#  Akron Children’s Hospital Interactive Digital Signage 

Bringing the Doggie Brigade to Life

#### Challenge

Akron Children’s Hospital wanted to modernize how patients and families experience its Doggie Brigade.

The hospital needed an interactive solution that would make information about the therapy dogs fun and easy to explore while giving staff a simple way to manage profiles, photos, history, and other content.

#### Solution

**An Interactive Experience Built for Patients and Families**

ConnectedSign created a custom touchscreen experience designed around the Doggie Brigade program.

The solution includes:

- **Interactive Dog Directory**  
    Visitors can browse individual dogs, photos, biographies, and other information.
- **Doggie Brigade History**  
    Patients and families can learn more about the program and its history at Akron Children’s Hospital.
- **Digital Trading Cards**  
    Visitors can browse individual dog trading cards and navigate directly to each dog’s profile.
- **Kid-Friendly Interaction**  
    Children can engage with the experience by leaving emojis for their favorite dogs.
- **Easy Content Management**  
    Hospital staff can update dog profiles, photos, and program information through a centralized backend.

#### Results

Akron Children’s Hospital transformed a traditional informational display into an engaging interactive experience for patients and families.

The solution gives visitors a more memorable way to connect with the Doggie Brigade while giving hospital staff the flexibility to keep content current as dogs, photos, and program information change.

ConnectedSign continues to work with Akron Children’s Hospital to refine the experience, introduce new functionality, and support the program as it evolves.

**More Than an Interactive Directory**

Interactive digital signage can do much more than provide directions or display information.

ConnectedSign can combine custom interfaces, content, databases, integrations, and touchscreen experiences to create applications designed around your organization, audience, and goals.
