Touchscreen document archive

A client required a medical poster upload portal to include mandatory professional fields such as author(s), disclaimers and affiliations. All posters would then be displayed on a series of interactive touchscreen displays at the event venue as a sustainable alternative to print.

Our upload portal would handle resolutions and dimensions such that all posters displayed correctly on the touchscreens, where they could be searched by author, title or keyword. In turn, posters could be transferred to an attendee’s mobile device by scanning its QR code or tapping an NFC tag.

Historically, posters would have been submitted to the client by email and manually proofed with sizing/resolution a regular pain-point that our solution addressed.

Upload portal

In previous years, the client had handled user submissions manually. Our solution included an upload portal, with 24hr instant chat support for anybody who needed help.

Formatting

Submissions were graphics and image based, so specific resolutions and dimensions were necessary to ensure content was of optimum quality on the signage screens. Our submission form included cropping functionality and required files to meet minimum resolution requirements.

Automation

By automating these tasks, the client was relieved of what had historically been a time consuming and manual process.

Browse PDFs

At the event, users would approach any touch screen and browse the PDFs which were displayed at random to ensure all had equal visibility. Tabs below each PDF detailed authors, synopsis and disclosures.

Search content

As well as browsing, users could use a single search form to seek PDFs by specific authors or which contained keywords or topics.

Full screen mode

Clicking any PDF would open it in full screen mode on the signage. After a pre-determined period of inactivity the signage would reset to its homescreen, ready for the next user.

Mobile transferable

Users could scan signage QR codes to take content away on their mobile devices.

Full functionality

All search functionality also transfers to the mobile view, so users can carry on researching beyond their time at the signage screen.

Sustainable

By utilising touch screens and users' own devices, all print requirements for the event were eliminated.
