The New England Medical Center (NEMC) is a world-class, academic medical institution. Home to two full-service hospitals dedicated to all levels of adult and pediatric care, the Medical Center is also the principal teaching hospital for Tufts University School of Medicine, and pioneers groundbreaking research, including numerous clinical trials available exclusively at NEMC.
Dr. Neil J. Halin, D.O., F.S.C.V.I.R., is the chief of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology at New England Medical Center/Tufts University School of Medicine. As part of his everyday duties as staff radiologist, Dr. Halin instructs Tufts University medical students in the Radiology department and lectures on ways to improve workflow and work environment ergonomics. This teaching requires the delivery of presentations including digital X-rays and digital photos, as well as examining patients’ X-rays in preparation for medical care.
Constantly transporting a bulky laptop around the hospital was inconvenient, but necessary, with the number of presentations and digital photos Dr. Halin needed to display on a regular basis. Many doctors in today’s medical practice use handheld devices to keep track of patient records and prescriptions, and Dr. Halin also uses a handheld to monitor the status of patients and keep up-to-date with staff activities. As Dr. Halin began to face an increased number of presentations, he needed a dedicated mobile device for displaying images that would replace his laptop, and he considered purchasing a second laptop computer.
After reading an online review of the MARGI Presenter-to-Go, Dr. Halin realized he could save hundreds of dollars by purchasing this accessory for his Handspring Visor instead of a second laptop. Presenter-to-Go’s quick installation and boot-up allows professionals like Dr. Halin to present slides and digital images both ‘on the spot’ to colleagues, and in formal presentations to large groups. By compressing large slides onto any handheld device, Dr. Halin can display virtually any image directly from his Handspring Visor onto a VGA monitor or projector. The infrared remote control allows Dr. Halin to control the demonstration conveniently, without holding on to his handheld device. And, with increased security at airports Presenter-to-Go also saves time for frequent travelers like Dr. Halin when passing through airport security checkpoints that may cause laptop owners additional delays. Presenter-to-Go provides the ideal laptop replacement for effective presentations, increasing productivity and is saving users valuable time and money.
Quote: “I purchased my Handspring Visor with Presenter-to-Go in mind. Not only did I save the cost of a laptop computer, but I am constantly amazed by Presenter-to-Go’s ability to handle graphic images such as x-rays and digital photos, which I use regularly in my presentations.”
