Two kiosks have arrived in the north that would enable remote monitoring service to approximately 50 device patients in the Terrace area.
The Merlin on Demand Kiosks arrived in the north and will be in place in both Terrace and Fort St. John. They will service approximately 20 to 25 device patients in the Fort St. John area.
The kiosk will allow St. Jude Cardiac Implanted Electronic Device patients to transmit the device data in scheduled follow up checks similar to an in person visit. The device could also be used to determine if the patient needs to be transferred to another hospital or could be discharged if they’re stable; if they’re displaying shock like symptoms related to the implanted device.

Amanda Hugon was the very first interview subject I had on Journeys when I took over as host in 2020.
I was lucky enough to know Amanda growing up in Terrace, and wanted to have her on the show to talk about her career as a Northwest Coast artist, Frieda Diesing art school graduate and proud Indigenous woman from the Sto:lo and Cheam nations.
On this episode, she’ll give us an update on all of the murals and projects she’s had on the go since we last spoke to her, and she’ll give us a sneak peek at what her future plans are both pre and post-covid.
