Video Recording for Healthcare Research Labs

Product Features

HD Video & High Quality Audio

The VALT software integrates with the latest IP camera technology. Observe in real-time or review recorded high definition video in 1080p resolution. Auto-gaining discrete microphones provide high-quality perfectly synchronized audio, great for picking up soft voices.

Scalability

A single software instance can support an unlimited number of cameras, users, and departments while keeping content segmented and secure.

Markers

Tag specific points within a recording either during live observation or during the review process. These points can have searchable descriptions associated with them. Such “markers” are great for providing feedback or can be used for research purposes. A marker allows users to easily jump right to that point in the video, similar to chapters in a DVD.

Security & Compliance

With comprehensive user management rights, a detailed audit log and optional encryption, our video solution offers some of the most advanced security features in the market. These built-in features can help maintain your compliance standards for clinical research video (HIPAA/HITECH).

VALT Software for Healthcare Research Centers

Our video for healthcare labs and focus groups is rendered in standard .mp4 format and uses h.264 compression, minimizing demands on the network. No lag time means that your recorded video is immediately available for viewing.

The VALT video software supports a feature known as “Talkback”, which lets remote observers speak to the session organizers or participants in real-time. “Talkback” is particularly useful when study conductors wish to ask new material or elaborate on a previous point without physically interrupting the study session.

VALT Advantages for Healthcare Research Labs

Multi-Camera Support: Record from dozens of individual cameras simultaneously, ideal for large-scale medical or behavioral research studies and focus groups.
Centralized Storage: Utilizes a central server to store all video content, simplifying management.
Easy Installation: Set up IP cameras and audio equipment without bulky recording devices. Configuration is straightforward and efficient.
High-Quality Audio/Video: IP cameras are paired with auto-gaining microphones. Background noise and hum are minimized for clear sound quality.
Flexible Recording Options: Cameras can be adjusted for any viewing angle and can be fixed or moveable.Multiple cameras can be placed in a single room to capture diverse perspectives.
Seamless Control: Recordings can be started and stopped instantly from within the room or by a remote observer in real-time.
User-Friendly Review Process: Access recorded sessions through a standard internet browser. A typical installation accommodates nearly 20,000 hours of high-definition video, with larger storage options available.
Organized Video Library: Each session is tagged with metadata for easy retrieval. Build an expansive library of medical research recordings, available for future viewing and analysis with just a click.

Research Recording and Observation Software

How can audio/video (A/V) recording benefit our healthcare research lab?

Audio/video recording can significantly enhance your healthcare research by providing accurate and detailed documentation of your sessions and focus groups. Our A/V system allows you to capture high-definition video and audio, giving you a comprehensive record of your research for analysis and future reference. Building a digital library of your sessions allows you to easily access and review your data, leading to more accurate assessments and conclusions.

Can we scale the IVS audio/video recording system to meet our growing research needs?

Absolutely! Our audio/video recording solution is highly scalable. A single software instance can support unlimited cameras, users, and departments while keeping your content secure and segmented. Our system can grow with you as your research lab grows and evolves, ensuring you can always record and manage your sessions effectively.

How can we ensure the security and compliance of our recorded research data?

We understand the importance of security and compliance in healthcare research. Our audio/video solution offers advanced security features, including comprehensive user management rights, detailed audit logs, and optional encryption. These built-in features can help you maintain compliance with standards such as HIPAA, giving you peace of mind while handling sensitive research data.

Can we easily find and review specific moments within our recorded sessions?

Our system includes a feature called "markers" that allows you to tag specific points within a recording, either during live observation or later during review. You can add searchable descriptions to these markers, making it easy to find and jump to key moments in your research videos. This feature is particularly useful for providing feedback or conducting in-depth analysis of your sessions.

How can we record research sessions that take place outside of our lab facilities?

We offer a mobile capture app called Beam that turns your smartphone or tablet into a mobile recording device. With Beam, you can easily record focus groups and research sessions in the field without any setup or participant recall required. The video recorded with Beam automatically syncs with your VALT server, instantly adding your mobile research recordings to your centralized video library.

What support do you provide for installing and implementing your audio/video recording system?

At IVS, we work closely with every customer to ensure a successful installation and implementation of our audio/video recording solution. We provide a complete turnkey system.. Our team is dedicated to supporting you throughout the process, from initial setup to ongoing maintenance and troubleshooting, to ensure you get the most value from our audio/video system in your healthcare research lab.

What Types of Disorders does Healthcare Research Focus on?

Behavioral disorders are harder to precisely quantify than are physical disorders. Behavioral disorders fall into five broad categories — anxiety disorders, disruptive behavior disorders, dissociative disorders, pervasive development disorders, and emotional disorders.

Anxiety disorders, such as panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, are serious conditions that require treatment. By capturing treatment sessions with digital video, a more accurate assessment of the condition and treatment is possible.

Examples of disruptive behavior disorders include conduct disorder and, most famously, ADHD or attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder. Video can be used to record behavioral disorder studies without outside interruption, as well as to build a video database of case studies.

Emotional behavior disorders affect a person’s ability to be happy. Eating disorders and depression are common examples of emotional disorders. Countless research studies focus on treating eating disorders or depression — video is a great tool for recording treatment sessions for future review and analysis.

Pervasive development disorders (often called autism spectrum disorders) are headed by autism and Asperger’s syndrome. The absence of any physical or biochemical tests for these disorders means that behavioral study is the only way to conduct research. Video recording of autism spectrum disorders drives more accurate surveys and conclusions.
