Description

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.

 

Learning Objectives

  • Identify ethical, regulatory, and liability issues associated with research using audio-visual (AV) data collection.
  • Describe the role of organizational readiness in implementing video recordings in a hospital (highly confidential) setting.
  • Explain the role of participant engagement in informing study design and facilitating study conduct.
  • Understand the roles of technological limitations and environmental contexts when collecting data with mobile devices.
