Benefits of technology

The solution enhances patient comfort and tolerance during procedures by providing unobstructed viewing and audio entertainment, improving the overall experience and allowing for effective communication between patients and healthcare providers.

Problems solved by technology

Even routine healthcare services such as oral hygiene procedures can provide a less than optimal patient experience.
Patients are typically at least bored while receiving such care.
The view of these monitors and televisions provided to the patient, however, is less than optimal, as many dental procedures require the patient to be fully reclined in the dental chair.
Headphones also inhibit effective communication between the patient and provider of the healthcare service during the procedure.
Virtual reality goggles may be similarly obstructive and are not comfortable to some patients who experience claustrophobia.

Abstract

An electronic display assembly for viewing by a person in a resting position includes a first arm rotatable about a swivel axis, a second arm coupled to the first arm that is pivotable about a pivot axis orthogonal to the swivel axis, and an electronic display coupled to the second arm. The display is adjustably positionable both about the swivel axis and about the pivot axis. The assembly further includes an apparatus for receiving a person in a resting position, with the electronic display being suspended above the apparatus. The electronic display is adjustably positionable about the swivel axis generally independent of its positioning about the pivot axis, and the electronic display is adjustably positionable about the pivot axis generally independent of its positioning about the swivel axis.
