Learn360Health Partners with eVideon to Extend Classroom to Hospital Bedside

Integration of content and platform to bring more comprehensive solution to school-aged children’s hospital bedside

Woodbury, NY and Grand Rapids, MI 

Learn360Health, a division of Learn360 and healthcare’s first single-source digital content provider of Patient Education, Relaxation, Entertainment and Pediatric K-12 Education Services announced that it has partnered with Optimal Solutions’ eVideon Healthcare to bring the Classroom to the Hospital bedside. The partnership will integrate Learn360’s high-quality education video content with the eVideon Healthcare interactive patient TV system. Hospitalized school-aged children will now have access to more than 9,300 educational video titles through the eVideon Healthcare system.

Integration of Learn360’s content with the eVideon Healthcare system removes the time restriction when educational material is available to the hospitalized student, allowing students to continue their education at their own pace. The partnership augments tutor and teacher programs and provides parents with the ability to monitor their child’s progress. The Learn360Health content continues to be available to patients – who are also students – following discharge.

Learn360’s video content is used by more than 37,000 schools throughout the U.S. and Canada and all titles and resources are correlated to state, national and provincial curriculum standards.  Content is provided by top educational publishers such as Encyclopedia Britannica, A&E Television Networks (which includes A&E, History and Biography), National Geographic, Sunburst Visual Media, among others.

“Continuing the education of a hospitalized child is difficult and often overlooked,” said Ed Murphy, Learn360’s vice president of marketing and business development. “While parents have a strong temptation to add the role of teacher to their responsibilities, it can become a stress enabler rather than an inhibitor.  Education can be critical to the overall mental health of the family and patient.  Having curriculum-based video content available to the young student/patient outside of treatment and visitation schedules helps bridge that gap.”

eVideon Healthcare is an interactive patient TV system that utilizes IP network technology to deliver a personalized and interactive experience to hospitalized patients. Using the pillow speaker, eVideon Healthcare transforms the in-room TV into a two-way communication tool for hospital staff and patients.  The service enables patients to relax, while also be entertained, educated and informed by providing a sense of control and engagement with enriching content.

“Our company serves two industries – education and healthcare, and we’ve successfully worked with Learn360 in many schools” said Jeff Ingle, founder of Optimal Solutions. “Now, kids and families will benefit from having its content integrated into our eVideon Healthcare system. It sets the stage for a fascinating future of close interaction between schools and hospitals.”
