EXPERIENCE REPORTS
Chief physicians, medical directors & board members via HappyMed
We were amazed at the immediate positive effects, as well as at the acceptance in the clinics, by employees and patients.
"For us, the patient's well-being comes first - and for this we also like to use innovative and convincing technologies". We were amazed at the immediate positive effects, as well as at the acceptance in the clinics, by employees and patients. Patients breathe more slowly with glasses, their heart beats more calmly, the individual pain sensation decreases and so fewer medicinal sedatives are needed. Overall, the acceptance rate of gentle regional anesthesia instead of general anesthesia is increasing. Doctor and hospital phobias can also be positively influenced in this way. Ultimately, the use of video glasses leads to higher patient satisfaction, as the manufacturer has established. "
In practical application, we look forward to more relaxed patients.
"I remembered the HappyMed video glasses from a visit to the Capital Anesthesia Congress last year. I was immediately convinced of the benefits of audiovisual distraction for patients before, during, or after surgery. Since the beginning of the year we have successfully used 3 HappyMed video glasses at our clinic. In practical use, we are happy about more relaxed patients, in many cases we were even able to save sedative medication. That is a good outcome, with a lasting positive effect on the postoperative phase. "
More patient comfort and treatment safety in the cardiovascular center.
"I am convinced that we can benefit from video glasses especially in the interdisciplinary heart and vascular center (HGZ). In close professional cooperation with my colleagues from various specialist areas, we are constantly working to improve patient comfort and treatment safety. We are therefore very pleased that we can make the treatment and hospital stay in the Sana Kliniken Lübeck much more pleasant for patients by using the video glasses. "
Oncological patients can forget the here and now for a while.
"In addition to the medical component in oncological treatment, we also have to think about the emotional world of our patients. There are many ways to do this, such as listening to music, watching films, reading books and much more. The idea of HappyMed, several of these, is interesting To connect components and to transport patients into a world that helps them to forget the here and now for a while. "
Less use of sedatives / anesthetics and faster regeneration after the operation!
“The top priority is to relieve our patients of fear and discomfort before a medical procedure. The Happymed video glasses support our individual patient treatment, lead to fewer sedatives / anesthetics and faster regeneration after the operation. "
Thanks to the HappyMed video glasses, patient acceptance of regional anesthesia procedures is also increasing.
Almost without exception, additional sedation can be completely dispensed with. Their use is therefore an effective measure to reduce postoperative cognitive deficit states with extended hospital stays - especially in older patients. HappyMed is therefore a win-win for both patient and hospital. "
"The inclusion of psychosomatic mechanisms in the treatment of anxious patients is particularly important in dentistry. HappyMed offers a recommended system as a complete solution in the field of audiovision."
"HappyMed provides a digital solution to a problem that we doctors have only been able to deal with with pharmaceuticals and good words."
We are totally satisfied. The employees have completely accepted the system.
And the patients are incredibly happy about it. They are really well distracted, they are completely relaxed. "
Audiovisual support during partial anesthesia, a great new opportunity!
"The problem with patients is often that they are afraid of this partial anesthetic because they do not want to hear anything about the operation, because they are afraid that the anesthesia will not work properly and say:" I want general anesthesia. " do not know about the risks of general anesthesia. This means that this method of audiovisual care for the patient during partial anesthesia is a great new opportunity. "

FAQ
Do you have another question?
The program offers either entertainment or relaxation for all ages – for children as well as for seniors. Patients can choose among feature films, comedies, documentaries, nature relaxation, classical concerts, and children’s series.
According to a survey in several clinics of a German chain of clinics (n = 110), 92% of the patients would use HappyMed again. The medical staff enjoy working with HappyMed in more than 80% of the cases. In 45% of the interventions, HappyMed can save on sedatives, painkillers or anesthetics. In 73% of these cases, medication could even be completely dispensed with.
Virtual reality glasses are very popular in the entertainment industry, but have some disadvantages in medical use in the OR. When wearing the virtual reality glasses, the patient should be able to move and turn his head; this is the only way to perceive the full environment. In the operating room, however, it does not make sense for patients to move their head back and forth. It has also been found that virtual reality glasses can cause dizziness in some patients. Another disadvantage is the focus on the visual level. Patients are only distracted spatially and not acoustically. So you can perceive the surrounding noises and that in turn makes the calming effect more difficult. For these reasons, we at HappyMed use classic video glasses with headphones.
In the case of children, it is particularly useful to use it in the pre-operartive room. So you come to the operating room relaxed and only see the transfer from the bed to the operating table before the medical and film programs continue.
The video glasses are exclusively rented. The monthly subscription cost is just €199. That includes the complete system and the film licenses.
Device purchase is unfortunately not possible. The background to this is the ongoing license fees for the commercial use of the films and the management of the associated contracts, which means that HappyMed takes over the full curation of the content, including the management of the rights of use. Hospitals are thus comprehensively protected by law. The contents are also regularly updated and expanded. In addition to the medical advantages of calmer patients, there are also positive economic effects for the hospital. The audiovisual distraction saves drugs. Above all, it relieves the nursing staff in preparation for the operation and in the recovery room.
Medical interventions are associated with stress and anxiety . Some patients require higher doses of sedatives and / or analgesics for this reason. Frightened patients also opt for general anesthesia more often , even if, for example, the upcoming procedure would also be possible under regional anesthesia. The sequelae of higher drug doses etc. include the occurrence of postoperative delirium, a longer period of time before extubation or a longer stay in the recovery room. Taken as a whole, this results in an increased amount of care on the part of the anesthetists and nursing staff.
Examples with cost estimates:
- Patients who develop postoperative delirium have to stay an average of 4.2 days longer in the hospital and thus consume additional resources worth around € 1,200.
- Patients who were additionally pharmaceutically sedated before the regional anesthesia must be monitored in the recovery room for 2 hours after the operation. If you rate an hour in the recovery room with costs of approx. 600 €, this results in additional costs of 1,200 € for this one patient.
With the HappyMed video glasses there is a potential for savings through more regional anesthesiainstead of general anesthesia, through less pharmaceutical sedation, through a shorter time to extubation, through a shorter time in the recovery room, through a reduced risk of postoperative delirium and through the relief of the anesthesia and / or nursing staff.
In June 2021, for example, in the anesthesia department in the Schrobenhausen district hospital, the effect of HappyMed video glasses was examined on 88 patients over a period of 5 months . The evaluation not only dealt with the effect of audiovisual sedation on patients, but also included process-oriented topics such as the assessment of economic factors.
It was found here that the patient’s level of anxiety is significantly reduced through the use of glasses and that sedatives could be partially or completely reduced in over 80% of the interventions, according to the assessment of the treatment team.
