John Bell & Croyden Introduces Interactive Touch Screen Healthpoint System

John Bell & Croyden, a London-based pharmacy and healthcare store, has introduced Healthpoint system, a new interactive touch screen information system thus allowing the customers to access health care information almost on a 24/7 basis.

John Bell & Croyden said that the Healthpoint system delivers information on over 3000 health topics. All the information is medically referenced and is presented in a format that is easy to understand for patients.

The use of videos with over 400 topics and fifteen hundred pictures in the database helps illustrate and educate patients about certain medical conditions. The database covers a various health topics from heart disease, diabetes, smoking, vitamin and mineral supplements to sport and travel information.

The information on each topic covers such matters as definition of the medical condition, the signs and symptoms, the causes, the health management, dietary advice and signposting. The key elements behind this are not only to provide health information free of charge but also to encourage the patient to participate in the management of their own well-being and health.

The other benefit of the Healthpoint system is that it provides John Bell & Croyden with a statistical breakdown on what health topics are been accessed. This information can be used to determine what resources should be allocated to support certain medical conditions.

Moreover, the entire information database has been checked by the National Pharmaceutical Association and the information database provided is updated every 3 months.
