Improving Patient Medical Education With Video

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

There are many ways video is already being incorporated in medical technology. For example, there are many benefits to the use of video capsule endoscopy. A tiny, swallowable device, which includes a light source, an optical lens, a battery, and a transmitter, is ingested. The resulting video sends clearer pictures and helps identify more ailments that were previously more difficult to detect. The procedure is easy to perform, with few complications, and patient approved videos can then be used for further study, research, and in educational materials. When surgical videos are incorporated in educational presentations, the experience can be much more informative and understandable by a variety of viewers. The viewer is better able to relate to the information being presented, and it’s easier for the viewer to retain images, animations, and graphs, than plain text. Physicians are also able to communicate with patients in a more direct manner, and patients have a face to associate with a name or procedure. There is no question video is being used more frequently in many research and educational pursuits, and the medical field is helping lead the way. So if you are a physician or medical professional looking to find new channels for distributing information, video is an enticing way to capture and express your procedures and materials. Also, patients can benefit from viewing and learning from these videos. So remember to include video as an essential part of the plan when bringing your profession to the cutting edge of technology.
