Crowdsource your health | Lucien Engelen | TEDxMaastricht
-
0:23 - 0:26I would have loved a day off today,
by the way. -
0:27 - 0:31I would like to talk to you
about why many ehealth projects fail. -
0:31 - 0:34And I really think
that the most important thing of it -
0:34 - 0:36is that we stopped listening to patients.
-
0:37 - 0:39And one thing we did at Radboud University
-
0:39 - 0:41is we appointed a Chief Listening Officer,
-
0:41 - 0:43which is Corine Jansen,
she's in the audience, -
0:44 - 0:46and is perfectly hosting all the speakers.
-
0:46 - 0:48Please give her a big round of applause.
-
0:48 - 0:50(Applause)
-
0:50 - 0:53You see, the thing she does
is just listen. -
0:53 - 0:55Not in a very scientific way --
-
0:55 - 0:59she puts up a little cup
of coffee or a cup of tea -
0:59 - 1:02and asks patients, family, relatives,
-
1:02 - 1:03"What's up?
-
1:03 - 1:05How could we help you?"
-
1:05 - 1:07And we think, we like to think,
-
1:07 - 1:08that this is one of the major problems
-
1:08 - 1:11why all -- maybe not all --
-
1:11 - 1:12but most of the ehealth projects fail,
-
1:12 - 1:14since we stopped listening.
-
1:15 - 1:16This is my weight scale.
-
1:18 - 1:20It's a very simple thing.
It's got one knob, on/off. -
1:21 - 1:23And every morning I hop on it.
-
1:24 - 1:25And yes, I've got a challenge,
-
1:25 - 1:27as you might see.
-
1:27 - 1:30And I put my challenge on 95 kg.
-
1:30 - 1:33But the thing is that
it's made this simple -
1:34 - 1:35that whenever I hop on,
-
1:35 - 1:38it sends my data to Google Health as well.
-
1:39 - 1:42And it's collected
by my general practitioner as well, -
1:42 - 1:45so he can see what's my problem in weight,
-
1:45 - 1:49not on the very moment
that I need cardiologic support -
1:49 - 1:50or something like it,
-
1:50 - 1:52but also looking backward.
-
1:53 - 1:54But there's another thing.
-
1:54 - 1:56As some of you might know,
-
1:56 - 1:58I've got more than 4000
followers on Twitter. -
1:58 - 2:02So every morning, I hop on my weight scale
-
2:02 - 2:03and before I'm in my car,
-
2:03 - 2:04people start talking to me,
-
2:04 - 2:07"I think you need
a light lunch today, Lucien." -
2:07 - 2:08(Laughter)
-
2:08 - 2:10But that's the nicest thing
that could happen, -
2:10 - 2:12since this is peer pressure.
-
2:12 - 2:15Peer pressure used to help patients --
-
2:15 - 2:17since this could be used for obesity,
-
2:17 - 2:21it could be used
to stop patients from smoking. -
2:21 - 2:22But on the other hand,
-
2:22 - 2:26it also could be used
to get people out of their chairs -
2:26 - 2:29and try to work together
in some kind of gaming activity -
2:29 - 2:32to get more control of their health.
-
2:33 - 2:35And things go faster.
-
2:35 - 2:37And as Daniel streched out already,
-
2:37 - 2:40he said - it will be soon available
next week. -
2:41 - 2:43There will be this little
blood pressure meter. -
2:43 - 2:46connected to an iPhone
or something or other. -
2:46 - 2:49And people will be able, from their homes,
-
2:49 - 2:51to take their blood pressure,
-
2:51 - 2:52send it to their doctor
-
2:52 - 2:55and eventually share it
with others, for instance, -
2:55 - 2:57for over a 100 dollars.
-
2:57 - 3:00And this is the point
where patients get into position -
3:01 - 3:04and can collect,
not only their own control again, -
3:04 - 3:05be captain of their own ship,
-
3:06 - 3:08but also can help us in health care
-
3:08 - 3:10due to the challenges that we face,
-
3:10 - 3:13like health-care cost explosion,
-
3:13 - 3:15doubled demand and things like that,
-
3:16 - 3:19make techniques that are easy to use
-
3:20 - 3:21and everybody can use it,
-
3:21 - 3:25and start with this
to embrace patients in the team. -
3:25 - 3:27And you can do this
with techniques like this, -
3:27 - 3:29but also by crowdsourcing.
-
3:29 - 3:31And one of the things we did,
-
3:31 - 3:34that I would like to share with you
introduced by a little video. -
3:34 - 3:38(Music)
-
4:42 - 4:46(Heart-beat)
-
4:46 - 4:49We've all got
navigation controls in our car. -
4:49 - 4:51We maybe even have it in our cellphone.
-
4:52 - 4:54We perfectly know where all the ATMs are,
-
4:54 - 4:56just about the city of Maastricht.
-
4:56 - 4:59The other thing is we know
where all the gas stations are. -
5:00 - 5:02And sure, we could find fast food chains.
-
5:03 - 5:07But where would be the nearest AED
to help this patient? -
5:08 - 5:10We asked around, and nobody knew.
-
5:11 - 5:15Nobody knew where
the nearest lifesaving AED -
5:15 - 5:16was to be obtained right now.
-
5:17 - 5:19So what we did,
we crowdsourced the Netherlands. -
5:19 - 5:22We set up a website, and asked the crowd,
-
5:22 - 5:24"If you see an AED, please submit it,
-
5:24 - 5:27tell us where it is,
tell us when it's open," -
5:27 - 5:30since sometimes in office hours
it's closed, of course. -
5:30 - 5:33And over 10,000 AEDs in the Netherlands
-
5:33 - 5:35already have been submitted.
-
5:36 - 5:40The next step we took
was to find the applications for it. -
5:40 - 5:41And we built an iPad application.
-
5:42 - 5:45We made an application
for Layar: Augmented Reality, -
5:45 - 5:47to find these AEDs.
-
5:47 - 5:49And whenever you are
in a city like Maastricht, -
5:49 - 5:51and somebody collapses,
you can use your iPhone, -
5:51 - 5:55and within the next weeks
also your Microsoft cellphone, -
5:55 - 5:56to find the nearest AED,
-
5:57 - 5:58which can save lives.
-
5:59 - 6:00And as of today,
-
6:00 - 6:03we would like to introduce this,
not only as AED4EU, -
6:03 - 6:04which is what the product is called,
-
6:04 - 6:06but also AED4US.
-
6:06 - 6:09And we would like to start this
on a worldwide level. -
6:09 - 6:13And ask all of our colleagues
in the rest of the world, -
6:13 - 6:15colleague universities, to help us
-
6:15 - 6:18to find and work and act like a hub
-
6:18 - 6:21to crowdsource all these AEDs
all around the world, -
6:21 - 6:24that whenever you're on holiday
and somebody collapses, -
6:24 - 6:27might it be your own relative
or someone just in front of you, -
6:27 - 6:29you can find this.
-
6:29 - 6:31The other thing we would like to ask
-
6:31 - 6:33is of companies also all over the world
-
6:33 - 6:36that will be able to help us
validate these AEDs. -
6:36 - 6:38These might be courier services
-
6:38 - 6:40or cable guys, for instance,
-
6:40 - 6:42just to see whether
the AED that is submitted -
6:42 - 6:43is still in place.
-
6:44 - 6:45So please help us on this one
-
6:45 - 6:48and try to make not only
health a little bit better, -
6:48 - 6:50but take control of it.
-
6:50 - 6:52And that would be my talk.
-
6:52 - 6:53Thank you.
-
6:53 - 6:55(Applause)
