Waiting room entertainment that plays instantly, with no bandwidth.
vablet stores every video, presentation, and PDF on each tablet and screen in your practice. Patients tap and it plays right away, with no buffering and no load on your guest Wi-Fi. Marketing can see what patients actually watch.
1 minute 34 seconds. Every tablet holds the full library for instant playback, with analytics so marketing can track usage.
Streaming in the waiting room doesn’t work well.
Streaming patient education over the clinic’s Wi-Fi means buffering, dropped videos, and staff fixing tablets instead of seeing patients. And once a video is playing, nobody can tell you whether anyone watched it.
With vablet, the whole library is already on every device, so playback is instant and every view is counted.
From your library to every chair.
1. Load your content
Patient education videos, procedure explainers, presentations, and PDFs, built by your team, your agency, or a sponsor.
2. Assign by location
Put the right library on the right devices: the waiting room, the chair side, the lobby, or a specific office.
3. Stored on every device
Content downloads ahead of time and plays from local storage. It keeps working when the Wi-Fi is slow or down.
4. Instant playback or autoplay
Patients tap and watch, with no buffering and no logins. Or set a lobby screen to autoplay unattended.
5. Locked down, no patient data
Kiosk-style: Guided Access keeps the iPad in vablet, and patients never log in or enter information.
6. Meaningful analytics
See which content was opened, on which device, and for how long. Update once and every device gets the new version.
Every place a patient waits.

Where vablet fits, and where it doesn’t.
Good fit: practices and sponsors who want approved, current content on every tablet and screen, playing instantly and measured.
Not the right tool: live TV or streaming entertainment services. vablet plays the content you load, not cable channels.
Related: offline presentations, validated content deployment, and pharma and medical device sales enablement.
Waiting room entertainment, answered.
Does waiting room content need Wi-Fi?
Only to download and sync. Playback runs from the device’s own storage, so it uses no bandwidth and keeps working if the connection drops.
Does vablet collect patient information?
No. vablet in the waiting room is a kiosk-style solution. Patients do not log in or enter anything, and no patient data is collected. Analytics record content usage on each device.
What devices does it run on?
iPad, Android tablets, and Windows devices, including a Windows PC driving a lobby TV or wall screen. Tablets can sit in a stand or be handed to the patient chair side.
Can content autoplay on a lobby screen?
Yes. vablet can autoplay content unattended, which suits a lobby TV, a waiting room wall screen, or a tradeshow booth.
Can the tablets be locked down?
Yes. On iPad, Guided Access locks the device to vablet so patients stay in the approved content library.
What analytics do we get?
Which content was opened, on which device, and for how long. Usage is collected offline and syncs when the device reconnects.
Can a pharma or device company sponsor the content?
Yes. Sponsors can deliver approved content to participating practices with approval windows and expiry dates, and see how it is used.
