Conclusion
• “Big Data” in health is using existing/available information to
support better delivery of better care.
• It’s not special: it’s just health.
• It’s not how big it is, it’s how you use it.
The convergence of biology, informatics, and engineering is turning
healthcare into an information industry.
Mario Castañeda, CBET, BS, MBA, National Director of the Clinical
Technology Department at Kaiser Permanente

“[T]he effectiveness of telehealth is currently limited by
positioning telehealth outside the mainstream of healthcare”
Mitchell, DCITA report, 2
1999
From imagination to impact
Too much data, ill-used
“Current medical practice relies
heavily on the unaided mind to
recall a great amount of detailed
knowledge – a process which, to
the detriment of all
stakeholders, has repeatedly
been shown unreliable”
Robert M. Crane and Brian Raymond
The Permanente Journal
Winter 2003 Volume 7 No.1

Healthcare: a systemic change is needed

Information shifts this balance

Scaling status quo does not help

But: it’s not only “the system” at fault
“Health informatics has been technology driven
and IT creators have misconceptions about how
clinical work is done, what characterises workers
and their environment, what problems they
face, and how they will use the artifact.”

Redcliffe Hospital study, 2011

•

About 15k~20k providers (Health Info. Systems)
Limited interoperability incentive
Web-interface (PCEHR) but no analytics API
Privacy!
Access (clinicians  developers)
Adoption path: clinical champions, health systems

Huge potential for community engagement

Wearables

• About 15m~20m providers (sensors, software, apps)
• No interoperability incentive, no standards
• Privacy … but many people don’t care
• Access often local
• Adoption path: sports : wellness : community benefit
From imagination to impact

15
But delivery will be via mobile video

Video accounts for 37% of mobile data.

It's a very sobering feeling to
be up in space and realize
that one's safety factor was
determined by the lowest
bidder on a government
contract.

IT innovation: Old vs new

• IT solutions in-house or
procured
• Data never leaves
– Security by lock down

• National (central)
innovation applied
locally

• IT solutions by
community; in-house
evaluation
• Data security, open design
• Innovation local, grows
nationally

Health data (old)

Old way: Lots of data stores, no interoperability

From imagination to impact

21
New way: Keep the data, use it better

Restful services

Why?
• Change the culture of care delivery: ICT part of the oxygen
• Encourage bottom-up innovation
– Matched to strategic (top-down) goals

• Co-design, co-develop, co-deploy.
– And then scale

• No “death by pilot-itis”
• No faith-based system changes
“Scientists reproduce results; engineers build impressive and
enduring artifacts; and theologians muse about what they
believe but can’t see or prove.”
Ted Pederson, Empiricism is not a matter of faith
From imagination to impact

27
The Lab Philosophy
• Everyone’s skin in the game
– No cash for “research pilots”.
– Unsustainable business models need not apply.

• Open. Web based. HTML 5.
– No lock-in. Open source, open access, achieve standards
– Restful API’s, open data standards, privacy built in (not locked)

• Mobile by defaults
• Keep it real
– Lab has consumers, practitioners, developers, researchers, students
all co-located. No room for “not-invented-here”
From imagination to impact

28
Health challenge: 10 bed hospital
• What would a health-system look like if
– 10-beds were the “norm” for hospitals?
– In-home was the “norm” for care?
– Tertiary hospitals were the “weapon of last resort?”

Clinical Information Processing

Use the data that is already
captured; to trigger early
warnings.

32
From imagination to impact

33
Technology demonstrator
• Testing with partners
– Use clinical notes to
improve detection
– Web-app visualization
– Mobile data

• Keep it useful for
clinicians and then
– Get the data we need.

Clinical Information Processing
Nurses,
Are you tired of wasting time
writing handover notes?
Just talk.
Let the computer sort it out.

From imagination to impact

35
Nursing handover
• Social: nurses talk, in a group, at bedside
• Information passed at shift-change
– And recorded on paper records 8+ hours later

• Information is lost
– Errors: adverse events, medication errors, omissions etc.

• Workflow is inefficient
– Time wasted, frustrating

Nurses want to have speech recorded, but not like this.

Sports analysis: gateway drug for population health

“The stats of exercise are really important to me to check out my
performance”
Cross-country skier Colby Rook uses the device for training
From imagination to impact
From engagement to solution
• Problem “how can we track performance?”
– Approached by Australian Institute of Sport to quantify training
– Paper notes are impossible to search, time-consuming to fill and often
missing records.

Technology demonstrator

• In use at Aust. Institute
Sport for last 18 months
• Commercialisation
