# 1.3 History of videorecording in healthcare

While the use of video review in healthcare feels like a recent phenomenon, its roots stretch back several decades. Here's a look at its evolution:

## Early pioneers: <a href="#early-pioneers" id="early-pioneers"></a>

* 1960s/70s: Pioneering center used closed-circuit television to record procedures for immediate self-review and teaching purposes within emergency medical care.
* Focus on Technical Skills: Initial use primarily centered on assessing individual surgical technique and providing targeted feedback.
* Equipment Challenges: Bulky equipment and limited storage options posed early barriers to widespread adoption.
