ATA is pleased to announce an open video contest on the theme “Expect Telemedicine Because Telemedicine Works,” with over 16 thousand dollars in total cash prizes. This contest is designed to promote the value and importance of telemedicine, mHealth and remote monitoring to patients, the public and healthcare administrators.

Submitted videos must be 30 seconds OR 60 seconds in length and should focus on one of the following objectives:

• Evoking consumer awareness, interest and demand for telemedicine services so that they will help promote its growth and use

When illustrating the value of telemedicine, videos may focus on the issues of medical access, affordability, equity, quality of care, timeliness or any other benefit.
