Medical Application of Audio-spotlight

Installation of Audio-spotlight System at Vanderbilt Medical Center

• Create a unique, soothing atmosphere for patients.
• Reduce unwanted noise during crucial medical treatments.

Responding to an increasing demand for chemotherapy services, The Vanderbilt Medical Center added a new clinic consisting of nearly 100 beds to their cancer center, with a unique new approach to the patient experience. Planning and development for the clinic occurred over two years, allowing the careful selection of room colors, furniture, and entertainment for patients, including flat screen televisions in each room. This desirable addition also created the problem of noise bleeding throughout the center, distracting staff and troubling patients, whom they were trying to put at ease. After careful consideration, Vanderbilt found the Audio Spotlight system to be the best solution for providing sound to their patients, without the noise problems associated with traditional loudspeakers, or other "directional" audio systems. The Audio Spotlight systems have been praised by patients and staff alike, and Vanderbilt plans on continuing to use them as they expand their facilities.
