Evidence-based visual art, at the scale of a health system.
Vasari delivers clinically informed visual art to patient rooms, waiting areas and staff spaces. No new hardware. No IT burden.
The thesis
Visual art improves patient outcomes. Most hospitals cannot access it at scale.
The evidence
Research consistently shows that curated visual art in clinical settings reduces patient-reported pain, lowers anxiety and cortisol, and improves satisfaction scores. Staff benefit too, with measured stress reduction in aesthetically enhanced environments.
The barrier
Acquisition, framing, security, insurance and conservation turn art into a capital project. Curation demands specialist staff. The result is that evidence-based art has been limited to a handful of the best-resourced health systems.
The solution
One HD stream into your existing internal TV or digital signage infrastructure. Centrally curated, rights-cleared, updated instantly. No hardware to purchase, no art to insure, no walls to drill.
The research
Supported by decades of clinical study.
20–30%
Reduction in patient-reported pain scores in art-enhanced clinical environments, in meta-analysis of controlled studies.
Cortisol
Measurable reduction in patients exposed to curated visual art programs, in peer-reviewed clinical research.
44%
Of healthcare staff turnover is potentially preventable through psychosocial environment improvements. Average RN replacement cost is $46,100.
HCAHPS
Patient satisfaction scores consistently improve in facilities operating evidence-based art programs.

Traction
Live in a flagship cancer center.
Vasari is live at MD Anderson Cancer Center, with QR-based patient surveys actively collecting outcomes data, and additional top-tier academic medical centers in active procurement. The same platform reaches more than a million connected televisions across eight consumer TV and mobile platforms, which is why the institutional deployment carries no bespoke engineering.
Deployment
How it reaches your screens
-
Connect
A 24/7 HD feed over RTMPS or HLS, ingested into your existing internal video system like any other channel. For standalone displays, a plug-in device connects to any screen with HDMI and Wi-Fi.
-
Program
Calming content for imaging and infusion suites, nature for waiting areas, energizing selections for staff lounges. Assign by zone or department and adjust at any time.
-
Measure
Optional QR survey cards in the stream collect patient and visitor feedback without routing data through your systems, and utilization reporting supports internal review and donor stewardship alike.
-
Grow
Start with a focused pilot, expand across the system as value is demonstrated, and manage every site from one dashboard.
