Royal Philips, the parent company of Philips Healthcare, has added a new preparation and recovery bay to its Ambient Experience portfolio in the U.S.
The new product integrates dynamic lighting into the side walls of hospital preparation and recovery bays to allow for personalization of the environment.
Patients can choose from an array of ambience settings for distraction and relaxation to reduce preoperative stress and improve postoperative recovery, according to the company. Hospital staff members also have the option to illuminate the area with task lighting when required for medical procedures or when preparing the bay for future patients.
Philips said the preparation and recovery bay will be rolled out to other markets in 2019.
