The Dr. Oz Show chooses Ubiqus’ Audience Response System and Services
October 2010 – The Ubiqus Live Events team loaded up our keypads and headed to NBC Studios for a taping of the Dr. Oz Show. The episode incorporated our keypad system to solicit feedback from the studio audience, who were asked to weigh in on some interesting health concerns facing our children's generation. Dr. Oz used the keypads to gauge the audience's experience on various topics, including medical mysteries, vitamins, and winterizing the body. The results were then used as the basis of the episode's main discussion. Ubiqus is always excited to see their voting systems used for what they were made for—to gather instantaneous results from the audience at the click of a button.UN Week
