In this silent hospital, patients are getting better faster
Hospital wards are often noisy, even during the night, which impacts patient recovery. In the UK, the Silent Hospital Pilot Project—a partnership between the NHS and DNV Imatis—is testing a new system on an antenatal ward. This system replaces traditional patient bells with alerts sent directly to nurses' and midwives' mobile phones.
The result is better rest for newborns and mothers, quicker recoveries, and more efficient patient care.
