A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Hospital patients can monitor nature cams (self.showerthoughts)

Exposure to nature is healing and soothing. People recovering in hospitals spend a lot of time waiting. I think it would be great if live nature cam feeds were made available in hospitals and patients could text to a number when species appear or events happen.

A portion of the screen would display the picture and name of the species to look out for and the code you need to text to the number.

Why limit it to hospitals? There’s a lot of bored people out there who would do this, just set it up on a live-streaming site and people can comment when they see something interesting.

I wouldn't limit it to hospitals, however, I think it would be a good joint project for hospitals and scientists. It sure would be better than a loud TV in every hospital room and give people an easy and fun task.
