Using ユースカジノ イージープラン Access Network to Create a Communication Space that Instills Peace of Mind in Hospital Patients- Aiming for a comfortable, home-like environment in which patients can speak to family members from hospital rooms ユースカジノ イージープラン - |

Starting from March of this year, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. (NTT), Nippon Telegraph and Telephone West Corp. (NTT West), ユースカジノ イージープラン & Medical Center for Infectious Disease (ユースカジノ イージープラン), and the Institute of Systems & Information Technologies/KYUSHU (ISIT) will begin a three-month joint trial aimed at improving the communication environment for child patients who are required to stay in hospital for long periods of convalescence, and who are thus subjected to excessive levels of psychological stress. In this trial, the Children's Hospital and ISIT will be connected using B Flets, a fiber-optic IP connection service provided by NTT West. The goal of the trial is to verify the efficacy of "ユースカジノ イージープラン," which create a communication environment that provides child patients with the peace of mind they would feel as if they were in their own room-for example, in knowing that if they call someone will answer and allow the child to enjoy, among other services, virtual classes with links to other children, and stimulation of intellectual curiosity through network-based conversations with robots. After the trial stage above mentioned, hospital rooms will be connected, using B Flets, ユースカジノ イージープラン homes of child patients actually in hospital, so as to create an environment that enables the child to communicate with his or her family at any time, while constantly being reassured of their presence. Evaluations of service effectiveness will take place at this stage. NTT Cyber Solutions Laboratories and ISIT will build the system environment, verify the psychological effects that each system will have on the child patients, verify system effectiveness, and identify relevant issues. The ユースカジノ イージープラン will provide the verification field, and will offer support by having doctors, nurses, and in-hospital teachers evaluate the system's effects on children. The Fukuoka Branch of NTT West will lay the physical lines and conduct network evaluations, among other operations. ユースカジノ イージープラン;Background to Trial Implementation The ユースカジノ イージープラン is the only general hospital in Western Japan to specialize in the care of children. Many children from outside of Fukuoka Prefecture receive in-patient care at this hospital, a situation that often places great burdens, in terms of time, money, and other factors, on the families who must travel back and forth from remote locations for visits. When these children have been admitted to the ユースカジノ イージープラン Center for infectious diseases, visits are frequently limited due to the nature of the illness. In this kind of environment, the children receiving in-patient care must not only battle with their illness; in many cases, they must also deal with the stress of being unable to see their friends, brother and sister or to attend school. The ユースカジノ イージープラン believes that these problems have a significant effect on progress and recovery in the context of medical conditions in child patients, and had been searching for an effective means of resolving these issues. NTT Cyber Solutions Laboratories developed the "In-hospital Classroom Support System," which supports communication environments and education for child patients on long-term hospital stays through the use of virtual space and interactive video communication technologies. ユースカジノ イージープラン had undergone evaluations over the past two years at the National Children's Hospital and other institutions. The results of these evaluations confirmed ユースカジノ イージープラン's effectiveness, but because at the time optical broadband had not yet become available for general users, video and audio quality in low-speed network environments was insufficient, and various issues remained, for example in terms of reality and responsiveness. Once optical fibers came to be installed even to private homes for relatively low costs, NTT Cyber Solutions Laboratories are developing the "ユースカジノ イージープラン System" to overcome past issues and to create a richer, more reassuring communication environment for child patients and their families. ISユースカジノ イージープラン currently involved in research and development related to human interfaces for information devices. Among these activities, ユースカジノ イージープラン researching communication support technologies that utilize robots. One of its key research themes is the development of the interface technologies required to enable not only direct dialogue between humans and robots, but dialogue across networks as well. ユースカジノ イージープラン Branch of NTT West began offering B Flets Services from November 2001, and has been pursuing services appropriate to optical broadband environments. These four parties have agreed to combine their respective knowledge, skills, and technologies in a trial of "ユースカジノ イージープラン," which are designed to relieve the stress felt by child patients in hospitals and bring out the true capacity for recovery that these children possess. ユースカジノ イージープラン;Specific Functions "ユースカジノ イージープラン" include the following functions (ref.attached Figures 1-3):
ユースカジノ イージープラン;Plans for the Future Optical Broadband Networks offer high-quality interactive communications and provide peace of mind in communications through permanent Internet connections. ユースカジノ イージープラン future, we will incorporate new issues and knowledge, improving the Amenity Communication system to provide even greater joy to children recovering from illnesses or injury, and developing communication systems to provide support to senior citizens living alone based on this concept. Furthermore, we will continue to develop robot-based communication environments to support human-friendly interfaces that can be used by anyone, at any time, in any place. |
