Erfahrungsberichte
Chefärzte, Ärztliche Direktoren & Vorstände über HappyMed
Great new opportunity!
"The problem with patients is often that they are afraid of this partial anesthetic because they do not want to hear anything about the operation, because they are afraid that the anesthesia will not work properly and say:" I want general anesthesia. " do not know about the risks of general anesthesia. This means that this method of audiovisual care for the patient during partial anesthesia is a great new opportunity. "
We are totally satisfied. The employees have completely accepted the system.
And the patients are incredibly happy about it. They are really well distracted, they are completely relaxed. "
Endlich eine digitale Antwort auf das, was Pharmaka allein nicht lösen können
"HappyMed liefert eine digitale Lösung für ein Problem, dem wir Ärzte bislang bestenfalls mit Pharmaka und guten Worten begegnen konnten."
Psychosomatische Behandlung trifft auf innovative Audiovision-Technologie
"Die Einbeziehung von psychosomatischen Mechanismen bei der Behandlung von Angstpatienten ist besonders in der Zahnmedizin von wesentlicher Bedeutung. HappyMed bietet hierbei als Komplettlösung im Bereich Audiovision ein empfehlenswertes System."
Thanks to the HappyMed video glasses, patient acceptance of regional anesthesia procedures is also increasing.
Almost without exception, additional sedation can be completely dispensed with. Their use is therefore an effective measure to reduce postoperative cognitive deficit states with extended hospital stays - especially in older patients. HappyMed is therefore a win-win for both patient and hospital. "
Less use of sedatives / anesthetics and faster regeneration after the operation!
“The top priority is to relieve our patients of fear and discomfort before a medical procedure. The Happymed video glasses support our individual patient treatment, lead to fewer sedatives / anesthetics and faster regeneration after the operation. "
Onkologische Patienten können Hier und Jetzt für eine Weile vergessen.
"Neben der medizinischen Komponente in der onkologischen Behandlung müssen wir auch an die Gefühlswelt unserer PatientInnen denken. Dafür gibt es viele Möglichkeiten wie etwa Musik zu hören, Filme anzusehen, Bücher zu lesen und vieles mehr. Interessant ist dabei die Idee von HappyMed, mehrere dieser Komponenten zu verbinden, und PatientInnen in eine Welt zu versetzen, die ihnen hilft, das Hier und Jetzt für eine Weile zu vergessen."
Mehr Patientenkomfort und Behandlungssicherheit im Herz- und Gefäßzentrum.
"Ich bin davon überzeugt, dass wir besonders im interdisziplinär ausgerichteten Herz- und Gefäßzentrum (HGZ) von der Videobrille profitieren können. In enger fachlicher Zusammenarbeit mit meinen Kolleginnen und Kollegen verschiedenster Fachbereiche arbeiten wir stetig daran, den Patientenkomfort und die Behandlungssicherheit zu verbessern. Wir freuen uns deshalb sehr, dass wir durch den Einsatz der Videobrille die Behandlung sowie den Krankenhausaufenthalt für Patientinnen und Patienten in den Sana Kliniken Lübeck deutlich angenehmer gestalten können."
In practical application, we look forward to more relaxed patients.
"I remembered the HappyMed video glasses from a visit to the Capital Anesthesia Congress last year. I was immediately convinced of the benefits of audiovisual distraction for patients before, during, or after surgery. Since the beginning of the year we have successfully used 3 HappyMed video glasses at our clinic. In practical use, we are happy about more relaxed patients, in many cases we were even able to save sedative medication. That is a good outcome, with a lasting positive effect on the postoperative phase. "
We were amazed at the immediate positive effects, as well as at the acceptance in the clinics, by employees and patients.
"For us, the patient's well-being comes first - and for this we also like to use innovative and convincing technologies". We were amazed at the immediate positive effects, as well as at the acceptance in the clinics, by employees and patients. Patients breathe more slowly with glasses, their heart beats more calmly, the individual pain sensation decreases and so fewer medicinal sedatives are needed. Overall, the acceptance rate of gentle regional anesthesia instead of general anesthesia is increasing. Doctor and hospital phobias can also be positively influenced in this way. Ultimately, the use of video glasses leads to higher patient satisfaction, as the manufacturer has established. "

FAQ
Do you have another question?
How well are the glasses being accepted by patients and nursing staff? Are there any numbers?
The program offers either entertainment or relaxation for all ages – for children as well as for seniors. Patients can choose among feature films, comedies, documentaries, nature relaxation, classical concerts, and children’s series.
According to a survey in several clinics of a German chain of clinics (n = 110), 92% of the patients would use HappyMed again. The medical staff enjoy working with HappyMed in more than 80% of the cases. In 45% of the interventions, HappyMed can save on sedatives, painkillers or anesthetics. In 73% of these cases, medication could even be completely dispensed with.
What is the difference to virtual reality glasses?
Virtual reality glasses are very popular in the entertainment industry, but have some disadvantages in medical use in the OR. When wearing the virtual reality glasses, the patient should be able to move and turn his head; this is the only way to perceive the full environment. In the operating room, however, it does not make sense for patients to move their head back and forth. It has also been found that virtual reality glasses can cause dizziness in some patients. Another disadvantage is the focus on the visual level. Patients are only distracted spatially and not acoustically. So you can perceive the surrounding noises and that in turn makes the calming effect more difficult. For these reasons, we at HappyMed use classic video glasses with headphones.
Can the video glasses also be used on children?
In the case of children, it is particularly useful to use it in the pre-operartive room. So you come to the operating room relaxed and only see the transfer from the bed to the operating table before the medical and film programs continue.
How much do the HappyMed video glasses cost?
The video glasses are exclusively rented. The monthly subscription cost is just €199. That includes the complete system and the film licenses.
Device purchase is unfortunately not possible. The background to this is the ongoing license fees for the commercial use of the films and the management of the associated contracts, which means that HappyMed takes over the full curation of the content, including the management of the rights of use. Hospitals are thus comprehensively protected by law. The contents are also regularly updated and expanded. In addition to the medical advantages of calmer patients, there are also positive economic effects for the hospital. The audiovisual distraction saves drugs. Above all, it relieves the nursing staff in preparation for the operation and in the recovery room.
How much are the HappyMed video glasses economically viable?
Medical interventions are associated with stress and anxiety . Some patients require higher doses of sedatives and / or analgesics for this reason. Frightened patients also opt for general anesthesia more often , even if, for example, the upcoming procedure would also be possible under regional anesthesia. The sequelae of higher drug doses etc. include the occurrence of postoperative delirium, a longer period of time before extubation or a longer stay in the recovery room. Taken as a whole, this results in an increased amount of care on the part of the anesthetists and nursing staff.
Examples with cost estimates:
- Patients who develop postoperative delirium have to stay an average of 4.2 days longer in the hospital and thus consume additional resources worth around € 1,200.
- Patients who were additionally pharmaceutically sedated before the regional anesthesia must be monitored in the recovery room for 2 hours after the operation. If you rate an hour in the recovery room with costs of approx. 600 €, this results in additional costs of 1,200 € for this one patient.
With the HappyMed video glasses there is a potential for savings through more regional anesthesiainstead of general anesthesia, through less pharmaceutical sedation, through a shorter time to extubation, through a shorter time in the recovery room, through a reduced risk of postoperative delirium and through the relief of the anesthesia and / or nursing staff.
In June 2021, for example, in the anesthesia department in the Schrobenhausen district hospital, the effect of HappyMed video glasses was examined on 88 patients over a period of 5 months . The evaluation not only dealt with the effect of audiovisual sedation on patients, but also included process-oriented topics such as the assessment of economic factors.
It was found here that the patient’s level of anxiety is significantly reduced through the use of glasses and that sedatives could be partially or completely reduced in over 80% of the interventions, according to the assessment of the treatment team.
Finally, it was possible to prove in an economic analysis that the use of HappyMed video glasses is also economical: despite primarily additional costs, the profitability could be proven through positive secondary and tertiary effects . An extrapolation allows the conclusion that the amortization of the video glasses with an isolated consideration of the sequela of “delirium” occurs with an avoidance of this per 113 uses.
The author goes on to say that, from an economic point of view, the marketing effect of video glasses can also create added value. Because other marketing measures are hardly feasible for such low expenditure as for the HappyMed video glasses.

Medizinische Eingriffe gehen mit Stress und Angst einher. Einige Patienten benötigen aus diesem Grund höhere Dosen an Sedativa und/oder Analgetika. Verängstigte Patienten entscheiden sich außerdem häufiger für Vollnarkosen, auch wenn z.B. der bevorstehende Eingriff auch unter regionaler Anästhesie möglich wäre. Zu den Folgeerscheinungen von höheren Medikamentendosen etc. zählen u.a. das Auftreten eines postoperativen Delirs, ein verlängerter Zeitraum bis zur Extubation oder eine längere Verweildauer im Aufwachraum. Gesamtheitlich gesehen ergibt sich daraus ein erhöhter Betreuungsaufwand vonseiten des Anästhesie- und Pflegepersonals.
Beispiele mit Kostenschätzungen:
- Patienten, welche ein postoperatives Delir entwickeln, müssen im Schnitt 4,2 Tage länger im Krankenhaus bleiben und verbrauchen somit zusätzliche Ressourcen im Wert von ca. 1.200 €.
- Patienten, welche vor der Regionalanästhesie zusätzlich pharmazeutisch sediert wurden, müssen nach der OP verpflichtend 2 Stunden im Aufwachraum überwacht werden. Wenn man eine Stunde im Aufwachraum mit Kosten von ca. 600 € bewertet, ergeben sich dadurch Mehrkosten von 1.200 € für diesen einen Patienten.
Mit der HappyMed Videobrille ergibt sich somit ein Einsparungspotenzial durch mehr Regionalanästhesie statt Allgemeinanästhesie, durch weniger pharmazeutische Sedierung, durch eine verkürzte Zeit bis zur Extubation, durch eine verkürzte Zeit im Aufwachraum, durch ein verringertes Risiko für ein postoperatives Delir und durch die Entlastung des Anästhesie- und/oder Pflegepersonals.
Im Juni 2021 wurde z.B. in der Anästhesie-Abteilung im Kreiskrankenhaus Schrobenhausen die Wirkung der HappyMed Videobrille in einem Zeitraum von 5 Monaten an 88 Patienten untersucht. Die Evaluierung beschäftigte sich nicht nur mit der Wirkung audiovisueller Sedierung auf Patienten, sondern umfasste auch prozessorientierte Themen wie z.B. die Erhebung ökonomischer Faktoren.
Hier wurde festgestellt, dass das Angstniveau der Patienten durch den Einsatz der Brille hochsignifikant reduziert werden und in über 80 % der Eingriffe Sedativa nach Einschätzung des Behandlungsteams teilweise oder gar gänzlich reduziert werden konnten.
Abschließend konnte in einer ökonomischen Betrachtung nachgewiesen werden, dass der Einsatz der HappyMed Videobrille auch wirtschaftlich ist: trotz primär zusätzlicher Kosten konnte durch positive Sekundär- und Tertiäreffekte die Wirtschaftlichkeit nachgewiesen werden. Eine Hochrechnung lässt den Schluss zu, dass eine Amortisierung der Videobrille bei isolierter Betrachtung der Folgeerscheinung „Delir“, bei einer Vermeidung dessen pro 113 Anwendungen erfolgt.
Die Autorin führt weiter aus, dass wirtschaftlich betrachtet auch der Marketingeffekt der Videobrille einen Mehrwert stiften kann. Denn für derart geringe Aufwendungen wie für die HappyMed Videobrille sind andere Marketingmaßnahmen kaum realisierbar.
