Smart Film for Patient Room Privacy
Opaque Smart Glass installed switchable smart film on glass in 19 patient rooms at Memorial Sloan Kettering, creating an instant privacy solution designed for a modern healthcare environment.
With the flip of a switch, the glass transitions from clear to frosted. In its clear state, the glass maintains an open environment and allows visibility when appropriate. When privacy is needed, the smart film turns opaque instantly, giving patients greater privacy without relying on traditional curtains or blinds.
A Practical Solution for Healthcare Environments
Patient rooms require a balance between privacy, visibility, cleanliness, and efficient use of space. Smart film allows existing glass to serve multiple purposes without permanently blocking light or creating a closed-off environment.
For healthcare facilities, switchable smart film can be particularly useful on patient-room glass, interior partitions, doors, treatment areas, and other spaces where privacy requirements can change throughout the day.
Because the privacy function is integrated directly onto the glass, there are no blinds to raise or lower and no additional window coverings required to change the level of privacy.
Smart Film Installed Across 19 Patient Rooms
This project demonstrates how smart film can be deployed consistently across a larger healthcare installation. A total of 19 patient rooms were equipped with Opaque Smart Film, allowing each room to transition between clear and private glass on demand.
Opaque Smart Glass provides professional smart glass and smart film installation for healthcare facilities and other commercial projects nationwide.
