“…DVTS and H.323 are the main technologies used in recent years to secure network-based connections 1 2 12 13. In the era of DVTS a decade ago, REN connectivity was an important prerequisite for a medical teleconference 1 6 7 12. Without the large bandwidth provided by REN, it was impossible to achieve a connection via DVTS.…”

“…Without the large bandwidth provided by REN, it was impossible to achieve a connection via DVTS. Recently, taking advantage of the H.264 scalable video coding format, which resulted in adaptive bandwidth requirement, the Vidyo ® teleconference system is gaining much popularity 2 12 13. The advent of the Vidyo ® teleconference system “revolutionized” current teleconference practice.…”

Background and study aims An Endoscopic Club E-conference (ECE) was set up in May 2014 to cater to increased demand for gastrointestinal endoscopy-related teleconferences in the Asia-Pacific region which were traditionally organized by the medical working group (MWG) of Asia-Pacific Advanced Network. This study describes how the ECE meeting was run, examines the group dynamics, outlines feedback and analyzes factors affecting the enthusiasm of participants. It is hoped that the findings here can serve as guidance for future development of other teleconference groups. Methods The preparation, running of and feedback on the ECE teleconference were evaluated and described. The country’s economic situation, time zone differences, connectivity with a research and education network (REN) and engineering cooperation of each member were recorded and analyzed with regard to their association with participant enthusiasm, which was taken as participation in at least 50 % of the meetings since joining. Associations were calculated using 2-way table with chi-square test to generate odds ratio and P value. Results To date, ECE members have increased from 7 to 29 (increment of 314 %). Feedback received indicated a high level of satisfaction with program content, audiovisual transmission and ease of technical preparation. Upper gastrointestinal luminal endoscopy-related topics were the most favored program content. Those topics were presented mainly via case studies with a focus on management challenges. Time zone differences of more than 6 hours and poor engineering cooperation were independently associated with inactive participation (P values of 0.04 and 0.001 respectively). Conclusions Good program content and high-quality audiovisual transmission are keys to the success of an endoscopic medical teleconference. In our analysis, poor engineering cooperation and discordant time zones contributed to inactive participation while connectivity with REN and a country’s economic situation were not significantly associated with participant enthusiasm.

“…However, limited thought is being given to the barrier of hands-on learning and virtual delivery mechanisms, even though the emphasis on telemedicine, telepsychiatry, and telesurgery continues to increase. 17,18 Minh et al 19 highlighted not only the growing use of telemedicine, but also the portability and mobility of devices and soft codec applications that include VidyoÔ (Vidyo, Hackensack, NJ) and other proprietary products. Consistent, however, is the push for use of standards-based applications, which in some universities had been lacking, as video components were purchased for learning management systems that are not interoperable or ITU standards-based, leading to islands of connectivity.…”

Background: Ultrasound has become a major diagnostic tool in many parts of the world, with broad clinical applications. Ultrasound provides a noninvasive, painless mode of diagnostics that produces instant results. Disseminating ultrasound skills to remote and rural communities has become a challenge for many medical schools, particularly those where distances are great and the density of population is low. Materials and Methods: The University of California, Irvine School of Medicine and the University of New England School of Rural Medicine in Australia piloted the use of dual video feeds in two scenarios: (1) to display the instructor's ultrasound feed and the instructor's transducer placement to provide guidance for remote students; and (2) to display side-by-side views of the instructor's and the remote student's ultrasound feeds to allow the instructor to guide the remote student in his or her transducer placement. Results and Conclusions: Using high-speed broadband connections, the two schools demonstrated the feasibility of remote, synchronous, practical, and hands-on ultrasound training and instruction over international distances. This opens up a broad range of possibilities for future remote ultrasound education.
