The Ochsner Center for Primary Care and Wellness in New Orleans has installed a 'genius bar' to make using mobile and wearable technology easier for patients, according to an article on the Hospitals & Health Networks website.
Patients may get a new Fitbit or a weight loss coaching app downloaded into their smartphone.
The O Bar is a brightly lit tech support station sleekly appointed with stainless-steel stools, counter-mounted iPads and wall-mounted video displays. It’s modeled after the Genius Bar in Apple stores, the article said.
There’s a technician on duty to advise the patient on how best to fill the prescription that bears the doctor’s signature. The devices are on sale at the O Bar at a discount, which is also available to the public.
