Research has shown that the physical setting of healthcare helps people reframe their expectations of care, moving away from perceptions of control towards comfort and well-being. Inspired by transforming care spaces with better environments, Ouva has delivered its Sensory Experience Platform on a groundbreaking 17ft video wall with near-8K resolution, at the brand new Bill & Olivia Amos Children’s Hospital, part of Piedmont Columbus Regional. This touch-free, gesture-activated platform is designed to captivate, comfort, and engage patients, families, and staff in a truly impactful way.
Transformative Sensory Experience for Improved Outcomes
"The video wall is designed to engage and entertain both children and adults. It’s fantastic!”
Cary Burcham, Chief Nursing Officer
Ouva's immersive platform is engineered for relaxation and healing in hospitals, behavioral health units, and occupational therapy clinics. Leveraging AI technology, Ouva creates calming environments that actively support patients' well-being.
Key research has shown that people recovered faster after surgery and used fewer painkillers if their hospital bed overlooked a natural scene (like a garden). Building on the impact of nature on healing, the platform’s fully immersive landscapes, soothing sounds, and biophilic visuals help reduce anxiety, lower the need for sedation, and shorten lengths of stay—ultimately improving patient outcomes.
Delivering Insights and Better Patient Communication with AI
In addition, the video wall is enhanced by powerful AI-driven tracking capabilities. The Ouva platform provides real-time insights into key operational metrics, such as patient flow and engagement levels. In occupational therapy settings, these insights become even more specialized, offering detailed feedback on how children respond to different sensory experiences—allowing the environment to adapt dynamically to better support their healing journey.
Ouva is equipped with smart messaging feature that uses AI to activate when visitors engage companion characters. This feature allows for personalized interactions, offering greetings, patient education, and announcements with high engagement.
World Class Delivery and Support
"The Ouva team partnered with us through every step of our process, from video wall selection and installation to training. Everyone that enters the Main Lobby of the Bill & Olivia Amos Children’s Hospital stops for a moment to interact with this impressive and engaging feature."
Heidi Harris, Facilities Management Project Manager
