Waiting room
Opening hours, information about the practice or department and temporary notices. Show something different outside opening hours.
More about waiting room displays →Information for patients, visitors and colleagues.
The waiting room shows when and where people can be seen, the entrance hall shows the way, and the staff room carries the organisation’s news. Lumicast lets you manage all of those displays from one place, whether you run a single practice or a hospital across several sites.

Since 2014 · 4,000+ connected displays
Maintained by the practice
Show people when and where to get help.
Show when the practice is open, how visitors can contact you and what changes during holidays.
How to set up a waiting room display →Every space needs different information.
A waiting room, an entrance hall and a staff room each need something else. For each one, read how to set up the display.
Entrance hall and corridors
A directory for each floor and arrows that are right for where the display hangs. For an open day, prepare a temporary route in advance.
More about digital wayfinding →Staff room
News that HR or communications post on SharePoint or in a Teams channel appears on the displays by itself, so colleagues who rarely sit at a computer see it too.
More about internal communications →Team room
Put figures from Power BI into your own design on a team’s display. Lumicast fetches them again every 5 minutes. Choose carefully what you show: anyone who can see the display can see the figures.
More about Power BI on a display →Restaurant and coffee corner
Today’s menu and the restaurant’s opening hours, with a board that changes by time of day.
More about digital menu boards →Care home
The activity programme, the weekly menu and residents’ birthdays, in large type with strong contrast.
More about digital signage in care homes →Share the work across sites and departments.
Start with one waiting room. When displays are added in other departments or at other sites, give them their own workspace and use Team to decide who can edit and publish what.
A workspace for each department or site
Each department or site manages its own displays. Content that applies to everyone, you share with every workspace.
An internal team announcement does not belong on the entrance display.
Review before publishing
With Team, colleagues prepare messages and you give publishing permissions to whoever is responsible.
Communications checks a message before it appears at every site.
Schedule temporary changes
Schedule a notice about different opening hours and set when it should stop.
Regular information resumes after the holidays.
Readable information in your own style.
Choose a clear layout with enough contrast. Templates cover topics such as hand hygiene, flu vaccinations, blood pressure checks and repeat prescriptions, as well as a directory for each floor. Adapt the information to your organisation and check the content before publishing.
Want help with the design? Tell Lumi, our AI designer, what you’d like to show. Edit the result and choose when to publish it. Lumi stays off until an owner turns it on, and owners and administrators can switch it off for the whole organisation. With Lumi off, nothing from your pages or prompts goes to Lumi’s AI providers.
Start with one display.
Try the layouts, scheduling and day-to-day management with your own content. If you manage one waiting room display on your own, Solo is enough. If colleagues, departments or sites join in, choose Team.
Use the screens you already have
Lumicast runs on supported Samsung smart TVs, professional LG displays and Android devices without a separate player. If your display cannot run it directly, connect a Pixie player through HDMI.

Compare plans →Practical questions.
Do we need to connect our patient system?
No. You can show information about the practice or department and your own messages without connecting a patient system. Want to bring in data automatically? Tell us which system you use, and we’ll discuss whether it can be connected.
Can we show queue numbers?
You can create a page showing a queue number, desk or room using a template. To update the numbers automatically from your patient call system, tell us which system you use so we can discuss a connection.
Can we display personal data?
You decide what you publish. Use general information on public displays and prevent medical or other confidential data from being visible to unauthorised people.
Can departments and sites work separately?
Yes. With Team you give each department or site its own workspace and colleagues an appropriate role. Content that applies to everyone, you share with every workspace.
Can staff sign in with their organisation account?
Yes, with single sign-on (SAML). It is part of Enterprise, an extension of Team with no minimum number of displays, which also gives you an audit log overview for the whole organisation.
Where is our data stored?
Lumicast runs on servers, storage and backups from Hetzner and DigitalOcean in Europe. For a few parts, such as email and Lumi, we use other suppliers, some of which may process data outside the EEA. They are listed in the data processing agreement. We do not hold an ISO certification.
What do I do if the display stays black?
Check that the display is on and the right input or app is selected. Lumicast shows whether it is online, and supported players can be restarted remotely. Using the built-in browser of a smart TV, such as a Samsung TV? Switch the TV off and on with the remote. If Lumicast doesn't come back by itself, open the browser and go to player.lumicast.com. Still having trouble? Create a ticket in Lumicast and tell us which device you use and what you see. Support is available on weekdays from 09:00 to 17:00. Outside those hours and at weekends we help where we can, but we can’t promise a response time.
