Digibeter

Description: The Digibeter foundation provides a mobile audio- and videosystem, used for connecting children with medical needs to their mainstream school’s classroom from hospital or home.
Notes: Hospital schools are no longer existing in the Netherlands, in return have mainstream schools the legal obligation to continue the education of their pupils and students with medical needs in hospital and at home. A nation wide organisation (Ziezon) provides for that purpose the schools with consulting and help. At the pupil’s / student’s site a laptop or computer with build-in camera is used; In the mainstream’s classroom the device is the combination of a computer with large flatscreen and a remote controlled digital camera mounted on a transportable stand. Both sets are connected via internet.
