This session contains two 40 minute panels.

Panel: From ‘great in theory’ to reality: How do we operationalise learning health systems?

Despite increasing interest in learning health systems (LHS) there are still few successful implementations in hospitals. LHS programs may be seen as high risk, high reward projects due to their inherent complexity. Most require a large investment in digital innovation as well as cultural change, with many programs failing to make a rapid meaningful impact. How do we make learning health systems an operational reality beyond the theoretical framework? The panel will represent key leaders from four innovative learning health system programs including the Sydney Kid’s Learning Health Initiative in NSW, Digital Health Research Network in QLD, Centre for Digital Transformation of Health in VIC, and Digital Research, Informatics and Virtual Environment Unit in the UK. Drawing from their own experiences setting up LHS programs in hospitals, the expert panel will discuss key cultural, technical and systems barriers they have faced, and lessons learned to make learning health systems a reality.



Panel: Using persuasive technology to design effective mhealth systems

Mobile Health (mHealth) technologies such as smart phones, mobile apps, wearables provide powerful capabilities to improve healthcare. However the challenge is to develop designs that maximize this potential. Persuasive Technology is a systematic framework for the design and development of technology-based systems that support and enable behaviour or attitudes change. In this panel we bring together experienced clinicians and informatics scientists to present their experiences in developing Persuasive mHealth systems for health care and education that optimize the potential of mHealth hardware and software technologies.
