Nintendo Japan is jumping on board the growing wave of internet assisted health care practices with their new Wii “Check-Up” channel. Developed along with Hitachi, NEC, Panasonic and an unnamed health insurance company, the service will offer a communications space where users can get advice from health professionals using the Wii Fit and NEC’s mobile phone platform. Fit users have had success in the past using the system as a method for getting in shape, and now the check-up channel looks like a valuable enhancement.
