Technology business, Omnie AI has launched Omnie Box, an easy-to-use AI system designed to provide clear directions and essential information to patients and hospital visitors. By reducing stress, increasing efficiency, and minimizing missed appointments, Omnie Box aims to transform the hospital experience for both patients and staff.
Omnie Box uses advanced AI to create an accessible, user-friendly experience for all hospital visitors. With the press of a button, users can ask questions or request directions in any language, receiving immediate, natural-language responses in a human-like voice. This intuitive interaction reassures patients, helping them feel confident and informed as they navigate hospital and healthcare environments.
Navigating large hospitals can be challenging. NHS facilities, for example, often house over 5,000 staff members, many of whom work within specific departments and may not be familiar with the overall hospital layout. Junior doctors on rotation and locum staff covering temporary shortages face added complexities when locating wards or departments. Additionally, hospital signage may contain medical jargon or outdated information, adding to the confusion.
With Omnie Box, hospitals can simplify these challenges. The device is easily programmable with straightforward language and can be updated instantly to reflect any changes in the hospital layout. Omnie Box is designed to be accessible for all, including visually impaired users and those less familiar with technology, by responding to simple voice commands after the press of a button.
Missed outpatient appointments are a costly challenge for the NHS, with approximately 6.9 million appointments missed each year, each costing an estimated £108. Omnie Box assists by offering straightforward wayfinding guidance, helping patients arrive on time and reducing the likelihood of missed appointments. According to Intreface Managing Director Damian Edwards, “Omnie Box was developed to ensure patients can quickly and confidently locate hospital departments, reducing appointment delays and easing anxiety around hospital visits.”
Quick to set up, Omnie Box comes with a built-in rechargeable battery, which is ideal for short-term use. For longer deployments, a solar module is available for long-term maintenance-free use.
Omnie Box is a versatile device that can be used for a range of different applications which help to improve community engagement, provide meaningful visitor information and support public safety.
