Ava Display › Healthcare

One runtime across the estate.

Hospitals procure separate systems for wayfinding, staff communications, room booking and video walls, each with its own vendor, renewal and hardware. Ava Display consolidates them into a single runtime configured per location.

Content model

Screens render from source systems, not from authored slides.

Conventional signage platforms are content managers with a player attached: staff author content, schedule it, and the screens replay it. Currency depends on that authoring continuing indefinitely, which is why estates drift out of date. Ava Display renders from the systems the organisation already operates, so screen content reflects current state without an authoring step.

Deployment profiles

One runtime, five deployment profiles.

A single build and a single update path across the estate. A screen's role is configuration rather than a separate product, procurement and renewal. The profiles below are the same device under different configuration.

Exception reporting. Static directories are served adequately by printed signage. Digital estate value is in same-day exceptions: closures, relocations, service interruptions.
ALL SCREENS · PLAYING
Full HD, 30fps, every screen
Trust briefing, live to the whole estate
Cached on every device beforehand, so playback does not depend on the network at the moment it matters.
Hundreds of screens, in step
Full-rate video, estate-wide. 1080p at 30fps across the entire estate simultaneously. Briefings, training and campaign assets play as video, not as timed stills.

Integration and content sourcing

Each profile above is a rendered view of an existing source: queue management, room booking, campaign scheduling, estates notices. Any system exposing an API, a feed, an export or a published page can drive a screen.

This removes the recurring authoring workload that determines whether a signage estate stays current, and removes it as a dependency rather than reducing it.

Video assets are distributed to devices in advance and played from local storage, so estate-wide playback at 1080p and 30fps does not depend on network conditions at play time.

Presentation and casting

Time-limited single-use codes issued per room, displayed as digits and QR. Joins are restricted to declared networks and individually attributable. Applicable to consult rooms, teaching rooms and MDT meetings. Casting detail →

Emergency override

Priority interruption across every screen and every campus simultaneously, initiated and cleared from a mobile device. No scheduled content outranks it. Signage platforms are generally architected around scheduling rather than interruption, which is where this differs.

Fleet monitoring

Continuous per-device condition reporting across the estate, included rather than provided by a separate device management platform.

Data scope

Ticket state, room schedules and campaign inventory require no patient record, and the platform holds none. Out of scope by design: patient room boards displaying name, condition or care team, and any integration with a clinical record system.
