In healthcare institutions, medical staff face intense mental and physical pressure on a daily basis: irregular hours, heavy workloads, and emotional management with patients. These factors can lead to burnout and chronic stress.
PODCALM, the multisensory relaxation capsule, offers an innovative and tailored solution to help healthcare workers regain serenity and energy in just a few minutes.
Thanks to its cocoon-shaped design, PODCALM offers a private space, sheltered from prying eyes and noise. Once inside, healthcare professionals can refocus on themselves, release accumulated tension, and achieve a state of inner calm through our various programs (Anti-stress, recovery, relaxation, etc.).
PODCALM is an energizing and restorative boost, ready to help you tackle your challenges in the hospital setting.
With PODCALM, 20 minutes of disconnection equals 2 hours of restorative sleep – perfect for those night shifts!
Offering a quality break reduces the risks of burnout, absenteeism, and turnover.
The "zero gravity" position reduces chronic pain associated with prolonged postures.
A short break with a big impact: reducing stress, improving concentration, memory, and performance.
PODCALM engages all four senses for quick disconnection and optimal recovery: music therapy, aromatherapy, light therapy, and soothing vibrations for complete relaxation.
PODCALM uses a clinically validated multisensory protocol combining neuroscience and sophrology. By engaging 4 senses simultaneously (hearing, smell, sight, touch), it enables deep mental and physical recovery in just 20 minutes — equivalent to 2 hours of restorative sleep. This is especially valuable during long shifts and night rotations.
PODCALM is trusted by leading healthcare institutions including AP-HP emergency departments (Dr. Arnaud Depil-Duval at FOCH Hospital), CHU UCL Namur (Belgium), Campus Gustave Roussy (cancer care), and the WISH (World Innovation Summit for Health). It is deployed across hospital break rooms, staff lounges, and dedicated recovery spaces.
No. PODCALM is fully autonomous with an integrated touch screen. Caregivers simply select a program and duration, then rest. No supervision, training, or additional staffing is needed.
PODCALM requires just a 2×1 meter footprint and a standard power outlet. It fits in break rooms, staff rest areas, or any quiet corner. No plumbing or special wiring is needed.
The most popular programs for caregivers include stress relief, sleep optimization, post-shift recovery, mental preparation before critical procedures, and burnout prevention. Sessions range from 5 to 20 minutes to fit between patient rounds.
Yes. The zero-gravity position combined with vibro-acoustic waves helps relieve muscular tension accumulated during physically demanding shifts. Regular micro-recovery sessions can help prevent chronic musculoskeletal issues common among nursing staff.
