2nd Health Systems Design Special Interest Group Workshop

ICED 2021 Workshop - 16 August 2021

This workshop was a hackathon style event whereby a health challenge (Preventing hospitalisation by self monitoring) was put to participants to solve in the allotted time-period. The idea is that the hackathon challenge jointly defined with Astra Zeneca forms the core of the workshop. The aim was to benefit from a cross-fertilisation of approaches, enabling groups to generate their concept propositions, crystallised in a canvas. The Health Systems Design SIG Co-chairs introduced the overall approach the SIG takes to healthcare improvement in three ignite talks. The talks were given by DTU – Technical University of Denmark, TU Delft and the University of Cambridge around their individual yet complementary strategies for healthcare improvement. The group work was followed by discussions of each proposed solution/innovation canvas and a vote for the most innovative.
