Workshop: Innovation sprint on applying telehealth for one health surveillance
This innovation sprint workshop will be used to solve the large scale problem of connecting One Health with Telehealth. Jake Knapp developed design sprints in Google to solve large scale and often increasingly design problems. Here, we are meeting a planetary scale health crisis to bridge diverse worlds: ecosystem health, human health, animal health, and digital health. We will facilitate ideations, and participants will create prototypes. At the end of this workshop, participants will have a validated prototype of a solution or learn from invalidated prototypes as to what may work and fail.
This workshop will contain a “innovation sprint” jam where the challenge will be to establish telehealth and one health together to solve the problem of how to use telehealth to address One Health issues that include antimicrobial stewardship and resistance, food security and food borne infections, and zoonoses control and One Health surveillance.
Panel: Digital health diplomacy: Regional and global digital health in a post-pandemic world
Digital health is having its moment on the diplomatic stage. Recognising the rapidly accelerating digital transformation of healthcare following COVID-19, the ‘G20 Bali Leaders’ Declaration’ called for “continued international dialogue and collaboration on the establishment of trusted global digital health networks, aligning well with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) advocacy for “more effective public participation and transparency in national and international digital health decision-making processes, such as through international consultation processes or a stakeholder forum”.
Recognising MEDINFO 2023 as a prime example of such a ‘trusted global digital health network’ and ‘stakeholder forum’ for ‘international digital health decision-making’, we propose a MEDINFO2023 panel discussion on how DHD may serve as a boundary-spanner in this growing field to build functional knowledge bridges between regions and cultures. We will present examples from different international contexts where progress is being made on global projects for digital health services. DHD may help the public understand the value of global digital health services, and inform policy-makers and academics about the diplomacy required to achieve them. Following this panel presentation, we invite the convened global digital health community of digital health professionals, diplomats, political and social scientists, epidemiologists, academics, and clinicians to discuss, critique, and advance the emerging domain of ‘Digital Health Diplomacy’ (DHD) for advancing global digital health.
