Cot on camera: Virtual visit service at SGH
The Straits Times-Home, Fri April 20th 2006
I am amazed at the wonders of technolgy and the conveniences it brings to us. Now after giving birth, a new mother can go home and recuperate with a peace of mind, leaving the baby behind in the hospital. The mother can then monitor her baby from home via a live video camera trained on his cot. I am impressed with this new innovation as i believe it has alot of advantages. With this virtual visit concept, family members of the couple have a chance to catch a first glimpse of the baby and do not need to travel all the way to the hospital each day just to visit the baby, thus saving alot on transportation costs and time. Also, the video taken of the baby can be sent directly to the father's handphone so that the father can see his baby anytime, anywhere even when at work, providing alot of convenience for the working parent. Furthermore this virtual visit service is cheap and easy to use. I believe that in the future this virtual visit service will become popular among the couples and will be widely used in hospitals around the country in time to come.

Wow, it really is a very unique way of seeing your new born baby! I too believe that this innovation will be widely used by newly parents in the near future. However, i feel that there is still the disagvantages to this form of 'virtual' visit to the hospital. From my point of view, no matter how inconvinient it is to travel from home or work to the hospital, the main point should be to see the new-born baby face to face, where reality is present and to feel and hear the so called real baby and not through a technogical equipment.
