Digital signage is playing a big role in healthcare facilities during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis and, to support that, Carousel Digital Signage is offering a free package to help facilities to communicate important messages in waiting areas, walkways and other public areas.

The offer extends to healthcare facilities and essential businesses in operation, such as grocery stores, pharmacies, take-out restaurants and manufacturing businesses with critical supply chains to manage.

The offer includes a three-month subscription of Carousel Cloud, a SaaS cloud-based CMS, along with ‘Frontline Responder’ templates to create and deliver emergency messages unique to each facility. They will also provide creative and technical support services, as well as specialised training..

Carousel Digital Signage chief executive JJ Parker says they want to help frontline organisations to provide accurate, up-to-date information and messaging without unneeded costs and technical concerns.

“As crowded hospitals, pop-up healthcare/ICU tents, test sites and other COVID-19 focused organisations interact with an influx of patients, family and community members, digital signage will make visitors feel welcomed, connected, and informed as they navigate their way through unfamiliar surroundings.”

Acknowledging that COVID-19 service providers have more important things to focus on, JJ says they designed training materials and set-up procedures to get from ‘zero to signage’ with the least amount of time commitment.

“Once Carousel is configured, facilities can add displays in the indoor and outdoor areas where they most need to communicate.”

Sign-up can be done on the Carousel Digital Signage website.
