Medicine 2.0'09 (Toronto, Canada)

From expert-driven to user-oriented communication of infection control guidelines
Lisette Van Gemert-pijnen*, Fenne Verhoeven, Ron Hendrix, Michaël Steehouder

Background: Currently, infection control protocols are more expert-driven than user-centered. In order to become more usable, protocols should externalize healthcare workers’ (HCWs) tacit knowledge, which is context-dependent and made up of practical and experiential wisdom of individual HCWs. Objective:Based on a user-centered design process, we developed a web-based tool that facilitates HCWs with applicable infection control guidelines that enable them to deliver safe health care. ...

Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) For Dementia Patients And Their Caregivers: Effects On Care Coordination and Monitoring Sleep/Wake Rhythm
Nienke Nijhof, Lisette Van Gemert-pijnen*, Theo De Vries, Nynke De Jong, Harry Ankone, Will Ten Westeneind, Erwin Seydel

Background: The number of people with dementia in the Netherlands is quickly growing. More people with dementia come into the Dutch nursing homes, but less people start working in these nursing homes. The people with dementia in a nursing home have a disturbed sleep/wake rhythm. This can cause very sleepy patients or very nervous patients during day and night. Objectives: To identify the potential for ambient assisted living (AAL) technology for dementia patients and caregivers; in parti...

‘’The Chitchatters: a Leisure Activity for People with Dementia to Stimulate Social Interaction.’’
Nienke Nijhof, Lisette Van Gemert-pijnen*, Helma Van Rijn, Joost Van Hoof, Theo De Vries, Erwin Seydel

Background: Worldwide, there were 30 million people with dementia (PWD) in 2009 and will be 100 million in 2050, respectively. These numbers show the need for a change in care for PWD. The provision of leisure and pleasant activities to PWD in group living environments is a serious challenge for changing care for dementia. Leisure activities can support PWD in several ways: meeting in basic needs, providing comfort and social interaction, reducing boredom, agitation, and isolation. An exempla...

Panel Supporting Health Care by Persuasive Technology
Lisette Van Gemert-pijnen*

Persuasive eHealth provides a renewed vision on supporting health care by technology. Persuasive Technology focuses on how motivational and affective technologies used to create, maintain, or change human thought and behaviour may be. Persuasive health care technology has its roots in a combination of well-established research in social psychology, communication, health care informatics and creative technologies. This multidisciplinary field of health care technology brings a special contribu...

How Technology Can Support Patients with Dementia
Lisette Van Gemert-pijnen*

Purpose: the panel will explore the opportunities and barriers for technology-based interventions for dementia to make founded decisions for the use of technology in healthcare (care institutions, homecare). background: From literature reviews and current studies we know that technology can improve the ability to cope with certain consequences of dementia. Especially technology aimed at safety and well-being appeared successful for people with dementia (low and high MMSE scores). For homeca...

A Web-based Diabetes Education Programme and The Challenges Regarding Its Evolution
Annette Ovink, Lisette Van Gemert-pijnen*, Nicol Nijland, Evelien Heinrich, Hans Ossebaard, Nicolaas Schaper

Encouragement and support of selfmanagement with the use of web based technology is a promising area in diabetes care. The Diabetes Interactive Education Programme DIEP is an online application for persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and their health care providers in the Netherlands. The programme aims to increase understanding of DM2 and its sequelae; to stimulate active patient participation and patient-health care provider interaction; and to provide tools to support adequate self...

Designing a Telecare System for Caregivers: a User Centered Approach Using Scenarios.
Charles Willems, Mark Brul, R.m.h.a. Huis In ‘t Veld, H. Hermens, Lisette Van Gemert-pijnen*

Telecare systems show the potential for elderly to remain in-home for a longer period by increasing early detection of behavioural changes and adapt home care delivery. As 37% of the telecare initiatives fail due to a lacking user acceptance of the technology, involving users in the design process and taking their needs as onset for design is regarded as a prerequisite. However involving caregivers as contemplated users in the design process raises several barriers. Caregivers are overall tec...

Participatory Development of a 2.0 Platform to Implement an International Antibiotic Stewardship Program
Jobke Wentzel, Maarten Van Limburg, Joyce Karreman, Lisette Van Gemert-pijnen*

Background To reduce the risks resistant bacteria pose to patient safety, more prudent use of antibiotics both in and outside care facilities is needed. Our literature review shows that there is a lack of available, usable, and tailored information on antibiotic use in public health and care facilities. Antibiotic Stewardship Programs (ASPs) have been proposed and implemented--mainly in hospitals--to facilitate physicians in prescribing the right antimicrobial drug for an appropriate amount ...

A Wiki for Collaborative Development in eHealth
Lisette Van Gemert-pijnen*, Hans C. Ossebaard, Nicol Nijland

eHealth technologies may contribute to solve some serious challenges to global health and health care. As of yet the impact of eHealth technologies on healthcare practice is rather small compared to investments and professional expectation. In our research we have identified five major clusters of causes: a) inadequate research methods, b) lack of knowledge about the process of technological innovation, c) a skewed medical expert-driven approach to eHealth technologies, and d) the use of inap...

Increasing Safety in EPublic Health; the Development of Persuasive Mobile Apps via Personas
Lisette Van Gemert-pijnen*

Backgrounds Many Health technology projects do not live up to their expectations, as the final technology fails to meet both the clients’ needs and wishes, as well as the demands placed on the technology by health professionals and other stakeholders (insurers, providers) and the social environment in which technology needs to be implemented. Applying a design process geared towards incorporating these demands from patients and professionals is an approach that maximizes chances of success...

Citizens’ Information Consumption and Needs During an Infectious Disease Crisis: An In-depth Study of (2.0) Media Use During an Ehec Outbreak
Lisette Van Gemert-pijnen*, Lex Van Velsen, Desirée Beaujean, Jobke Wentzel, Jim Van Steenbergen

Background In May 2011, Germany was hit by an outbreak of the EHEC bacteria. This bacteria (mostly transmitted via the consumption of contaminated foods) can cause abdominal cramps, (bloody) diarrhea, fever and vomiting. Most people get well within ten days, but in some cases an EHEC infection leads to Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome (HUS), and possibly, death. The outbreak led to a lot of worry among the general public. Social media are often praised because of their valuable contribution in ...

Business Modeling in EHealth
Lisette Van Gemert-pijnen*, Maarten Van Limburg

Abstract - Implementation of eHealth technologies often go wrong as this part of the development of eHealth technology is either underestimated, addressed too late or not performed, while the success of the eHealth technology is not only dependent on its well-researched technical feats, but also on how well it fits in its intended care processes. Therefore, as part of the CeHRes Roadmap used in various eHealth projects by the Center of eHealth and Disease Management at the University of Twent...
