So it's really need to see how these are being deployed for a "hospital waiting room" user case, instead of the usual restaurant queue. Multiple sensory alert to summon you vs waiting exhaustively attentively and anxiously for your name. Which you can hopefully hear, regardless of your medial reason for being there in the first place or any distraction you might be using to relax. A+

@BirdMachine omg. In less than a second I went from 'wow great' to 'WHY HAVE THESE NOT ALREADY BEEN EVERYWHERE IN EVERY MEDICAL EVERYTHING'

@kelly I KNOW RIGHT?! It makes SO much sense after actually seeing it in action.

A friend on hellbird brought up another benefit: you can wait somewhere that's more peaceful and quiet. The waiting room here is /massive/ and has spaces sectioned off for families to wait together as such, and I think being able to use these pagers are what enabled them to build it like this. A huge win for patients and their families.
