Waiting Room Display
Digital queue display for patient waiting room with real-time updates
Overview
The Waiting Room Display is a full-screen digital queue board (QueueBoard component) designed to be shown on a TV or monitor in your clinic's waiting area. It shows patients their position in the queue, which doctor they are assigned to, and the current patient being served. The display updates in real-time as patients are called in, reducing reception desk inquiries and improving the patient experience.

- Connect a display device — Use any TV, monitor, or tablet with a web browser. Open the URL and switch to full-screen mode (F11).

- Display language — Arabic, English, or bilingual

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the display require a special device?
No. Any device with a modern web browser works: Smart TV, tablet, Chromecast with a browser, or a dedicated mini-PC. We recommend a screen size of at least 32 inches for visibility.
Can patients see estimated wait times?
The display shows queue position. Estimated wait time is calculated by multiplying position by average slot duration and shown optionally.
How do I call the next patient?
From the reception view (Appointments > Queue), click "Call Next". The display immediately updates to show the called patient's name/number in a highlighted card, optionally with an audible chime.
