Health Informatics @ Manchester Meeting
04 Jul 2012
A meeting for cross-disciplinary researchers with an interest in eHealth to share skills and encourage collaboration.
The third HI@M meeting is to be held on 9 July 2012 (2.30-5pm) in Room G306b, Jean McFarlane Building (building 92 on the campus map).
The meeting is to focus on the co-production observation with patients and the use of mobile technologies to enable this. This is a major theme in government thinking: the Information Strategy has signalled the empowerment of the patient by ‘Putting us all in control of the health and care information we need’. This was also one of the key themes in the recent HeRC proposal in which we will concentrate on the development of technologies for capturing patient reported outcomes and monitoring health status. The meeting agenda with brief speaker biographies are below.
Agenda
2.30pm Welcome and update - Will Dixon/Georgina Moulton
2.45pm Patient access to records (15 minutes) - Amir Hanan/Patient - Yvonne Bennett
Dr. Amir Hanan is a full-time general practitioner in Hyde, UK. Developing a "Partnership of Trust" between patient and clinician, he has enabled over 11% of his patients (more than 1,300) citizens to access their GP electronic health record online, helping them to self care and become eMPOWERed. He has also set up an innovative health 2.0 website for his practice, Haughton Thornley Medical Centres, putting patients, managers and clinicians at the heart of healthcare, giving them "control" and enabling "Real-time Digital Medicine".
3pm Mobile technologies to Improve Patient Care (15 mins) - John Ainsworth
John Ainsworth is a Senior Research Fellow and Deputy Director of NIBHI. He leads on innovative informatics solutions to improve healthcare and is affiliated with a number of projects across the University. John is a key member of the m-health ecosystem.
3.15pm ClinTouch: Mobile Assessment Technology for Schizophrenia (15 minutes) - Jasper Palmier-Claus
Schizophrenia is a major public health challenge. Current treatments are limited and, in the absence of reliable markers of disease or of treatment response, evaluation of new treatments is cumbersome. Treatments are evaluated by patient recall of symptoms a week or month later, a process subject to averaging and biased recollection. The aim of this project is to develop and evaluate a web-based remote data capture system for recording momentary symptom data in ambulant subjects.
3.30pm Refreshments
3.50pm Spotlight on PatientsLikeUs (25 minutes) - Paul Wicks
Paul Wicks, PhD, is the director of research and development (R&D) at PatientsLikeMe. An internationally recognized expert in psychological aspects of neurodegenerative conditions, Dr. Wicks is responsible for shaping the scientific and medical validity of the PatientsLikeMe platform. As R&D director, he leads a team of experts charged with conducting scientific research that generates insights from the personal health data shared by patient members.
4.15pm PROMs2.0 (15 minutes) - Bibhas Roy
Bibhas Roy is a specialist shoulder and elbow surgeon and Clinical IT Secondary Care Lead for NHS North West. His recent work focuses on the development of a web-based tool that collects patient reported outcome measures for shoulder surgery. His work has been widely reported including reports in eHealthInsider.
4.30pm Structured Discussion – How can you use mobile technologies?
