I couldn't find the complete article but it talks about how the use of the iPod provides education about the bariatric program. The iPod is loaded with audio and video clips, procedures, pre/post-operative preparation follow-up. Patients will have access to patient testimonials and surgeons answering frequently asked questions. The iPods feature diet and grocery shopping tips, recipes, exercise routines and motivational
messages. I think that with this program the patient will be better informed and will know more about the surgery. It also provides the opportunity of hearing testimonials about people going through the same situation and tips, routines and recipes that may help them accomplish maximum benefits. The article mentions that with success this type of program can be used in cancer, transplant and women's health program
patients. I think that is a great application for a device that you always have with you and that many people don't even know exists. Imagine what your iPod could do for you!
