; your first app includes ten members

How to get started

  1. Open the player on the waiting room TV

    Open tv.kimisuite.com in the TV's browser or install the Showroom TV app from Google Play on an Android TV device. The TV shows an eight-character code.

  2. Pair it at reception

    Add Showroom TV to your KIMISUITE workspace, type the code, call the screen Waiting room and choose the practice as its location.

  3. Fill the medical template

    Apply Waiting room, replace the sample text with your services and team, upload photos and use a layout with a ticker for short notes. Publish the playlist.

  4. Plan the season

    Keep the main loop always on, then add date-range campaigns for holiday hours or a seasonal reminder. The schedule shows what each screen plays today.

Pricing

Showroom TV starts at a fixed monthly price (see pricing) for your practice's workspace, for the whole team at reception. Start covers three screens at one practice: waiting room, reception and a corridor.

A second site, screen groups, your own layouts and remote restart come with Grow. Emergency campaigns and the report of what each screen played are part of Business.

Is it the right fit?

A good fit if

  • Dental practices, doctor's offices and medical centers with a TV in the waiting area
  • Vets, physiotherapists and therapy practices that want their own news on screen
  • Group practices that run several sites from one reception team
  • Practices that change opening hours and notices with the seasons

Not the right fit if

  • Practices looking for a patient call system with ticket numbers or names on screen
  • Practices that want a ready-made library of medical videos
  • Waiting rooms that should keep showing live TV channels between the slides
  • Practices that want patients to check in or tap through content on the screen

Frequently asked questions

What can a waiting room TV show with Showroom TV?

Your own slides: the team, services, opening hours, holiday closures, parking notes and short ticker lines. You write them from templates and photos; the TV plays them in a loop.

Does Showroom TV call patients by name or number?

No. It is not a patient call system and shows no patient data. It shows the messages you publish for everyone in the room.

Can I put a quick note on the screen when we run late?

Yes. Type a ticker line at reception and publish. A running screen picks up the change within about a minute, and you remove the line when you are back on time.

Do I need a new TV for the waiting room?

Usually not. A TV with a modern browser can run the web player, and an Android TV or Google TV device works too. You pair it once with a code.

Can the waiting room TV show the weather or upcoming closures?

Yes. Give the layout a weather zone and patients see today's forecast for your town; the server fetches it every 15 minutes, so the first forecast shows up within a quarter of an hour. Next to it, a calendar zone highlights the dates you pick, such as a holiday closure or a Saturday flu clinic. The medical templates bring layouts and sample text; the content itself is yours.

We have two practices. Can each screen show its own team?

Yes. Make each practice a location, send shared slides to both and practice-specific campaigns to one. The schedule shows what each practice's screen plays today.

Can the screen show other slides on the days the hygienist works?

Yes. Give a campaign a weekly pattern, for example Tuesdays and Thursdays from 08:00 to 13:00, and it plays only then. On the other days the screen goes back to your normal loop by itself.
