Remote speakers and Health Informatics

February 1st, 2010 @ admin // No Comments

Back in 2006 we were approached by the Health Informatics Society of Ireland (HISI) to provide services for the streaming Dr. Susan Newbold’s presentation from Maryland in the U.S. After some initial training with Dr. Newbold, she was able to login from her home office and give her presentation to the conference where a group of 400 health informatics professionals listened and participated and Q&A. Here is a brief 4 minute clip of how it went.

Remote guest’s and speakers save time and money by utilising streaming technology this way, events organisers can also benefit from providing streaming facilities for their remote speakers by increasing the chances of availability of the speakers and by simply making life easier for their remote speakers. Dr. Newbold had a standard DSL connection, a webcam and as you can see from the recorded clip, a standard headset.
