TESS: Redefining Patient Entertainment and Connection at the Bedside

In today’s hospitals and care homes, comfort and connection are as vital to healing as medicine itself. TESS (Therapeutic Engagement and Support System) is designed to bring that connection to life — an Android-powered smart TV system built for the modern healthcare environment. Combining entertainment, communication, and wellbeing tools, TESS transforms every bedside into a hub of engagement and interaction.

From Passive Viewing to Interactive Connection

Traditional hospital televisions offer limited channels and little flexibility. TESS changes that by giving patients access to an entire digital world — live TV, radio, streaming apps, games, and communication tools — all through a simple, intuitive interface.

Built on the Android platform, TESS can be fully customized to meet each hospital or care home’s needs, providing not just entertainment, but a pathway for communication and engagement.

“TESS empowers patients to stay connected, entertained, and engaged — bringing warmth and familiarity to every hospital bedspace.”

A Digital Lifeline for Patients and Families

Hospital stays can be isolating. With TESS, families can stay in touch directly and securely. Each patient is assigned a unique contact number at admission, allowing loved ones to make video calls straight to their bedside — no nurse phones, no delays, just human connection when it matters most.

• Instant Video Calling: Family members can call patients directly through a dedicated, secure number.
• Ease of Use: Simple touch controls and large, accessible interface for all age groups.
• Privacy First: Fully secure, with call permissions controlled by staff and patient preferences.

Entertainment Meets Wellbeing

Beyond television, TESS offers patients access to radio, music, podcasts, and interactive games — including cognitive exercises and wellbeing apps that support mental health and recovery. By transforming idle time into moments of engagement, TESS contributes to improved mood, reduced boredom, and a more positive care experience.

• Access to all major TV and radio channels
• Games and mental stimulation activities to prevent boredom
• Customizable app library for wellbeing, relaxation, and education

“Patients aren’t just healing bodies — they’re human beings with emotional needs. TESS helps meet those needs through joy, play, and connection.”

Built for Hospitals and Care Homes

TESS was designed to meet the specific needs of care environments — combining reliability, security, and flexibility. The system can be wall-mounted at each bedside, integrating seamlessly with the existing infrastructure. Administrators can remotely manage channels, apps, and updates, while staff can easily control volume or access for individual patients.

• Centralized Management: Administrators can control access, content, and system settings remotely.
• Durable & Hygienic: Designed with medical-grade materials and easy-to-clean surfaces.
• Low Maintenance: Built for 24/7 operation with minimal technical intervention.

Promoting the Holistic Hospital Experience

For patients, comfort and familiarity can make all the difference. TESS brings the outside world into the care environment — helping patients feel less isolated, more informed, and more in control of their experience.

Whether it’s watching their favorite show, listening to music, or seeing a loved one’s face during recovery, TESS turns technology into an act of care — making every hospital stay more human.

“Technology doesn’t replace empathy — it enhances it. TESS proves that digital care can be both smart and deeply personal.”
