In this silent hospital, patients are getting better faster
Hospital wards are often noisy, even during nighttime, which can negatively impact patient recovery. In the UK, the Silent Hospital Pilot Project, a collaboration between the NHS and DNV Imatis, is testing a new approach. Instead of patients using traditional bells to call nurses or midwives, alerts are sent directly to staff via mobile phones.
This system supports better rest for newborns and mothers, speeds recovery, and improves patient care efficiency.
