As a leader in direct-to-consumer health information programs in the waiting room environment, IDS empowers people with healthcare information so they can: ask informed questions of their doctor; make an informed purchase decision at the store; and take helpful information for others in their lives.

Lengthy wait times (typically 40 minutes or more) allow you to inform and educate consumers on health-related topics such as: nutrition, women’s health, family health and/or general health (ask about how you can customize the ‘General Health’ shelf based on who you’re targeting).
