ComQi and Aceso™ are providing Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, a global leader in rehabilitative medicine, with turn-key digital media solutions.
Combining the strengths of ComQi's EnGage™ Content Management System and the local messaging capabilities of OnSite Manager™, Aceso has delivered a cloud based digital media solution for a full range of creative options.
The Spaulding digital network utilizes the technology to transform the hospital experience into an inspirational and uplifting environment for its patients, friends, family and healthcare personnel. The 1×6 video wall in the lobby of the facility acts as a digital signage canvas displaying encouraging visuals. A determined rower is seen steering down the scenic Charles River in Boston filling visitors with emotional strength as they embark on their rehab program. The network content includes motivational videos and images, patient testimonials, stories of strength and local messaging with entertaining video features, news and weather as well as informative facility information. The dramatic videos and branding templates were developed in a collaborative approach between ComQi, Aceso, Spaulding and their agency of record FORGE Worldwide of Boston.
"Our ability to integrate the digital media system seamlessly into our new facility was truly a unique opportunity to improve our environment of care while also setting a new standard for our peers nationwide," said John Campbell, CIO, Spaulding Rehabilitation Network. "For our staff, patients and their families the system has allowed us to push and create impactful messaging from the moment you step into our building all the way to the bed side."
