Ateeq ... what advice are you referring to ?

mactavish - 02 Aug 2005 12:57 - 2243 of 3776

Courtsey of Paul Smith.


How many companies currently run off your tongue that can suppy a seamless integration between PC, Mobile & TV, the three biggest worldwide mediums.

Well, personally, I can't think of any, apart from Yoomedia of course.

Yoomedia currently provide the NHS direct service on the SKY active portal, this will become more interactive with the general public sometime next year.

Dr Sinclair explained this part of the company indepth to us, he openly admitted with his background in medicine, that it was this part of the company that drew him to get involved.

Already, a very successful pilot has taken place, where 10 patients were able to access a virtual consultant, whereby by use of a keyboard, they input their questions and concerns about future operations they were to undertake, it was discovered that whether that patient needed a new hip, a heart operation, or cancer treatment, mosy of their questions were generic.

Once the questions were input, 10 people simultaneaously were able to have a one and a half hour consultation, simultaneously via their TV, all given anonomymity

Amazing cost saving benefits here to an already overstretched NHS service, one virtual consulatnt doing the work to 10 consultants.

We were told that the next step in NHS direct, was for everybody to access to all their medical records via the service, as well as any appointments they have for services, your own virtual NHS information box.

This should be implemented next year.

With todays news, I would imagine the same logic will apply to NHS direct, as seamless integration with all us, via mobile, TV and Internet, so if Dr So and So is off sick and can't make your appointment, somehow you will be contactable, on the other hand, missed appointments cause the NHS a severe amount of money each year, this should be virtually eliminated, as the NHS will be able to easily get hold of you, whether you are at home, on the train, or in the hairdressers.

For the attention of Mr Sensible:-

More info on the William Hill 5 year contract, due to the unforseen take over of the Stanley Leisure Group, who already had an ongoing contract in place, due to expire in December, this has prevented from what i understand a seamless rollout of channel 425 services, to include fixed odds betting terminals in the William Hill high street shops, now some 600 shops more than the original contract.( makes the few months wait worthwhile for what is to come next year )

Yoomedia have the upper hand over the other provider due to the 425 channel already being in place.

I wouldn't be at all surprised, after todays VERY SIGNIFICANT ANNOUNCEMENT, to see the same seamless integration that now exists for Yooemedia's AVAGO brand , being introduced for the WILLIM HILL brand.

2006 is I am certain going to be the year for Yooemdia, where it is all going to start happening.

I have never had the nerve to broadacst my own thoughts as to where I see the shareprice being at the end of my five year minimum holding period, but I will put my cards on the table for all to see, right here and now, my starting point is a conservative 3.00 - I can now hear a lot of people rolling about in fits of laughter - but - take a look at SPORTINGBET - you could have bought into this company for 20p within the last three years, and sold at over 3.00 in recent times - why do you think SPORTINGBET once wanted to get into bed with YOOMEDIA - look at YOOMEDIA now, seamless integration from one e-wallet over PC, TV and Mobile with there AVAGO Brand - not long now until YOOMEDIA become the biggest interactive gaming company - and not only do they have there own brand, with a full licensed bookmaker service under theit belt, but they are about to emabark on a five year contract to provide interactive services to WILLIAM HILL, with the added advantage of 1600 high street outlets.

It really does not take a genius to see where Yoomedia are now going to be in next few years, and who knows, Avago could just be such a tempting aquisition to WILLIAM HILL in the future.

Paul

Hi All,

Nice to see people here other than the basher dilbrain, I have the idiot squelched, but I can only guess at the level of abuse aimed at me, from a low life like dilbrain.

It's going to be another funny share this, because the price will keep going up, and dilbrain will still be here bashing when the S.P gets to 's, just wait and see !

Cheers,
PM
