apn® acoustic solutions for the healthcare sector

Heal in peace


Good acoustics in healthcare environments promote recovery and minimize stress for patients and staff. This has been shown many times by scientific studies on acoustics in healthcare. Hospitals, practice rooms, clinics and retirement homes therefore require special soundproofing and acoustic solutions that reduce daily noise levels and guarantee a high level of discretion.

The particular challenge here is to comply with hygienic standards and to install an acoustic solution that makes compliance with these standards as easy as possible. This should not interfere with the daily routine of the clinic, on the contrary: to significantly support and facilitate the challenging work of the medical staff is our mission.

Cafeteria / Canteen

Poor acoustics in cafeterias and canteens are often noticed by the increased volume, which is always encouraged by the participants in the conversation. To avoid the so-called Lombard effect, it is important to minimize background noise and optimize speech intelligibility and audibility. Therefore, for these areas, there is a requirement for room acoustics that should not be underestimated.

Patient room

Due to the minimalist design of a patient’s room, they should be equipped with sound-absorbing surfaces on the ceiling and walls. To reduce acoustic exposure to other patients, shielding elements should also be considered in shared rooms. They provide more privacy and reduce reflected and direct sound.

Treatment room

Speech intelligibility and the guarantee of privacy are essential components of room acoustic solutions in treatment rooms. For this purpose, wall and ceiling surfaces must be covered with absorbent elements and, if necessary, additional shielding elements must be used.

Laboratory

In laboratories, you are surrounded by many alarms and the constant hum and beep of technical equipment. These mix with the general noise level to form a disturbing background noise that has a strong impact on the well-being of the staff. It is therefore important to reduce disturbing background noise, shorten the reverberation time and absorb unwanted sound reflections.
