Tablet PCs in the waiting room?

Although we’re all familiar with doctors using Tablet PCs like the Motion C5 for  record keeping, a new company - Phreesia - wants to put a Tablet PC like device in the hands of the patients in the waiting room. The interesting part  "There is no cost to the doctor. We’re building up the network, and then pharmaceutical companies pay only for the right to advertise." Interesting idea, although as a patient, I think I get plenty of ads from the pharma companies as it is.
