The Capital Area Consortium on Aging and Disability (CACAD) of Albany, NY, partnered with NYNEX and the James A. Eddy Memorial Geriatric Center ("The Eddy"), a non-profit provider of services to the aged and disabled, to conduct a trial to investigate the use of video conferencing as a platform for providing health care services to the home. The trial, which took place from June to September of 1994 at The Eddy in Troy, New York had three goals: Determine what quality of video is needed to provide 2-way communication for home care applications. Develop a list of potential applications that could be supported by video communications. Identify "ease of use" and ergonomic issues associated with a video link for home health.
