About this Webinar

Learn about using mobile audio-visual (AV) recording devices in sensitive settings (such as a hospital intensive care unit or other patient-facing environment). The webinar describes ethical and regulatory issues associated with AV-based research, including how data collection and the technology used affects privacy and confidentiality, the informed consent process, legal/liability risks, and the issue of bystanders.

Additionally, the presenters discuss implementation considerations such as organizational readiness and participatory design strategies. The webinar concludes with real-world examples of technological and practical challenges, and both planned and mid-study adaptations to such challenges.
