First Real-Time, Interactive Healthcare Conference Held in Second Life

October 16, 2007

The Center for Connected Health, a division of Partners HealthCare, is bridging the gap between the
real world and the virtual 'metaverse' that is Second Life, with the first real-time, interactive healthcare conference to take place in both worlds.

As part of the Center's annual Connected Health symposium, October 22-23 at Harvard Medical's Conference Center, live sessions on healthcare and technology, disease management and patient-centered care, will be streamed into the 'Connected Health Island' in Second Life. While live video of the entire conference will be available to view, there will also be the opportunity to attend a live and interactive simulcast of the panel specifically focused on healthcare and its place in the virtual world.
