What patients say about HappyMed
.avif)
"I was terribly afraid, especially because the surgery was delayed. My thoughts kept circling around the surgery, but with the HappyMed Video Glasses I became calmer and the fear was gone."
.avif)
"I was completely distracted from the surgery, and you don't hear the sounds of the doctors and the instruments as much. And you're simply more relaxed and calmer."
Erfahrungsberichte
Chefärzte, Ärztliche Direktoren & Vorstände über HappyMed
Patients who use the glasses have a balanced breathing rate, lower blood pressure, and a slower heartbeat.
"You are simply more relaxed and that has a positive effect on the course of the operation. Another positive effect: less medication is required and that also reduces the side effects after the operation. The glasses are also used at the request of the patient when they wake up after a general anesthetic in the recovery room from the operating room, because here too the use of video glasses helps the patient to recover."
With this product, patients can experience their treatment in a more relaxed, distracted and stress-free manner.
"For many patients, the thought of medical treatment is enough to trigger anxiety and stress. The loss of control means that they focus even more on their surroundings and react over-sensitively to a wide variety of sensory impressions, such as the beeping of the machines. There is an increased release of cortisol, which increases blood pressure and accelerates pulse and breathing. With this product, patients can experience their treatment in a more relaxed, distracted and stress-free manner."
Children are less stressful and hardly need any medication to calm them down.
"I am enthusiastic about the positive effect on our little patients. The children who watch a film on the way to the operating theater are much less stressful and hardly need any medication to calm them down. "
Makes work easier for both doctors and anesthesiologists.
The HappyMed video glasses distract the patient from unpleasant sensations, stimulate the brain with positive impressions and relaxation occurs. Scary sensory impressions are faded out and the patients concentrate so much on the video content that pinpricks or even unpleasant touches can be below the negative limit of perception. This fact makes work easier for both doctors and anesthetists. "
Nine out of ten patients later tell us that they would use them again.
"Many find the glasses very pleasant. They tell us that the glasses can distract them very well. It is probably the case that the brain is very busy with visual and acoustic stimuli - although you can also hear the" trappings " Patients are also approachable, but they are calmer. And nine out of ten tell us later that they would use them again. "
Among other things, we can reduce sedation measures and savings are made.
"We use HappyMed to 90% in the area of regional anesthesia and that in almost all variants (spinal, plexus, etc.). We use the glasses every day for about 5 hours. The patients react very positively to the video glasses. With older patients we need a little more time to explain, but the video glasses are generally well received by younger and older patients. I see the greatest advantage in the great calming down of patients: excited patients benefit from the extensive shielding from ambient noise and the good distraction caused by the films. This enables us to reduce sedation measures, among other things, and savings are made here. In any case, I would recommend HappyMed to my colleagues in anesthesia. "
We support the patient in getting through his operation without fear, without having to resort to sedatives.
"Many of our patients do not want to know exactly what is going on during the operation. However, once the fear spreads, in the past we had no choice but to give a sedative. The video system offers patients not only distraction, but also entertainment. In this way, we support the patient in getting through his operation without fear, without having to resort to sedatives. The first experiences show that our patients like to take advantage of the offer. After the procedure, we record their impressions and opinions using a questionnaire. The feedback so far has been very positive. "
The waiting times are perceived to be shorter, which means that preoperative anxiety can be better controlled.
"The HappyMed glasses caused enthusiasm among the patients, the anesthesiologists and nurses as well as the operative partners. Interventions in local anesthesia or intravenous sedation simply run more smoothly. The waiting times are shorter, which means that preoperative anxiety can be better controlled. In children, a venous access can usually be made more easily with glasses. Children who have to undergo surgery at regular intervals asked in advance whether the glasses are free. "
Our patients are absolutely thrilled!
"We especially offer the glasses to patients who want to distract themselves under a partial anesthetic or who are very excited before the operation. Immersed in the world of vision and sound, they quickly forget that a medical procedure is imminent or that they are currently in the operating room. In addition, the glasses often make it possible to dispense with additional tranquilizers. During an operation under regional anesthesia, many patients fear the unfamiliar surroundings or the noises during the operation. You feel stressed. The HappyMed video system offers the patient optimal visual and acoustic distraction during the operation, optionally with documentaries, Hollywood or children's films. This enables us to enormously reduce the stress level during an operation under regional anesthesia. Our experience shows that our patients come more relaxed and mostly without fear through an operation under regional anesthesia instead of general anesthesia, without having to use other sedatives. "
Our anesthesia team is completely convinced of the benefits of these glasses, and we would recommend them without hesitation!
"We have been using your video goggles regularly for about 6 months now. We frequently use them for patients undergoing regional anesthesia who are awake during their surgery. The goggles are a great support in ensuring these patients are not disturbed or anxious, but instead distracted and relaxed. In the hectic day-to-day life of a clinic, there unfortunately isn't always time to stay with an awake patient to reassure them or simply provide support. In these situations, the video goggles are also a huge help. They are lightweight and intuitive to use. The selection of films is extensive, and cleaning them and ensuring the necessary hygiene standards for patient use is simple. Our anesthesia team is absolutely convinced of the benefits of these goggles, and we would recommend them without hesitation."
We have been able to reduce the amount of sleeping pills and sedatives by 50 to 70 percent.
“So far, patients who are afraid of an operation have simply been reassured with medication. However, we have thought about how we can reduce the amount of sleeping pills and sedatives for the benefit of those affected. It is well known that 80 percent of the sensory perception takes place through the eyes and ears. Watching a film during the operation is, so to speak, the optimal distraction. Thanks to their use, we have been able to demonstrably reduce the amount of sleeping pills and sedatives by 50 to 70 percent. The enormous advantage here is that patients have to stay much shorter in the labor-intensive recovery room. If patients need about two to three hours of monitoring after an operation with general anesthesia, the viewers can be brought to the ward with local anesthesia after a good quarter of an hour, as soon as it has been clarified that they are not in pain. This also brings great relief in terms of personnel deployment. The use of glasses is particularly suitable for older patients or people with the onset of dementia, who are considerably more stressful than younger people with medication, and are now in great demand. Avoiding fear and stress during the operation also promotes the healing process. The feedback from patients who have already tried the video glasses has been extremely positive. Those who came back for surgery later ask for it again.

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." But they 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."
We are totally satisfied. The staff has completely accepted the system.
"And the patients are incredibly happy about it. They are really well distracted, they are completely relaxed."
Finally, a digital answer to what medication alone cannot solve.
“HappyMed provides a digital solution to a problem that we doctors have so far been able to address, at best, with medication and reassuring words.”
Psychosomatic care meets innovative audiovisual technology.
“Taking psychosomatic mechanisms into account when treating anxious patients is essential, particularly in dentistry. As a complete audiovisual solution, HappyMed offers a system that is well worth recommending.”
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. "
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. "
Oncology patients can forget the here and now for a while.
“Alongside the medical side of oncological treatment, we also have to think about our patients’ emotional needs. There are many ways to do this, such as listening to music, watching films, reading books and much more. What is interesting here is HappyMed’s idea of combining several of these elements and transporting patients into a world that helps them forget the here and now for a while.”
Greater patient comfort and treatment safety at the Heart and Vascular Centre.
“I am convinced that the video glasses can be of particular benefit to us at our interdisciplinary Heart and Vascular Centre (HGZ). Working closely with colleagues from a wide range of specialties, we are constantly striving to improve patient comfort and treatment safety. We are therefore delighted that, by using the video glasses, we can make both treatment and the hospital stay considerably more pleasant for patients at Sana Kliniken Lübeck.”
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."
We were amazed at the immediate positive effects, as well as at the acceptance in the clinics, by employees and patients.
"For us, patient wellbeing comes first, and we are happy to use innovative technologies to achieve it. We were amazed by the immediate positive effects: patients breathe more calmly, their heart beats more slowly, their perception of pain decreases, and with it the need for sedatives. The acceptance rate for regional anesthesia rises, phobias of doctors and hospitals can be positively influenced, and overall the video glasses lead to significantly higher patient satisfaction."
Less medication, faster recovery
“The less medication the body needs from outside, the better it is for the organism. We know that older people sometimes react paradoxically or much stronger to medication and take longer to get back on their feet afterwards. The video glasses are a great way to reduce the use of medication here.”
Regional anaesthesia without sedatives
“With the video glasses, additional sedatives can often be avoided while still dramatically reducing stress levels during surgery under regional anaesthesia. Our experience shows that our patients get through surgery under regional rather than general anaesthesia more relaxed and mostly free of anxiety, without the need for further sedatives.”
A lasting positive impact on the postoperative period
“In our practical use of the HappyMed video glasses, we are pleased to see more relaxed patients, and in many cases we have even been able to reduce sedative medication. That is a good outcome, with a lasting positive impact on the postoperative period.”
From toy to standard practice
“At first, HappyMed was dismissed here as a technical toy. Now, all patients who require pharmacological sedation are first treated with HappyMed. We have learned that audiovisual decoupling with HappyMed is more comfortable for patients and free of side effects. As a result, our team in both the operating theatre and the recovery room is noticeably relieved of workload.”
Alternative to Pharmacological Sedation
"Our clinical experience shows that our patients feel significantly less nervous and anxious once they put on the video glasses. The treatment is also perceived as shorter and more pleasant. A key advantage is that the video glasses offer an alternative to administering sedative medication."
More Relaxed Vital Signs, Less Medication
"Our clinical experience shows that our patients feel significantly less nervous and anxious once they put on the video glasses. The treatment is also perceived as shorter and more pleasant. A key advantage is that the video glasses offer an alternative to administering sedative medication."
More Relaxed Vital Signs, Less Medication
"The HappyMed video glasses help us very well with preventing postoperative delirium. We need less sedation, and in some cases we can even replace it completely with the video glasses. Patient acceptance is very good."
Less Sedation, Shorter Stays
"Thanks to the HappyMed video glasses, patient acceptance of regional anaesthesia procedures is increasing. In almost all cases, additional sedation can be avoided entirely. This makes their use an effective measure for reducing postoperative cognitive deficits associated with prolonged hospital stays."
