1. Tell us a little bit about yourself and the institution.

My name is João Carlos Mota. I am a Doctor, a Cardiac Surgeon and I am the Clinical Director of the Casa de Saúde da Boavista.

The Casa de Saúde da Boavista is an institution with 90 years located in the city of Porto. It was created specifically as a hospital and has maintained this activity all these years.

2. What was the need for Casa de Saúde da Boavista? What solution were you looking for?

From the point of view of the communication, the Casa de Saúde da Boavista, until a while ago, used very traditional methods and did not communicate. We needed to do something very important. It was necessary to show who we are, what we offered and what was best "inside doors" before going outside.

So we began to ask how we could communicate to employees and also to people who visit us, both as patients and as companions.

3. What solution was found?

At this time we have about 100 different clips exposed in different places. We have more than one display. In the urgencies we have a type of clip, in the external consultation we have another type of clip.

We achieved, through a very versatile tool, to communicate what we want, when we want and the way we want.

4. What was PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS' contribution to this innovative project?

PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS was, and still is, a good partner in this process. When we started, we had no idea of what we wanted, there were a lot of details that seemed obvious but it had to be solved. And that’s where PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS was excellent.

Durability, strength, with sound, without sound, technical details, thickness, location, were some of the issues we were struggling with, and in this regard PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS has always been a very interesting and very cooperative partner.

PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS gave us the initial ideas and, above all, enabled us to improve ourselves as we were better acquainted with what our needs were.
