The Health Informatics Society of Australia (HISA) is pleased to invite you to participate in the inaugural Participatory Health (PH) Conference, to be held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on Monday 11 August 2014.
This conference will offer a forum to learn and discuss how health informatics and information technologies can be successfully applied to encourage individuals to play a more active role in their health. This will enable cooperative models of care that have the potential to contribute to more preventive approaches, better disease management, health promotion and control of
health system costs.
Program
The PHC 2014 program is available to be downloaded from the below link. This will give you information on conference timings, speakers and presentations.
About the conference
Technological advances including social media, smartphones, games and sensors are enabling an emerging paradigm in which citizens take a more active role in maintaining their health and demand a greater role in the processes of clinical decision making concerning them. It has the potential to significantly improve health literacy across the community and assist in developing a truly patient/family - centred health system. These tools let patients collect data about their own body and health, manage this information, share it with colleagues and/or with clinicians and even analyse it to gain knowledge that could help them to improve their health. This area is known as participatory health. The conference will offer a forum to learn and discuss how successful experiences in this area can contribute to more preventive approaches, facilitating improved risk profiling and control of health system costs.
Participatory health is based on an intensive use of information and therefore poses major challenges for health and biomedical informatics, particularly taking into account that these interventions must be based on evidence and should target different needs from different groups of people (personalisation). Some related aspects that will be addressed by the participants include:
- Social media and patient on-line communities
- Personal genome services
- Self-monitoring and quantification
- Personal health records
- Patient reading doctor's notes
- Crowd-sourced clinical trials
- Patient reported outcomes
- Shared decision making
- Gamification
