IBA Group (Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium) has partnered with Philips to create an attractive new patient experience for their proton therapy system. Upon entering the facility patients choose the music, visuals, and lighting they prefer via a tablet. This is built on the foundations of the Philips Ambient Experience, a set of principles and design ideas that aim to turn diagnostic imaging and therapy sessions into a less anxiety inducing experience.
The first such system is being installed at the Willis-Knighton Cancer Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.
