OptPortal Sage
Among the news in technology applied to education announced by the director of Bahiana, the granting of use of the system was highlighted OptPortal Sage which allows the processing of images in 4K ultra definition (image optimization four times greater than full-HD) with the possibility of interactivity for users in different locations. To grant the benefit, the National Research Network, linked to the Ministry of Science and Technology (MCT), launched, in 2012, a national public notice in which projects that best use the technology should be registered.

According to the Postgraduate, Research and Extension coordinator at Bahiana, Dr. Kátia Sá, “the projects needed to be registered jointly by two institutions. Twelve projects were then enrolled, but only two were awarded, one of which was authored by Bahiana, with the Hospital Santa Izabel as a partner”. The tool will allow the video transmission, for educational purposes, of clinical sessions and surgeries directly from the hospital to the Bahiana and vice versa. The other project contemplated is authored by the Universidade Federal Fluminense in partnership with the Aeronautics.
