iPod Touch Initiatives
The AANS changed the landscape of medical meetings during the 2010 AANS Annual Meeting in Philadelphia. To support our first meeting conducted via the iPod touch®, the AANS created a variety of content, in addition to the actual meeting application. Content is specifically developed for viewing on the iPod touch®, and it is available to everyone.
Audio podcasts: a series of podcasts offers a glimpse into the world of neurosurgery and the topics impacting the field today.
Video series: view or download video presentations covering neurosurgical topics, and the socioeconomic factors affecting neurosurgery today. Watch for more videos to be released throughout the year. ( Below )
AANS Meeting Application
Anyone with an iTouch or iPhone can download the meeting application. The neurosurgical publication iChapters, summary of guidelines for metastatic brain tumors, and other features included in that application can be enjoyed by people who did not attend the meeting.
