<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br><br>I've an idea. I don't really know if it'll work...<br><br>I think rather than doing a video streaming, it might be better to use
Web 2.0 and send a series of 'good' quality still images. I do not know
about the feasibility factor but I think this would be a better option
than video conferencing. Especially in developing countries where large
bandwidth connections are rare and expensive. Web 2.0 will work just
fine for the prupose.<br>
I'm not really sure of what I've written though ;) but I would like to hear your comments on this.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Warm regards,<br>
<br>

<div dir="ltr"><div>I sense that there are a lot of new and yet-to-be-discovered ways to use these kind of low-bandwidth capabilities for health (including consultation, collaboration, and education).

<div>> but those are not all cases.<br>
<br>
</div>exactly. There's a lot of fun to be had, and a lot to learn with this.<br>
Might be useful in some cases (perhaps growing number of cases, if<br>
connectivity improves over time) and more things become viable.<br>
<br>
For health purposes, it will probably not be useful, except for a tiny<br>
% of cases. If people want health tools, that's a different project.<br>
<br>
Let's refocus that camera on collaboration and education.<br>
