Enhancing Healthcare Experiences with Our Interactive Matterport Tours
In today’s digital age, Ocean 3D are thrilled to see the profound impact our interactive Matterport tours are making within healthcare settings. Our cutting-edge technology is not only reshaping the way patients, visitors, and staff navigate healthcare facilities but also enhancing their overall experiences.
A recent revelation from our monthly Google maps update is truly remarkable: In addition to our full-function interactive tours that sit on our clients websites and our gallery pages we upload many, but by no means all, of our hundreds of clients 360° imagery to Google Maps*. Our clients 360° imagery, has now received over 4.2 million views on Google. And the location that has garnered the most views…?
The NHS RCHT hospital operating theatres, with almost half a million views and climbing.
This statistic underscores the incredible value our interactive Matterport tours bring to healthcare. Hospitals and healthcare facilities can be complex and overwhelming, especially for individuals in vulnerable states. However, our tours are serving as a beacon of hope by allowing people to familiarise themselves with the layout and facilities of the hospital before setting foot inside.
Revolutionising Accessibility and Familiarisation
For patients, our technology offers comfort and empowerment. Knowing what to expect regarding the hospital’s layout, the location of departments, and even the appearance of the operating room can significantly reduce anxiety. This can be especially vital for individuals with sensory sensitivities or neurodiverse conditions.
Moreover, family members and visitors are reaping the benefits. Navigating a hospital to visit a loved one can be a trying experience, but our interactive tours provide a clear and reliable visual guide. They ensure that visitors can focus on providing support rather than grappling with directions, thus enhancing the overall patient experience.
Supporting Healthcare Staff
Our tours aren’t solely for patients and visitors; their impact extends to healthcare professionals as well. Feedback from our clients in the education sector has shown that new staff members and existing staff relocating to new departments or facilities are using our tours to help them arrive on time, less-stressed, already knowing the layout of their new workplace and, often, not requiring an additional colleague to be taken off their busy work day too.
In the healthcare realm, time is of the essence, and punctuality is critical. Our interactive Matterport tours enable staff to become acquainted with the layout and equipment of their new workspace before their first day. This preparation significantly reduces stress and ensures that healthcare professionals can start their workdays composed and ready to provide top-notch care. Anecdotal feedback from Trust staff we have spoken with also indicates that medical and administration staff spend less time giving patients directions when they are often in a time-critical journey between departments themselves.
Conclusion
At Ocean 3D, we are immensely proud of the transformative role our interactive tours are playing within healthcare settings. ORCHA certified for use within the NHS, by enhancing accessibility, familiarisation, and wayfinding, we are improving the healthcare experience for patients, visitors, and staff alike. The 400,000 plus views of an operating theatre tour on Google Maps alone serve as a powerful testament to our technology’s value in healthcare to the generl public.
We are honored to provide reassurance to those who need it most and to assist healthcare professionals in delivering their crucial services with confidence. In a world where every improvement in healthcare matters, Ocean 3D’s innovation is making a meaningful and positive difference.
*After Ocean 3D upload our clients 360° imagery to Google maps, Google strips out all of the interactive functions we add in to our clients tours including silky smooth navigation. This enables our imagery to match the consistent Google imagery and navigation everyone can find on their phones.
