Mobile Patient Communcator - A PDA for the Patient During Doctor Visits
How does this sound to you?
Once registered, patients are notified of their exam room availability and provided a digital map with step-by-step directions. After unescorted self-rooming, they receive updates on their doctor's status. A large family medicine clinic at a nationally ranked healthcare provider is currently testing the MPC self-rooming application.
The Mobile Patient Communicator also provides videos and health quizzes while the patient waits. The device works based on wireless networks.
The developer, International Medical Solutions, says the device frees up nurses from "rooming patients" so they can spend more time with patients. I know in my/my Dad's healthcare world nurses don't to the escorting; it's the assistants who do the rooming and also take your temperature and blood pressure.
Based on the mazes I've followed in hospitals, I confess I'd rather have a personal escort and I really want my Dad to have one!
