HealthPod - using the popular music player to help Bariatric surgery patients
Clarian Health Partners developed a program to use Apple's iPods to help bariatric surgery patients on better understanding their condition, the benefits and consequences related to the procedure. Using a US$120.000 studio, the Project creates videos and audio presentations with testimonials from patients, common questions answered by real doctors, tips about exercise, diet and everything else they need before and after the surgery. The iPods, $299 apiece (street price) where provided by Apple under a health system's 10% discount. source: The Journal Gazette
