iSeeTV Brings Healthcare to Students
- 4 March 2003
A broadband healthcare service which offers students a live consultation with a nurse outside clinic hours will be launched at the end of March at Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana.
The new service will enable the university’s 4000 resident students to access healthcare expertise seven days a week through their dormitory room PCs using iSeeTV technology developed by UK-based Media Logic.
Media Logic says that students will be able to consult with a live onscreen nurse while conversing by phone. The nurse will be able to show appropriate visuals and multimedia content to the student. No one else will see the private consultation.
The service has been devised by the university’s Centre for Media Design. Future plans include the development of a career advice and counselling serving the university’s large nursing student population and the roll-out of the healthcare advice service to Muncie – and beyond.
