Telemedicine development is an accelerated evolutionary process. The applications are all so exciting. My favorite project right now is the development of the Global Telemedicine Resource Center. It goes back to interventional informatics and couples knowledge systems to humanitarian medical needs. Demonstration projects differ from our ongoing daily, weekly, and monthly services.
Demos are temporary projects that are designed to demonstrate our capabilities.
They bring awareness to healthcare professionals, educators, and the people we serve regarding a new tool and application. They also give us a chance for feedback from potential end users. We then incorporate some of this feedback in further development efforts. We have done lots of different kinds of demos, most recently the Strong Angel exercise. But we always come away from these events with modifications to our technology or new development projects.
