Thalamus is a the ultimate patient education solution.
It’s a cross-platform app for computer desktops, TVs, and both iOS and Android tablets. It provides patient education functionality for doctors, from the waiting room to the operatory room, to the patient’s home.
Thalamus consists of four components: Chairside Education, Waiting Room TV, Operatory Room TV, and Website Education. These four components work together to give you the tools you need to increase case acceptance, revenue, and patient satisfaction.
Thalamus is as hands on as you want it to be. From the minute you are set up (only needs to be done once), you will have access to pre-made playlists and channels that you can use. However you are also given the tools to customize your Thalamus experience, creating your own playlists, channels, captions, and more.
Thalamus is designed with simplicity in mind. Videos are categorized by specialization, and our customization options are thorough, yet intuitive.
Studies show that when patients are informed and can visualize their treatment options, they are more likely to proceed with the treatment plans recommended by their dentist. Thalamus’ short, educational videos can be the difference between whether or not a patient decides to move forward with treatment.
The Thalamus windows app is critical for the setup and customization of Thalamus’ components. The Google TV and tablet apps were primarily used to be patient-facing, and are intended to show content, rather than edit.
A free Chromecast with Google TV is included with your Thalamus subscription.
Chromecast with Google TV is a device for your TV that lets you download content and apps. Chromecast with Google TV is compatible with any TV that has an HDMI port (Any tv from the last 10 years).
