The Royal Bournemouth Hospital says new touch-screen technology will make patients 'more empowered' when ordering their meals.

It's launched the hi-tech Hospedia system, in what it reckons is a UK first.

It'll show a picture and description of what's on the menu ... as well as dietary information like calories and fat ... and even where the ingredients were sourced from.

The Hospital says the changes are based on research done by a Bournemouth Uni professor.
