Registration
Open
Friday, May 21
11am EDT
Telehealth at the Library
Speakers:
"These kiosks are designed to provide a solution for Delawareans who need privacy and high-speed Internet access for telehealth visits, job interviews, legal appointments, and more."
Nick
Martin, Emerging Tech & Telehealth Consultant for the Delaware Division of Libraries, stated, “This project started back in 2018 when I came on board as an AmeriCorps VISTA focused on
emerging technology."
Dianne
Connery, Pottsboro TX, Super Librarian: “In the past couple of months we’ve had some behavioral health, weight loss management, and dermatology appointments. Many of our patients don’t
have the Internet at home.”
"Is there a way for libraries to get funding so that libraries aren't in the position of providing yet more services without additional funding?"
Craig
Settles, Author / Consultant: "Libraries reach out and touch virtually everyone in their communities across the entire economic spectrum and that they should explore partnering with innovative
medical practices and insurance companies to offer basic services to their patrons."
