Crowdsource your health | Lucien Engelen | TEDxMaastricht
-
0:00 - 0:05I would like to talk to you
about why many ehealth projects fail. -
0:05 - 0:08And I really think
that the most important thing of it -
0:08 - 0:10is that we stopped listening to patients.
-
0:11 - 0:13And one thing we did at Radboud University
-
0:13 - 0:15is we appointed a Chief Listening Officer.
-
0:15 - 0:16Not in a very scientific way --
-
0:16 - 0:20she puts up a little cup
of coffee or a cup of tea -
0:20 - 0:22and asks patients, family, relatives,
-
0:22 - 0:24"What's up?
-
0:24 - 0:25How could we help you?"
-
0:25 - 0:27And we think, we like to think,
-
0:27 - 0:29that this is one of the major problems
-
0:29 - 0:31why all -- maybe not all --
-
0:31 - 0:33but most of the ehealth projects fail,
-
0:33 - 0:35since we stopped listening.
-
0:35 - 0:37This is my weight scale.
-
0:37 - 0:40It's a very simple thing.
It's got one knob, on/off. -
0:40 - 0:42And every morning I hop on it.
-
0:43 - 0:45And yes, I've got a challenge,
-
0:45 - 0:46as you might see.
-
0:47 - 0:49And I put my challenge on 95 kg.
-
0:50 - 0:52But the thing is that
it's made this simple -
0:52 - 0:54that whenever I hop on,
-
0:54 - 0:56it sends my data to Google Health as well.
-
0:57 - 1:01And it's collected
by my general practitioner as well, -
1:01 - 1:04so he can see what's my problem in weight,
-
1:04 - 1:08not on the very moment
that I need cardiologic support -
1:08 - 1:09or something like it,
-
1:09 - 1:11but also looking backward.
-
1:12 - 1:13But there's another thing.
-
1:13 - 1:14As some of you might know,
-
1:14 - 1:17I've got more than 4000
followers on Twitter. -
1:17 - 1:20So every morning, I hop on my weight scale
-
1:20 - 1:22and before I'm in my car,
-
1:22 - 1:23people start talking to me,
-
1:23 - 1:25"I think you need
a light lunch today, Lucien." -
1:25 - 1:27(Laughter)
-
1:27 - 1:29But that's the nicest thing
that could happen, -
1:29 - 1:30since this is peer pressure.
-
1:30 - 1:33Peer pressure used to help patients --
-
1:34 - 1:36since this could be used for obesity,
-
1:36 - 1:39it could be used
to stop patients from smoking. -
1:39 - 1:41But on the other hand,
-
1:41 - 1:44it also could be used
to get people out of their chairs -
1:44 - 1:48and try to work together
in some kind of gaming activity -
1:48 - 1:50to get more control of their health.
-
1:50 - 1:53As of next week,
it will soon be available, -
1:53 - 1:55there will be this little
blood-pressure meter -
1:55 - 1:58connected to an iPhone
or something or other. -
1:59 - 2:01And people will be able, from their homes,
-
2:01 - 2:03to take their blood pressure,
-
2:03 - 2:05send it to their doctor
-
2:05 - 2:07and eventually share it
with others, for instance, -
2:07 - 2:09for over a 100 dollars.
-
2:09 - 2:12And this is the point
where patients get into position -
2:12 - 2:15and can collect,
not only their own control again, -
2:15 - 2:17be captain of their own ship,
-
2:17 - 2:20but also can help us in health care
-
2:20 - 2:22due to the challenges that we face,
-
2:22 - 2:24like health-care cost explosion,
-
2:24 - 2:26doubled demand and things like that,
-
2:26 - 2:28make techniques that are easy to use
-
2:28 - 2:32and start with this
to embrace patients in the team. -
2:32 - 2:34And you can do this
with techniques like this, -
2:34 - 2:36but also by crowdsourcing.
-
2:36 - 2:38And one of the things we did,
-
2:38 - 2:41that I would like to share with you
introduced by a little video. -
2:41 - 2:45(Music)
-
3:49 - 3:53(Heart-beat)
-
3:53 - 3:56We've all got
navigation controls in our car. -
3:56 - 3:58We maybe even have it in our cellphone.
-
3:58 - 4:01We perfectly know where all the ATMs are,
-
4:01 - 4:03just about the city of Maastricht.
-
4:03 - 4:06The other thing is we know
where all the gas stations are. -
4:06 - 4:08And sure, we could find fast food chains.
-
4:09 - 4:13But where would be the nearest AED
to help this patient? -
4:13 - 4:15We asked around, and nobody knew.
-
4:16 - 4:19Nobody knew where
the nearest lifesaving AED -
4:19 - 4:20was to be obtained right now.
-
4:21 - 4:23So what we did,
we crowdsourced the Netherlands. -
4:23 - 4:26We set up a website, and asked the crowd,
-
4:26 - 4:28"If you see an AED, please submit it,
-
4:28 - 4:31tell us where it is,
tell us when it's open," -
4:31 - 4:34since sometimes in office hours
it's closed, of course. -
4:34 - 4:36And over 10,000 AEDs in the Netherlands
-
4:36 - 4:38already have been submitted.
-
4:38 - 4:41The next step we took
was to find the applications for it. -
4:41 - 4:42And we built an iPad application.
-
4:43 - 4:46We made an application
for Layar: Augmented Reality, -
4:46 - 4:47to find these AEDs.
-
4:47 - 4:50And whenever you are
in a city like Maastricht, -
4:50 - 4:52and somebody collapses,
you can use your iPhone, -
4:52 - 4:56and within the next weeks
also your Microsoft cellphone, -
4:56 - 4:57to find the nearest AED,
-
4:57 - 4:59which can save lives.
-
4:59 - 5:01And as of today,
-
5:01 - 5:03we would like to introduce this,
not only as AED4EU, -
5:03 - 5:05which is what the product is called,
-
5:05 - 5:07but also AED4US.
-
5:07 - 5:10And we would like to start this
on a worldwide level. -
5:10 - 5:12And ask all of our colleagues
in the rest of the world, -
5:13 - 5:15colleague universities, to help us
-
5:15 - 5:17to find and work and act like a hub
-
5:17 - 5:21to crowdsource all these AEDs
all around the world, -
5:21 - 5:24that whenever you're on holiday
and somebody collapses, -
5:24 - 5:27might it be your own relative
or someone just in front of you, -
5:27 - 5:29you can find this.
-
5:29 - 5:30The other thing we would like to ask
-
5:30 - 5:32is of companies also all over the world
-
5:33 - 5:36that will be able to help us
validate these AEDs. -
5:36 - 5:37These might be courier services
-
5:37 - 5:39or cable guys, for instance,
-
5:39 - 5:41just to see whether
the AED that is submitted -
5:42 - 5:43is still in place.
-
5:43 - 5:45So please help us on this one
-
5:45 - 5:48and try to make not only
health a little bit better, -
5:48 - 5:49but take control of it.
-
5:49 - 5:50Thank you.
-
5:50 - 5:52(Applause)

What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxMaastricht, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxMaastricht event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.Please take a look at this video that explains what TEDx has become:
