Portable pad aids interaction

The installation of this portable interactive technology has equipped the hospital’s clinical skills department with a powerful, flexible and visual display tool. Roger Smith, clinical skills manager, explained why: “The majority of our work is practical, but we need to be able to switch easily between demonstrating a procedure like venesection to effectively presenting written reference material. “The Presenta pad can be stored safely in the AV unit – away from the danger of damage from beds being wheeled around – and then, when needed, be switched on to give immediate access to a fully interactive presentation tool.” A wireless graphics tablet, the product provides the freedom to roam around the room or work closely with a group while still maintaining interactive control of the presentation. Linking to a laptop and projector, it allows the trainer to control a PC via the pad and annotate over projected material.
