Attendees at the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) 2008 annual meeting in Chicago explored the latest technological innovations in patient education at the Info-Surge exhibition booth. Info-Surge, a company that designs custom online patient education courses, presented demonstrations of its innovative product, including new 3D videos designed to educate patients about breast augmentation procedures.

Visitors to the booth commented that they appreciated the visual attractiveness of the new education videos without the use of explicit graphics and images that can intimidate potential patients. Computer demonstrations of the Info-Surge patient education system highlighted the system's ease of use, its ability to save surgical practices time and money on educating patients, and tools for achieving overall improvements in practice management by delivering consistent educational messages while documenting all patient participation and comprehension.

Eran Kabakov, Info-Surge CEO, said, "The turnout for this year's ASPS meeting exceeded our expectations. We have participated in ASPS meetings for three years, but this was the first year that I've seen such a great response beginning with the opening day. Our goals were to gain new surgeon clients and foster new strategic relationships; I am very happy with the results. We received many inquiries about our online patient education system, and a few surgeons signed with us on the spot. I thank our many visitors for making this year's meeting a winning event for us."

Larry Goldsmith, VP of Business Development for Info-Surge, said, "I was very pleased that many young, aspiring surgeons were particularly interested in learning more about our online patient education system. The discussions we had with them demonstrated to us that our technology is completely in tune with what young plastic surgeons' expectations and plans are for developing their future practices."

The Info-Surge online patient education system serves the needs of plastic and aesthetic surgeons by providing the ideal solution to the following patient education challenges:

- Patient's confusion about medical jargon
- Risk of frivolous litigation
- Increasing time demands on staff
- Difficulty of achieving thorough informed consent
- Time-consuming education seminars
