Healthcare · 4 Use Cases

Smart Film & Switchable Glass for Hospitals · Clinics · Labs

Healthcare, 4 use cases — VIP suites · exam/operating theatres · aesthetic clinics · Lab Clean Rooms ISO 14644 — medical-grade Smart Film (PDLC switchable film) + Tempered Laminated switchable Smart Glass · InHouse makes the clearest smart film on the market (Lucida™ Pure Clarity for OR + Lab) · Chulabhorn · Siriraj · BDMS · Samitivej · Bumrungrad · Chulabhorn Research · BIOTEC use it · HIPAA/PDPA · anti-bacterial · dedicated medical-grade crews · never outsourced

Pain Points

Common challenges for Hospitals · Clinics · Labs

Patient privacy · HIPAA/PDPA

Exam rooms · operating theatres · VIP suites need HIPAA-level privacy · PDPA compliance · dirty curtains fail clean-grade · a permanent frosted sticker doesn't flex to the workflow · you need privacy on demand at one button

Hospital curtains = a germ reservoir

The CDC + WHO note that hospital curtains accumulate MRSA · C. difficile · VRE · a hospital-acquired-infection risk · washed once a week · high cleaning cost · Smart Film is a smooth anti-bacterial surface · wipe it with alcohol · fit for infection control

Glare disrupts monitors/equipment

Exam · imaging · lab rooms in harsh sun · reflection on the monitor makes X-ray, ultrasound, MRI hard to read · curtains drawn every time · time lost · Smart Film / Smart Glass adjusts transparency instantly · maintains image quality

Data sensitivity · EMR screens

EMR screens · patient records · CT · MRI — must be shielded from the corridor view · shoulder-surfing risk · PDPA data breach · Smart Film default opaque mode · clears only on a verified staff badge tap · integrates with access control

Clean Room · Lab need ISO-grade

Lab · Clean Room · Cleanroom Class 100/1000/10000 · must be ISO 14644 compliant · curtains banned · ordinary partitions hold dust · Smart Glass Tempered Laminated = clean-grade · a smooth non-porous surface · airflow undisturbed

Hospital IT integration is hard

Modern hospitals run on HIS · PACS · access control (HID/Suprema) · they want a system that integrates without ordering separately · InHouse Smart Film / Smart Glass syncs · badge tap → the glass turns clear · back to opaque automatically after 30 s

Medical-grade · Why Now

Why do JCI · HA accredited hospitals · clinics · labs now all use Smart Film and switchable glass?

Since 2023, JCI-accredited hospitals and clinics in Thailand — Chulabhorn Hospital · Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun · Samitivej · Bumrungrad · BDMS Wellness Clinic · Rajavithi — have switched from curtains to Smart Film and switchable Smart Glass for reasons of infection control · HIPAA/PDPA compliance · workflow efficiency — not just aesthetics

Infection control · anti-bacterial

A smooth non-porous Smart Film surface · doesn't harbour MRSA · C. difficile · wipe with 70% alcohol · chlorhexidine · reduces hospital-acquired infection · fit for ward · OR · ICU · isolation room

HIPAA/PDPA · privacy on demand

Default opaque mode · clears only for authorised personnel · integrates HID · Suprema · Zkteco access control · badge tap → clear for 30 s → back to opaque · prevents shoulder surfing · EMR data protection

ISO 14644 Clean Room compatible

Smart Glass Tempered Laminated passes Class 100/1000/10000 clean-room standard · a non-porous surface · sheds no particles · uniform airflow · fit for a pharmaceutical lab · semiconductor · medical-device manufacturing

Hospital IT integration

Syncs with HIS · PACS · EMR · access control · nurse-call system · emergency override (all glass turns clear instantly on a code blue) · Crestron integration · voice control for a sterile surgeon

Patient experience + dignity

A premium-looking VIP suite · exam room · the patient feels dignity · no curtain to slide · convenient for staff · reduces patient anxiety · affects the patient-satisfaction score (HCAHPS)

12–15+ year lifespan · low maintenance

No curtains to wash · no replacing every 2–3 years · Smart Film 12+ years · Smart Glass Premium 15+ years base · +50% boost · cuts housekeeping · fewer infection-control audit findings · pays back within 2–3 years

Smart Film 4 sqm 1 days 5.0

Songklanagarind Hospital — Smart Film for a CT Scan Room Glass Wall

Hat Yai Subdistrict, Hat Yai District, Songkhla

Client brief

We wanted a solution that adjusts patient privacy fast to keep up with the situation, and that's easier to keep clean than fabric curtains in a medical space.

Result after installation

Press opaque to screen the patient instantly / a smooth, curtain-free surface wiped clean in one pass

Real client review
"After installation it switches clear-to-opaque quickly, keeping up with us. Patients are much more private, the space looks clean and tidy, and it's clearly easier to wipe clean than the old curtains."
— Radiologic Technologist · Songklanagarind Hospital
Charoensuk Animal Clinic — A Premium Glass House Pet Clinic
Smart Film 18 sqm 3 days 5.0

Charoensuk Animal Clinic — A Premium Glass House Pet Clinic

Charoensuk Animal Clinic, Watthana, Bangkok

Client brief

When pets see stimuli or people walking by outside, they get startled. I wanted a way to screen sightlines in specific zones while still opening part of it for natural light, so the clinic looks airy and clean. I didn't want curtains because of dust and the difficulty of cleaning off grime.

Result after installation

Create a calm space for pets instantly / the clinic manages cleanliness more easily

Real client review
"After installing Smart Film, pets no longer get startled by people walking by, and the medical team examines and treats them far more smoothly. It's easier to clean than the old curtains, clearly reducing the nursing assistants' workload. Well worth the investment."
— Veterinarian, Charoensuk Clinic
DR.SOMKIAT — Smart Glass for Patient Hygiene & Privacy
Smart Film 8 sqm 1 days 5.0

DR.SOMKIAT — Smart Glass for Patient Hygiene & Privacy

Building B, floor 5, Soi Sukhumvit 49, Bangkok

Client brief

Patients coming in for cosmetic dentistry usually want privacy during treatment. The clear glass at the front of the exam room made them feel self-conscious as people walked by, but curtains or frosted stickers would make the room feel cramped, hard to clean, and prone to germ build-up. We wanted a solution that looks clean and modern and lets us adjust privacy ourselves.

Result after installation

Give patients a safe, private space / elevate the exam room into a Smart Clinic

Real client review
"Cosmetic-dentistry patients want privacy during treatment. The clear glass at the front of the exam room made them self-conscious as people passed by. After installing smart film, one press to opaque means passers-by can't see in, the room looks more modern, it wipes clean easily to clinic standards, and the medical team works comfortably."
— Dr. Somkiat, dentist and clinic owner
Smile Everyday Dental Clinic — Smart Medical Privacy
Smart Film 15 sqm 2 days 5.0

Smile Everyday Dental Clinic — Smart Medical Privacy

Marketplace, 3rd floor, Yan Nawa District, Bangkok

Client brief

Clear-glass treatment rooms made patients feel self-conscious and exposed during care. But I worried curtains would harbor germs and be hard to clean. So I needed something that creates instant privacy, looks clean, and meets a medical facility's hygiene standards.

Result after installation

A private, safe treatment space / a smarter clinic that's easier to keep clean

Real client review
"Clear-glass treatment rooms made patients feel exposed. After installing smart film, pressing opaque creates instant privacy. The smooth surface wipes clean easily to medical-facility standards, the clinic looks smarter, and patients feel far more at ease about their privacy."
— Dentist · owner of Smile Everyday Clinic
Dr. Bank (SAC & PAUL) – Examination Room Smart Privacy
Smart Film 10 sqm 1 days 5.0

Dr. Bank (SAC & PAUL) – Examination Room Smart Privacy

SAC & PAUL Clinic, Krabi

Client brief

We wanted technology that could instantly screen sightlines the moment an exam begins, without interfering with the automatic sliding-door system — and it had to be easy to keep clean to clinic standards.

Result after installation

Instant privacy via remote / upgraded to a modern Smart Clinic standard

Real client review
"The clear-glass exam room made patients uneasy whenever someone walked past. With smart film, one press of the remote screens sightlines the moment an exam begins. The automatic doors still run smoothly, the surface is clean and easy to wipe to clinic standards, and the medical team works without worrying about curtains."
— Dr. Bank · Clinic owner and physician
Sirathana Engineering — Smart Film for a Ballroom
Smart Film 72 sqm 3 days 5.0

Sirathana Engineering — Smart Film for a Ballroom

Head office, Ramkhamhaeng 118, Bangkok

Client brief

Our ballroom has large glass walls. We used one-way film before, but at night with the lights on, people outside could still see in. We wanted an option we could press for real privacy, both day and night.

Result after installation

Press opaque to block the view completely, day and night / every event stays private

Real client review
"After installation I'm really impressed. At night with the lights on for an event, one press to opaque and people outside can't see in at all; press clear and the garden and city view are beautiful. Every guest at the event admires it. The room clearly looks more luxurious and private."
