Video iPods in Medical Education
Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial: New Zealand BaseTo determine whether instructional videos via iPods regarding urinary catheterization would increase undergraduate medical students’ confidence and enhance skills competenciesPilot trainee interns; 10 control; 11 intervention~intervention= 3 mos video iPod access~control= no access to technologyResults: Control group decline in skill competency over time; whereas, skill level remained stable for the intervention group.~Intervention group’s confidence levels for performing female catheterization increased significantly over time

Video iPods in Nursing EducationPilot Randomized Controlled Trial: California BaseTo determine whether instructional videos via iPods regarding urinary catheterization would increase nursing students’ confidence and enhance skills competenciesPilot nursing students; 9 control; 7 intervention~intervention= 2 week video iPod access~control= no access to technologyResults: Close to zero variation for skill competency for both groups; Confidence levels did not significantly change over time ~ however, anecdotal notes imply students desire to have high self confidence in performing both male and female urinary catheterizations

iPad uPad?
~Voted #1 of top ten innovations and most tweeted about technology topics in 2010~Short time on the market, however, it is being used in healthcare, business and education~Graduate students introduced to the iPad Fall 2010 and used it to assist them with their patient teaching project in Clinical Sites~Research potential is endless! Annecdotal notes: ~The iPad is visually transfixing~Cutting edge apps, such as Heart Pro, ECG iPocket cards, Nimble, OsiriX HD, Blausen Human Atlas

How effective is YouTube? Should I recommend YouTube or Vimeo?
What is next?

1. Demographics: not everybody is on YouTube (but more and more are).
1. It is hard to find good videos, but there are out there.
1. In most studies, most of the videos were OK (polemic topics are worse).
1. Many good videos are poorly published (lack description, title).
1. Next: Interactive videos, 3D videos.
1. Need for more research: effectiveness, privacy, quality, information retrieval, etc.

IMIA Social Media Working Group - why?
Why not? - because everyone else uses it?
To explore its use – does it have potential or is it all just empty rhetoric – the next 'bubble'?
IMIA's exploration of social media use:- improve communication and interaction with members and the wider community- research the real potential- lead rather than follow- contribute to the evidence-base for use, benefit
![Page 71: Studying and Using Social Media in Academic Research_Paton_Chris](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110113/54504940af79597e078ba8d0/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Some issues:
Is/are social media really that much different?
Do we see the REAL interaction the rhetoric tells us will happen?
The 1% rule - if you get a group of 100 people online then one will create content, 10 will "interact" with it (commenting or offering improvements) and the other 89 will just view it.
How many REALLY interact via social media, as opposed to continue to broadcast?

Some issues:
Are we using/developing new research methods and tools? - do we need to?
What are 'science 2.0' and 'research 2.0' all about? -
Are they simply marketing hype and/or trying to find ways to make money - like 'Health 2.0'?
Is there a 'social good' to them?

Some issues to consider:
… do we have evidence for the value of social media?
… towards thinking about the necessary research agenda
… with rapid evolution of technology, what are best research methods?
… what is the role of social media relative to health?

IMIA and Social Media – The Need to Define a Research Agenda
- researching collaboration tools and virtual organisations for researchers, and leveraging social tools for data collection;
- exploring the implications (e.g. in human factors engineering, or open source software) of the intersection of health and informatics with social media;
- discussing what are the next steps for social media and academic research, and how IMIA can contribute, especially in collaboration with other organisations and individuals.

IMIA and Social Media – Some Questions for the Research Agenda
“Social media grow more rapidly and less predictably than other types of technology” - true or false?
Technology and technology use seems to be evolving faster than traditional research. By the time you get a grant the technology can be outdated, so traditional RCTs are far too slow.
So does this mean that we can’t necessarily use the same tools we have previously used to research and study them?

IMIA and Social Media – Some Questions for the Research Agenda
Are there geographic or cultural differences in uses of and/or attitudes to social media?
What effect will increasing mobile access and use of 'apps' versus the web have?
What are the effects of the consumer drivers/expectations producing change faster than healthcare and scientific institutions can adapt to?

IMIA and Social Media – Some Questions for the Research Agenda
“Health IT systems will soon become social media applications” - true or false?
Will EHRs be built around social networks of patients, their carers and healthcare providers? - a significantly different model from how current EHRs operate - but this change will happen quickly and contracts are currently being signed to develop these systems.
How will health professionals adapt?

IMIA and Social Media – Some Questions for the Research Agenda
Is it possible to determine a priori which technologies or systems will be more cost-effective?
Social media allows many different possibilities and therefore uses and ethical challenges. Privacy, control, etc. will become even more important issues in the future.
Will social networking help students learn in healthcare courses?

IMIA and Social Media – Some Questions for the Research Agenda
Tools or attitudes – or something different?
Open data, open access, open collaboration etc
Because we can reach more people, data, interaction etc – does this mean we WILL get the ones we want, the best, the most appropriate etc? - signal versus noise
