3D Scanning and Virtual Tours for Hospitals

Digital Scanning Group delivers Matterport virtual tours that help families and patients see a clinical unit before they arrive, and survey-grade laser scanning for the estates teams who look after hospital buildings. Work is captured around clinical activity, to the unit's infection prevention and control requirements, by a supplier already working with NHS trusts and neonatal networks.

What we scan in hospitals

Neonatal and special care baby units; maternity units and birth centres; wards, theatres, imaging and outpatient departments; and estates, plant and back-of-house areas.

Virtual tours for patients and families

Family and patient orientation before admission or a first appointment; multi-language tours with translated captions and voiceover; staff induction and student familiarisation; wayfinding from the entrance to the department; embedded in trust websites and appointment letters; accessible on any phone with no app or login.

Surveys for hospital estates teams

As-built point cloud surveys of older blocks where drawings are unreliable; data for refurbishment design and decant planning; scan to BIM models of buildings, plant rooms and service routes; condition records before and after works; progress capture on live hospital construction projects; measured floor plans for fire strategy and space audits.

How we work on a hospital site

Non-contact capture with equipment wiped down between areas and the unit's hand hygiene and PPE rules followed. Units are captured at quiet times agreed with the ward manager with no patients or identifiable staff in shot. Tours carry captions and audio in the languages the unit serves. We are set up as a supplier with NHS trusts and networks and invoice against purchase orders.

Pricing

A Matterport tour of a single clinical unit with tagged room explanations and a year of hosting is typically £1,000 to £2,000. Multi-language versions, welcome videos and further units are quoted per item; programmes across a network are priced per unit with a programme discount. See pricing and our guide to 3D scanning for NHS hospitals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a hospital virtual tour cost?

A Matterport tour of a single unit such as a neonatal or maternity unit typically costs between £1,000 and £2,000 including capture, editing, tagged room explanations and the first year of hosting. Multi-language captions and voiceover are quoted on top. Hospital-wide programmes covering several units or sites are priced per unit with a programme discount.

Can you scan a working ward without disrupting patients?

Yes. We agree a capture window with the ward or unit manager, usually at a quiet point in the day, and scan the areas that are free. Capture is quiet and non-contact, patients and identifiable staff are never in shot, and we follow the unit's infection prevention and control requirements throughout.

Who hosts the tour and how do families access it?

Tours are hosted by us and shared as a simple link that the trust embeds in its website, patient information pages or appointment letters. Families open it on any phone or computer with no app, login or download. Hosting is included for the first year and renewed annually after that.

Can the tour be translated?

Yes. We build multi-language versions with translated captions and, where wanted, voiceover, selected from a language menu inside the tour. Translations are checked with the clinical team so terminology matches what families will hear on the unit.

Do you also do estates and construction surveys for hospitals?

Yes. Alongside patient-facing tours we deliver point cloud surveys, measured floor plans, scan to BIM models and construction progress capture for hospital estates teams and their contractors, working to the same infection control and access arrangements.
