Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include a telemedicine communication system designed to make possible “virtual” patient visits by approved visitors such as the spouse, family, and friends of the hospitalized patient having the appropriate digital certificate and visitation/communication permissions. According to one embodiment, the system enables relatives to visit hospitalized patients using audiovisual communication modalities selected according to the severity and health status of the patient. Additionally, the system provides functionality to enable approved relatives to follow the health status of the patient according to their permissions.

Abstract: A compound of small amounts of skin protectants and a relatively large amount of deionized water in a lightweight cellular foam or froth resulting from the introduction of gas bubbles during manufacture enables the small amounts of protectants to penetrate the surface of the skin and form an active protective film in the upper layers of the epidermis so as to provide a barrier between the skin surface and the sensitive lower layers of the epidermis. An optimum degree of protection of the skin results from the penetration of the small amounts of the ingredients of the compound which includes propylene glycol, glycerine, sorbitol, stearin, mineral oil, polydimethylsiloxane, sorbitan monostearate, POE sorbitan monostearate, triethanlomaine, and a perfume oil in a combined total of 20% or less of the compound and 80% or more deionized water.
