VMcast Healthcare TV now available on Amazon Signage Stick

We are excited to announce that VMcast is now available on the Amazon Signage Stick.

The Signage Stick is designed to make professional signage simple and cost-effective — giving medical practices, hospitals, and healthcare organizations an easier, more reliable way to educate patients and communicate practice information right from their waiting and exam room displays.

Set up in minutes

The Amazon Signage Stick plugs directly into any display and VMcast does the rest. No complicated hardware. Just professional, patient-facing broadcasts that work the way your practice does.

Unlike consumer streaming devices, the Amazon Signage Stick is purpose-built for professional digital signage deployments, delivering simplified setup, seamless integration with VMcast, improved performance, and enhanced security right out of the box.

Content your patients actually want to watch

VMcast gives practices instant access to more than 2,500 medically-accurate patient education videos through the ViewMedica® Patient Education Video Library — one of the most trusted collections of medical content in healthcare.

Mix in your own videos, YouTube content, custom slides, announcements, and practice messaging to create specialty-specific, ad-free broadcasts that inform, engage, and reflect your practice.

“Healthcare waiting rooms and exam rooms are valuable communication environments,” said Don Wittekind, CEO of Swarm Interactive. “By combining VMcast Healthcare TV with the Amazon Signage Stick, healthcare providers can deploy a professional digital signage system that helps educate patients while promoting services and improving the overall waiting room experience.”

Your waiting and exam rooms become more than places to wait. They become a meaningful part of the patient experience.

VMcast 4 — Built to stay on even when the internet isn’t

We’ve also released a major improvement in reliability for VMcast. With VMcast 4, video content is now cached locally on the Amazon Signage Stick, so your displays keep running smoothly even during internet outages. When connectivity returns, everything syncs back up automatically — no manual intervention needed.

“With VMcast 4 and the Amazon Signage Stick, practices can deploy a signage system designed to operate reliably with minimal maintenance,” Wittekind adds.

We will continue to support existing consumer Fire TV Stick installations. For new installations or current healthcare organizations ready to upgrade, the Amazon Signage Stick is now our recommended hardware option. It’s purpose-built to simplify digital signage and enhance performance and reliability your practice can count on.

Ready to get started?

VMcast is trusted by thousands of healthcare organizations across the country because it delivers real value without the complexity or cost of traditional signage systems.

Whether you’re a single-provider practice or a multi-location health system, VMcast and the Amazon Signage Stick give you an affordable, professional and scalable solution that just works.
