The Virtual Assistant, developed by Tensator, is installed at the hospital’s new £2.7m reception area and will present details of specific services operated at particular times and directions for visitors during visiting hours.
RJAH chief executive Wendy Farrington Chadd said the Tensator Virtual Assistant is a novel way to improve messaging and communication to patients, assisting their access to the hospital.
"It is an innovative way to convey key messages and it complements our reception team, signage and way-finding as part of the whole new development," Chadd added.
With the new technology, the hospital can improve patient flow, speed up the check-in process and guide patients through appointment check-in with information on the usage of self check-in kiosks.
