Activity

In the consulting room communication is central. The patient and the medical staff need to listen and understand each other, and also feel relaxed and secure.

Various kinds of equipment may be used in the room, but verbal communication is in focus. Time can also be a critical factor, so the interaction between patient and staff must be as efficient as possible and still maintain a high quality.  

Room acoustics

Ensure confidentiality  

Consultations need to be performed in quiet surroundings and support the feeling of privacy. The amount of absorbing material is key to lower the sound level and the ceiling is most fit for absorption.  

Optimise communication  

To provide the best conditions possible for communication between doctor and patient wall panels are ideally placed closest to where the conversation takes place.
