Hospital wards are often noisy, even overnight, which can slow patient recovery. In the UK, the Silent Hospital Pilot Project—a collaboration between the NHS and DNV Imatis—is testing an innovative system on an antenatal ward. This system replaces traditional patient call bells with alerts sent directly to nurses’ and midwives’ mobile phones.
The results include better-rested mothers and newborns, quicker recovery times, and improved patient care efficiency.
