Is patient information kept private?

The screens show only what you publish: general information, queue numbers and your own slides. CastWize does not connect to your patient records, and a queue number is just a number, with no name attached.

Can the waiting-room screen show the queue?

Yes. Queue management is built in: a take-a-number kiosk at reception, a call-next link for each room or counter, and the "now serving" number shown on the waiting-room screen.

No. Any TV with an HDMI input works with a small player such as an Android TV box, a Raspberry Pi or a spare PC running the free CastWize player. A practice usually starts with the waiting-room TV it already has.

How do we keep health messages consistent across several clinics?

Group screens by clinic and assign one playlist to the group. A policy change edited once appears in every waiting room. A single clinic with its own hours or services can have its own slides on top.

Can a non-technical receptionist manage it?

Yes. Changing a slide is upload, add to playlist, preview, publish, in the browser. Nobody has to touch the TV or the player.

What happens if the screen loses its connection?

It keeps playing from its cache, so the waiting room never goes blank. The dashboard shows it as offline, and you can get an alert by email, Slack or webhook.

What does it cost for a two-room practice?

One waiting-room screen plus one at reception is $10 a month, with every feature included and no contract. The first screen is free for 30 days, with no credit card required.

Solutions

Digital signage for dental and medical offices.

Waiting-room screens, wayfinding and patient information that stay current without anyone reprinting a sign.

What digital signage does for clinics

Different content by time of day

Morning intake instructions, a different message during a specific clinic's hours, closing-time reminders: scheduled once, not manually swapped.

Health & safety messaging that's actually current

Update guidance, insurance changes, or office policy from your phone. No reprinting a sign every time something changes.

Wayfinding across multiple rooms or floors

Point patients to the right waiting area or exam room with a layout you can update the moment a room assignment changes.

Know if a screen goes dark

Get an alert by email, Slack, or webhook if a waiting-room screen loses connection, instead of finding out from a patient.

Built for clinics of every kind

One screen or fifty, one site or many. The same account, layouts and schedules work for:

Dental practices
Family doctors and GP clinics
Orthodontists
Physiotherapy and chiropractic
Veterinary clinics
Optometrists
Dermatology and aesthetic clinics
Multi-site medical groups

What clinics actually put on screen

Waiting-room information: What to have ready, how long the wait is, what to do if you feel worse. The messages patients would otherwise ask the front desk.
Now-serving queue numbers: A take-a-number kiosk at reception and the live number on the waiting-room screen, with a call-next link for each room.
Services and treatments: Whitening, implants, check-up packages, vaccinations: the services patients don't know you offer, explained while they wait.
Health education: Short, calm slides on prevention and aftercare, rotated with a slow video loop so the room doesn't feel like a billboard.
Insurance and policy updates: Accepted insurers, cancellation policy, new opening hours. Edit once, and every waiting room shows the same text.
Wayfinding: Floor, wing and room directions at the entrance, updated when rooms change rather than when someone finds time to print.

A typical day, scheduled once

Schedule rules run by day of week and time of day. Set them once and the screens switch on their own; nobody touches a remote.

Opening – 10:00
Intake reminders and a "please check in at the desk" slide, with the morning queue number.
10:00 – 16:00
Services and health-education loop, the queue number, and the day's insurance notes.
16:00 – close
Aftercare and booking reminders, then tomorrow's opening hours after the last patient.

How it works

Pair the TV

Install the free CastWize player on an Android TV, a Windows, Mac or Linux computer, or a Raspberry Pi connected to the TV. It shows a pairing code; enter it in Studio and the screen is online.

Build the content

Upload images and video, or build a slide on the canvas with text, webpages, live streams and widgets. Multi-zone layouts put a menu, a promo and a ticker on one screen.

Schedule and forget

Add slides to playlists, set day and time rules, group screens by location. Preview, publish, and every screen on that playlist updates within seconds.

Runs on the TVs you already have

There is no CastWize box to buy. Any TV with an HDMI input works, driven by a player you probably already own:

Android TV or an Android box: the cheapest route for a wall-mounted TV; plugs into HDMI.
Raspberry Pi 4 or 5: small, silent, low power, fine for a menu board that runs all day.
Windows, macOS or Linux: an old laptop or mini PC behind the TV becomes a player.
Keeps playing offline: the player caches its content, so a Wi-Fi blip doesn't blank the screen.

Pricing for clinics

One flat plan: $5 per screen per month, every feature included, no tiers and no contract. Your first screen is free for 30 days with no credit card, which is enough time to build the real layout and let it run. Five screens come to $25 a month; see the pricing page for the calculator, or the pricing guide for what the hardware adds.
