How to develop innovative health services?
Abstract
Given the aging of population and the raise of healthcare costs in society, there is a strong need for effective healthcare innovations. However, there is a lack of knowledgde in how to effectively develop and deploy ict-mediated healthcare services.
In this tutorial therefore, concepts, tools, building blocks and methodologies will be discussed to develop new health service models.
Special attention is devoted to the effective involvement of users and user-based techniques. A vast amount of research shows that end-user involvement is crucial for adoption of telemedicine services. For IREHI, the tutorial will separate concepts from contexts, yet cover a wide amount of examples of innovative healthcare services from research, education and industry. Among others, we will discuss cases related to smart coaching, physical activity self management, health record utilisation and telepresence. In an interactive part, participants will obtain insight into utilising the discussed methodologies.
