Just some ideasBy starlizz for I-nspire

I would suggest creating a chatbox, where the patients can talk with other patients. Maybe something like msn, where people can also play games together online or share something they've seen on youtube. I think it's fun when you have the possibility to make friends, even when you can't come out of bed.

Another option, that is connected to the first one, is a helpbox, where people can ask question to someone who is sitting behind the computer all day to answer their questions. Maybe about their personal health, maybe about the posibillity of having some drink or food. They also should have the possibillity to ask for a person to come to their room, if they need help with, for example, going to the toilet.

Another idea is giving the patients something nice to watch. Something that doesn't remind them of being sick and (maybe) alone. Something they enjoy. This is the idea: let the patient fill in their interests. like maybe painting, fishing...something they like to do themselves, or that reminds them of things they used to do during fun times. When they say they like fishing, they can choose from some different TV programmes or movies that are connected to that subject. In this way, every patient will find something he/she likes to watch in a very easy way!

I hope you are inspired and I hope this will enable you to improve the stay of the patients. Good luck!
