Patients receive FREE WiFi service in doctors’ offices featuring enhanced Internet searching- a virtual “page turning” experience.

March 26, 2008 - (TopHosts News Brief) – tyBit Unified Search has been selected by WiSpots as the exclusive search engine for its WiPad devices.

Even if they don’t have their own wireless device, the tool allows patients in medical office waiting rooms to connect to the Internet for free. WiPads are already offered at many physician practices, and WiSpots will be launching this interactive solution, powered by the tyBit search engine, throughout North Carolina and the United States over the next 18 months. With the WiSpots WiPad, patients are able to connect to the Internet, enabling them to read informative content concerning their visit to the doctor or check e-mail while away from their office.

“There were over 68,000 hotspots worldwide as of mid-2005,” explained WiSpots CEO Kevin Flannery. “At this time only a small percentage of the general public is able to utilize these hotspot locations because patrons must provide their own laptop computers or PDAs. That’s not an issue at our client locations since we provide the WiPads for their patients to use on site.”

Patients are enabled to search the Internet using tyBit Unified Search for online magazines, news and social networks such as tyVille. They can also join existing social network groups using WiPads, such as cancer support groups, which allows them to communicate with other people who share the same medical concerns.

The WiPad uses technology that offers a virtual “page turning” experience for many publications. Magazines are read on the WiPad screen, and pages are turned with the touch of a button.
