Health 2.0 innovators, enthusiasts, providers and experts came out for AbilTo’s demo at the August edition of the Health 2.0 NYC Meetup on August 18th, 2010 at MultiVu PR. The demo was presented by AbilTo CEO, Michael Laskoff.
AbilTo was well-received by Meetup attendees. Laskoff primarily discussed how AbilTo uses Web 2.0 applications to eliminate geographic barriers and fundamentally change traditional approaches to therapy. Using the full suite of APIs available via TokBox, AbilTo has been able to seamlessly integrate video communications into their web experience. The intuitive video chat capability allows AbilTo clients to meet virtually with a therapist, coach or both without having to download software.
Attendees eagerly inquired about collaboration between providers, the ease and effectiveness of evidence-based methods delivered via video conferencing, confidentiality and HIPAA compliance, EMRs and client and provider screening processes.
The August Health 2.0 NYC Meetup was hosted by the New York Healthcare Technology Group – Health 2.0 NYC (http://www.health20nyc.com), a group dedicated to discussing technology innovations that focus on the patient. They look for start-ups and individuals to present technologies such as e-prescribing, social healthcare, innovative use of devices, consumer driven health, data mining, process enhancements using technology and more.
