Creation of Mood-o-Meter (1)
Mood-o-Meter is a mobile emometer device application with a automatic connection to a website
Easy to use and 24/7 acces
Acces to the application through login with password
Patient grants access to his care provider through double opt-in
Patient opens the app and submit mood/feeling of that moment (per hour/ per day/ per week)
Mood is presented through colored smiley’s
Patient adds a short motivation
Great Good OK Poor Awful

Webpage shows all results through flowcharts so a trend can be analysed
The charts can be used in visits to the care providers; to monitor progress and input for the consults
Patient can use the charts as a self help recovery chart too.
The care provider can use the information of the emometer to compare the same patient cohorts.
This provides trends in the illness, how to treat the illness more effectively, etc.
Another perk is that through the Mood-o-Meter a lot of unecessary standard forms and consults can be skipped as the information is all there and ready on the website.
The next slides will give a feeling to the mobile device application and the website idea:

Patients will be involved in the health process
Patients have 24/7 access
Patients have some control over own treatment
Care providers will work more efficient
Care providers can discover trends to improve treatment
The Mood-o-Meter can be used in full chain of the healthcare, as it is not disease restricted
Special effects

A pilot of the Mood-o-Meter will be run in one hospital in a specific department, to be decided in consultation with the pilot hospital.
The initial user group exists of a number of patients that want to participate in a pilot, with a maximum of 20 patients.
If the Mood-o-Meter is accepted, after a trial run of 3 months, the application can be rolled out to an unlimited audience.
As the application is not disease specific any healthcare institution or chain of healthcare providers can implement the Mood-o-Meter.
Through (social) media platforms, patient associations and care providers the Mood-o-Meter will be marketed.
The Audience

The initial cost for the basic version of the Mood-o-Meter
Development mobile application, approximately €20K
for 40% coverage on a symbian platform,
2 months development time
Development website, approximately €10K
no downloadable web app, but a website
The Caretakers will make use of freeware were it is possible
Revenue: depends on amount of end users and amount of departments within a particular institution:
Download cost of the application by the user €0,99;
Our proposal is 50 euro for each department each month.
< 100 end users €50 each month per department;
between 100 and 500 end users, an additional €50 each month (total €100 a month) per department;
> 500 end users, again an additional €50 each month (total €150 a month) per department.
Costs & Revenues

Special features
In order to make the Mood-o-Meter a success it is essential that The Caretakers will get a sponsor to initiate the project. We don’t see a risk here as we have many contacts in all participating fields (software, communication, healthcare)
As it is an initiative from two patients with time on there hands great effort can be put into the whole concept of The Caretaker, including the social innovation that we have submitted, see also http://www.thecaretakers.nl

Final scene: Risk/ Benefit
Risks
The only risk we can at current see in this project is that if The Caretakers don’t win the H2Ochallenge they will need to find means to make the technical episode a succes. However as we strongly believe in the full concept we will put everything to work to make this full concept idea, including the social innovation, a great succes!
Benefits:
The key benefit of the Mood-o-Meter is that the patients becomes involved in his own recovery process
Through a technical application both patient and care provider will get better and accurate information on the mood development throughout the recovery period
The Mood-o-Meter is one technical development in a total patient initiated concept. Please also check out http://www.thecaretakers.nl !
