Outcome measurement in general and project design

Videos

Video files are relatively large, you should only try to download them via a fast Internet connection.

If you want to view the videos multiple times, or if you have relatively slow Internet access, you can download each video file to your computer, and afterwards play it directly from your computer as many times as you want.

  • AnyPak2 Tutorial 1: First questionnaire administration for a new patient. Recording the patient ID, using an RFID token (could also be a barcode scanner, interface to other software, or manual input), using the electronic questionnaire, correcting an answer, automatically generated printout of computed results (German audio track).
    The demo runs on a WeTab Tablet-PC with Intel Atom CPU, touch screen and a simple USB RFID reader. Installed software is Windows 7, PDFCreator, Foxit Reader, and the revised AnyPak package published in June, 2012.
  • AnyPak2 Tutorial 2: Follow-up questionnaire administration for a patient that is already known. Providing the patient ID, patient recognition, using the electronic questionnaire, automatically generated printout with cumulative result (German audio track).
  • AnyPak2 Tutorial 3: How to locate and display results from previous assessments. Automatically produced PDF documents or paper printouts with computed results of a single questionnaire administration, cumulative results, and a representation resembling a filled in questionnaire (German audio track).

How to play the videos:

  • The videos were tested with Media Player Classic (very capable player that consists only of one single program file), Zoom Player, DivX Video Player, totem, kaboodle, QuickTime Player, MS Windows Media Player, as well as diverse installed codecs, e.g. ffdshow.
  • mp4-files: Video: H.264. Audio: AAC.
    The smallest files, but requires the newest player software and the highest computation power.
  • divx-files: Video: DivX MPEG-4 Version 5. Audio: mp3.
  • mpg-files: Video: MPEG-2. Audio: MPEG1-Audio-Layer-II.
    The largest files (or files in lower resolution), can usually be played by older player software, and even by hardware DVD players.
  • Your WWW browser might be able to play videos on its own.
  • If you click on a link, and then see an Apple QuickTime Logo with a questionmark, or a page with seemingly random text on it, your system does not know how to handle the file you just clicked at. Please try a video file in another format in this case, or ask someone who knows about your computer and multimedia for assistance.
