Healthcare as in Health-and-Care or Integrated Health and Social Care. In Scotland.
Just a notion, about linking up things that are going on. It might look like apps, but fundamentally, it's about data.
Oh, and please see explanatory notes, on the slides where these apply.

A wild-eyed Idea
2. nutshell
“So what’s the High Concept then?” (this
conversation is taking place in Hollywood)…
“Well, it’s sort of What’s Important to You meets
Ginsberg, meets Person-centred Planning…”
“Oh, right…ah, right…!” (hopefully)

It’s the data, stupid…
• Tools come and go. Conversations are the
thing
• And telling everybody to use the same tool
might be attractive, but would involve
unfeasibly large amounts of behaviour change
from all across the supplier/user spectrum
• Whereas data, once created, can be made to
pop up all over, can be referred to over time,
is vastly expensive to generate, but equally
valuable in the scheme of things..
Editor's Notes
It is difficult to over-state the current (2014) emphasis given, in policy circles at least, to ‘The What’s Important to You Conversation’. Health and Social Care Integration, in Scotland, has to happen at the level of the individual (part of Person-centred Care), as well as between organisations. Developing the capacity for all involved, to have meaningful WITTY conversations, is crucial to the endeavour.
This slide shows various notepads created by people attending a Self-Directed Support workshop I was contributing to, in Stornoway, in spring 2014.
At the bottom right is a screenshot of the WITTY iPad app that IRISS developed, after an interesting project on practitioner-person conversations, that they had worked on with East Dunbartonshire communities.
The app can be found via this page: http://www.iriss.org.uk/resources/witty-whats-important-you
The original project report (very interesting reading) can be found here: http://www.iriss.org.uk/resources/social-assets-action-evaluation-report?
This is ‘Just a picture’. One can drag placeholders in, drop them onto the circles, write in little text boxes, etc. One can save it today, change it next month and save that version, and compare the two, over time.
The conversation that it triggers, supports, and later reminds us of is the important thing. Pictures are important as conversation pieces – for many people, more effective than text.
The other day, looking at this again, I wondered “wouldn’t it be interesting if, when I touched the running woman icon, something happened?” Like
triggering a search for nearby exercise resources?
Pinging a message to a social network asking if anyone fancied a run?
Showing me my tracked exercise patterns (assuming I did exercise) (see below)
Here my Ginsberg app (https://www.ginsberg.io/) sends me a daily reminder to answer three questions (which I have selected from a wider range) on how I’m feeling. I’m beginning to generate a set of data points. I could track my exercise, weight, sleep, diet, in the same way, or automatically via a wearable device and API with my personal store in the Ginsberg cloud. I can annotate my record with diary entries, tag stuff, etc
At the moment (this is early days for Ginsberg) one’s data is visualised as a sort of ‘vital signs’ timeline from which insights can be derived (It’s up to you – no-one (at least from Ginsberg) is rubbing your nose in things. They’re making the data available.
What if it could be made to surface elsewhere besides??
Along with the What’s Important to You Conversation, person-centred planning is high up on the policy priority list. Think…“Self-Directed Support”…?!? (the CarrGomm ‘Click-Go’ (http://carrgomm.org/click-go) app – see screenshot at lower centre - is directly centred on this instance of PCP). The other two screenshots are just placeholders, examples of the many PCP applications available.
Surfacing quantified self data in this context could reference it to the sort of goals (I want to get sufficiently mobile to attend my grand-daughter’s wedding) that motivate us all.
Promoting these sorts of apps enable – as a by-product – community-based practitioners to run their rosters digitally. And their institutions to have an idea where they are, in case members of Betty’s care circle anxiously enquire…
