– The capabilities are exciting and full of
potential
– People are using it and we can‟t ignore that
• What we can do?
– Test it ourselves and our patients in clinics
– Assess the potential risks vs benefits
– Always with a critical eye

26. The Digitalization of Medicine
• Digital revolution in other domains
(banking, insurance, leisure, government,…)
• The incorporation of digital systems in healthcare is lagging
behind other sectors:
– Reasons: complexity, privacy, volume of data, lack of
demand
– It has greatly affected healthcare at the hospital or
research centre level.
– The digital revolution has not yet reached medicine at
the patient/citizen level
• BUT THIS IS STARTING TO HAPPEN NOW !!!
27. Consumer engagement
• 75% of patients want to view their
medical records online
• 76% for lab test results
• 65% - appointments by email
• 62% - online communication with theur
primary physician
• Physicians are adopting IT
• Mobile devices and social media

28. Participatory
Health
Regina Holliday
The Society for Participatory
Medicine defines participatory
medicine as a movement in
which networked patients shift
from being mere passengers to
responsible drivers of their
health, and in which medical
care providers encourage and
value them as full partners.
29. Participatory Health
Patients empowered, informed and involved in
decision making, prevention and learning
self tracking devices

Editor's Notes
----- Meeting Notes (4/02/14 13:57) -----Thank you for coming todayI'm pleased to see so many people share my interest in health and technology Today we ar going to give an introduction to the use of social media, web-based interventions and new technologies for participatory health.My name is Sylvia. I'll be the course convenor for the day, and will, hopefully be able ot answer any of your questions about the course. Looking forward to getting to know you all today and hope you enjoy this as much as I know I'm going to.
First of all, just some housekeeping. Toliets are located straight ahead as you head out the door - and then to your left.If there is a fire or an emergency of some kind, the emergency exit is straight outside, where you came in and then we meet across the road next to the form centre at haymarket lanePlease turn your phones to silentOK. we'll I thought I'd briefly tell you about my research interests and area. I finished my PhD in psychology last year and started here at the dgp. I conducted an RCT to investigate the use of a mobile-phone self-monitoring tool with young people who attend GP and may be experiencing mental health problems. We gave young people mobie phones with an app so they could monitor their mood, stress, coping strategies and daily activities up to 4 times a day for 2-4 weeks and then feed this information back to young people with their GPs via a website. We found that self-monitoring increased young people's awareness of their moods and stressors and that awareness, in turn, decreased their depressive symptoms. This study was a worldfirst and now I am working on another youth friendly tool to facilitate help-seeking for ymental health problems. This project, called Link, is funded by the YAWCRC in collaboration with ReachOut. We are developing an online triage program that young people can access online to guide them trhough a series of questions to assess the content of their problem, the severity of the problem and the types of care they would like, such as online chat, online therapy, fact sheets, phonelines or f2f care. We then recommend to young people several options that fit with their choices. We are also conducting an RCT due to start this year.OK. We have tried to make this day as interactive as we can while providing you with the information you'll need. So this morning will be some presentations and this afternoon will be a good chance to discuss your needs and interests. So, I've been to a lot of courses where there is a parking lot, where people can stick up their coments/questions and ideas to refer to later, which I have done at the back of the room. But, I also thought it'd be good to try our new found social media skills and tweet anything you ike during the day and I will refer to these each time before we break. So, if you have anything you want to raise during presentations, please tweet to this hashtag and I'll mention it.
----- Meeting Notes (4/02/14 14:23) -----This is our schedule for the day. It's in your booklets and we'l have regular breaks to network and to refresh. This morning, I'll introduce the course and Fernando will talk about participatory health, social media and self-monitoring. Elizabeth will then discuss web-based interventions. And after lunch we will have a workshop lead by Jane and a panel discussion.
----- Meeting Notes (4/02/14 14:23) -----Just wanted to highlight some of the main findings from the pre-course survey.We have a good representation of univerisity staff, ML, hopstical and clinical staffFairly even spread of those interested in web-based interventions and social media. I neglected to put self-monitoring on the survey, so I'm not sure if anyone has a particular interest in tracking. ONly one person was mainly interested in participatory health and that may be due to the recency of the term.
Should I leave this out?In terms of confidence with social media and web-based interventions, on average, we scored about 2.5/5 on each, a little lower for posting on social media sites and a little higher on professional use, which I found more nteresting as I recently set up the department's social media and struggled a fair amount until Fernando came to my rescue.So, I guess one of the aims of the course today is to lift this to 3 or hopefully 4 to give you all a bit more confidence in using these technologies.
----- Meeting Notes (4/02/14 14:23) -----OK. Why are we here today? We know that the internet is a commonly used resource for the general public today. with over 80% of the population regularly accessing information on line. Interestingly, of this 80%, there is 80% that search for information about health online. That is a significant portion of the population.
----- Meeting Notes (4/02/14 14:23) -----It doesn't stop with the internet though. Most people in australia own a mobile phone.In fact, several people in Asutralia own more than one mobile phone, which is why we have an ownership rate of 130% here.Smartphones - mobiles with internat capabilities, rather than mobiles that just allow you to text and talk, are also prolific with estimates in 2013 ranging from 60 to over 80%This is huge, in America the latest estimates, as far as I'm aware, were 31% smartphone use.People also access information and support about health on their phones. They can call to make an appointment, search for information online, use an app…In fact, there are over 45,000 apps available for the iphone (let alone androids) i the fitness health and medical categories. This is a huge amount of programs available for people about their health.
----- Meeting Notes (4/02/14 14:23) -----I'm just going to briefly introduce you to these concepts today starting with Web 2.0 and ending with participatory health. Fernando will then take over and provide you with more information.
So what is web 2.0?First conception of the internet was the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) in 1963. The internet became publicly available in 1991 with Web 1.0Web 1.0: Producers publish info to consumers. Static. Very text based. Not a lot of sounds or graphics, mostly about connecting to informationWeb 2.0: in 1999. P&C is one and the same. dynamic. Easy interfaces allow users to put up anything they like. Wiki Is a prime example of user driven content.
The beauty of Web 2.0 is that there is no training or particular programming skills needed to post information on the web. Anyone can do it and share or view information.

Social media “a group of internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web/ 2.0. and that allow the creating and exchange of user-generated contentIs the main source of user-driven contentIt is fluid, dynamic, spontaneous, pervasiveConsits of photos, text, sound – in several places. Facebook and twitter – well knownBut also pinterest, youtube, fliker, snapchatUsed for many reasons – primarily social interactions, but can also to connect people about their hobbies, businesses, fanclubs, informationhttp://edudemic.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/social-media-landscape.jpg
Social media has huge potential for clincial practice.Great way to keep informed about recent advances recommendations, epidemicsAble to share your own knowledge with other professionals. Researchers can easliy communicate with clinicians, visa versa. Clinicans can get support from their collagues about a tough caseHas the potential to improve the quality of care of our patients.
Self-monitoring is linked to the increased functionality of web 2.0
We have self-monitoring in terms of sensory eyewear, wrist bands that track exercise and sleep and mobile phone apps that allow you to track your mood and stress, weight, calories, medication, blood sugar and so on.
Increasingly web-based interventions are becoming available and may be useful in the prevention or early intervention of diseases as well as treatment, particularly for hard to reach people in rural communities or when leaving the house is difficult.
Moodgym is a prime example. This is a 12 module course that takes 1 hour each week for 12 weeks and is a structured cognitive behaviour therapy program that you can take instead of seeing a psychologist. It’s also free.There are issues about compliance, but people who complete more that 5 modules have had significantly improvement mental health
Fernando is going to go through participatory health in detail,
but I just wanted to show you this diagram from one of our master’s students last year. Kelvin Lau. He interviewed a range of GPs and asked them about their thoughts on patients bringing in or discussing information that they found on the net. I like this diagram, it really puts it in perspective for me. You can see that the more authorative approach the GP takes the less acceptable patient’s sourcing their own information is. Clincial practice is becoming more and more patient-centred and with it GPs are having greater acceptability of internet sourced information. TKelvin also found a range of ways that GPs dealt with the web information, from the doctor-centred approach with GPs demissing or cencoring information, redirecting or referring to specialists and trustworhysourses of information. Taking the information on board to research themselves at a later time, researching dduring consultation with the patients and acknowledging and reinforcing information found on the web.
All this information provides us with many opportunities in clincal practice.Telehealth - Real time consultation, Telehealth (video – government definition), virtual clinics with remote access – billing, revenue. NBN, skype, google hangouts, cicsoendconnect, gotomeetingsScreening that can occur in waiting rooms or at home to identfy risks or issues that can be discussed during consultationElectronic medical records – PCEHR, roleout – state governmentElectronic prescribing – hopsitals – pharmacy. Dr Google – medical adviceSelf-monitoring/trackig, social media
Fast moving developing areaSlow adoption, untested technologyLittle empirical evidence that these solutions are beneficialFurthermore, whilst medication must progress through clincial trials in order to be released to the general public, it is not the case with online information or apps and therefore there is little empirical evidence that these new technologies are resulting in benefits rather than harms
