The rise of consumer health awareness and the recent advent of personal health management tools (including mobile and health wearable devices) have contributed to another shift transforming the healthcare landscape. Despite the rise of health consumers, the impact of user-generated health data remains to be validated. In fact, many applications are hinged on the interpretability issues of this sort of data. The aim of this panel is two-fold. First, this panel aims to review the key dimensions in the interpretability, spanning from quality and reliability to information security and trust management. Secondly, since similar issues and methodologies have been proposed in different application areas ranging from clinical decision support to behavioral interventions and clinical trials, the panelists will also discuss both the success stories and the areas that fall short. The opportunities and barriers identified can then serve as guidelines or action items individuals can bring to their organizations to further improve the interpretability of user-generated data.
Developing National Repository Of Child Health Information For India Anil M...Anil Mishra
India faces an enormous challenge in the area of child survival. The Government and different non-government organizations have undertaken various initiatives to improve the status of Child Health in the country and this has generated an abundant resource of valuable information. However this information lies scattered and is often inaccessible to the public and other stakeholders.
Efficient management of ‘health information’ is imperative for informed decision making and for attaining effective programmatic outcomes. Digital repositories have nowadays become the preferred source of information management. This paper describes the development of a digital repository of information on child health developed by the National Child Health Resource Centre at the National Institute of Health & Family Welfare, Delhi, using the open source content management system Drupal. This repository has been developed as a comprehensive source of information on child health and related maternal health.

The Application of Business Analysis Principles to the Field of Knowledge Tra...KBHN KT
Abstract:
KBHN is a Federally funded Network Centre of Excellence (NCE) focused on early diagnosis and treatment for children and families affected by neurodisabilities such as Autism Spectrum Disorders, Cerebral Palsy and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders. Knowledge Translation is important for helping to move research based interventions and discoveries into practice and policy, for improving the lives of Canadians. KBHN's KT Core provides a suite of services to assist its researchers and trainees to maximize the impact of their innovations. However, what often remains 'unseen' are the systems and processes that have been developed and deployed to facilitate the smooth provision of these services to the Network and subsequent reporting. Principles from the field of business analysis have proven indispensable to the KT Core, such as: a) identifying stakeholders who are directly or indirectly affected/involved, b) requirements gathering from all stakeholders, c) design/improvement of processes and products based on this understanding of relevant stakeholders and their needs, as well as obtaining their feedback on proposed solutions. This presentation will describe how KBHN's KT Core has successfully applied general principles of business analysis (solutions such as process and product design/improvement) using three examples: 1) an improved process for drafting clear language summaries, 2) a new process created and operationalized for developing detailed KT plans (along with development of a custom KT planning product) with four selected research project teams within the Network, and 3) an innovative application of survey software for (cost and time) efficient annual progress reporting. In sum, this presentation will advocate for broader application of business analysis principles for process and product development within the field of knowledge translation.
Abstract:
KBHN is a Federally-funded Network of Centres of Excellence (NCE), dedicated to discovery through research and the translation of these activities and outputs into real impact(s) for Canadians. KBHN is in its second 5-year cycle, and in order to demonstrate impact(s) of its work, KBHN’s KT Core acted upon direction from its Research Management Committee to focus efforts towards creating detailed KT Plans for 4 designated “High Impact Projects (HIPs)”. Part of the process required the creation of a customized KT Planning tool, called the “Hybrid KT Planning/Project Management tool”. The initial (prototype) version of this tool was piloted with the 4 HIPs. Feedback was sought immediately after its application, and field notes were taken to record this user input as well as our own observations about its use in practice. This information was later transformed into properly-worded requirements that we could apply to the design and development of the next iteration. The presentation as part of this workshop will explain the process for creating the tool and progress to-date, including a list of revisions in the form of requirements that are needed to inform the design of the next iteration. The tool, while designed for use by KBHN’s remaining 15 research projects that were not chosen for the HIP pilot, can also be useful for researchers in other NCEs, or anywhere. This workshop will create space for participants to work through parts of the tool and provide feedback to the presenters to inform future developments in order to maximize its usefulness for all researchers and KT professionals.

3. Provide information for being able to access free online KT planning tools and guides
Research-To-Impact Canvas - one page planning tool for research, KT and Comme...KBHN KT
The Research to Impact Canvas is an innovative adaptation of the Business Model Canvas, for use by researchers and KT professionals. While the BMC is used as a one-page quick and easily modifiable business plan (before writing the longer 30-40 page business plan) this Research to Impact Canvas provides a one page planning tool for sketching out the integrated research, KT and commercialization activities while budgeting for each activity. Partners, target audiences, and other considerations that are all part of a full KT or Commercialization plan can be planned alongside the research activities. In this way, this tool encourages the user to think about the usefulness (value proposition to the end user, because of the needs they are addressing with the work) of their research, in conjunction with (NOT isolated or separate from) their KT and/or Commercialization plan. This is how we can operationalize the Co-Produced Pathway to Impact, which requires co-production with non-academic stakeholders which could be partners or end-users. The capitalized letters in this tool indicate the stages of the CPPI framework that correspond with it - RESEARCH, DISSEMINATION, UPTAKE, IMPLEMENTATION and IMPACT. In this version of the tool, the spaces are empty and can be typed into directly, or it can be printed on 11x17 paper and posted on the wall for collaborative planning with project team members using post-it notes, or it can be printed on 8.5x11 paper if reduced to 66%.
We have also created an instructional video that will explain and demonstrate how to use it: https://youtu.be/Cz0l1viEFmc
In the video, I mention that you need to write a “Value Proposition” statement for each type of end-user you identify, and that there are different templates online. For convenience, I am providing you with two templates for crafting a value proposition statement:
Template #1:
End User: __________________________ (who is your end-user/target audience)
Problem: _________________________________ (what problem/need you’re solving for the end-user)
Solution:__________________________________ (what is your solution for the problem/need)
Template #2:
For______________________________________________(target audience/end-user)
who______________________________________________(state the problem/need(s))
is a ______________________________________________(your project’s title/name)
that ______________________________________________(benefit statement, explain how your work will provide a solution for these end-user’s needs).
Webinar: The Research to Impact (R2I) Canvas for Research, KT and Commerciali...KBHN KT
Learning outcomes:
1) RFA applicants will understand why they are being asked to use the Research to Impact (R2I Canvas) for their applications, and what are the benefits of using it
2) RFA applicants will know how to use the R2I Canvas planning tool within the context of the current request for applications
3) RFA applicants will know how to use the Value Proposition template within the context of the R2I Canvas
The Research to Impact (R2I) Canvas is a tool that has been developed to assist applicants to the current Request for Applications from Kids Brain Health Network (KBHN). This presentation will begin by explaining the numerous benefit(s) of using the R2I Canvas for applicants, and for KBHN as a network such as being able to find partners. This will be followed by a practical explanation of how to use the R2I Canvas section by section, during which the KBHN Environmental Scan document will be referenced as the starting point for identifying and articulating which (one or more) of the 44 stakeholder-identified needs the project team will be creating a solution for through their project(s). Finally, Anneliese will review how to use the Value Proposition template that was circulated to all applicants, and its relationship to the R2I Canvas.
About Potato, The scientific name of the plant is Solanum tuberosum (L).Christina Parmionova
The potato is a starchy root vegetable native to the Americas that is consumed as a staple food in many parts of the world. Potatoes are tubers of the plant Solanum tuberosum, a perennial in the nightshade family Solanaceae. Wild potato species can be found from the southern United States to southern Chile
Synopsis (short abstract) In December 2023, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 30 May as the International Day of Potato.
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

What is NeuroDevNet? What we do, why we’re here (high level)
Federally funded NCE
~80 researchers/trainees (FASD, ASD, CP)
Knowledge and Technology Exchange and Exploitation
“…seek to shed light on the causes of neurological disorders, and to share this knowledge to health care professionals, policy makers, and communities of interest…
NeuroDevNet works across traditional disciplinary boundaries and sectors to ensure our findings are translated into tangible diagnostic, preventative, therapeutic,
social, economic, and health benefits for all.”
KT Core provides a suite of services to support KT led by HQ and Program/project PI s as well as KT led by KT Core
Responsive demand-driven services
KT Core provides a suite of services to support KT led by HQ and Program/project PIs as well as KT led by KT Core
RMC directive to identify 4-5 “High Impact Projects” for Cycle II (2015-2020)
High Impact projects were chosen through a process of:
Asking Program PI s to identify research projects that they believe have the highest potential for impact (socio-economic or commercial potential) such as changes to practice and/or policy or commercialization of products toward improved health for children with NDDs
Scientific director and advisors identified which of these would be chosen as HIPs
3) Their ability to identify partners and receptors either already on board or desired future partners.
4) Their ability to describe a solution not just understanding more of the problem
5) Their fit with the three NDN objectives: diagnostics, interventions, services
6) We didn't chose sleep or SDOH because their work is less developed since they weren't part of cycle I, although we did consider them
Process for providing KT Support for HIPs:
Teleconference with HIP PI s to discuss purpose and process for KT support for their projects during Cycle II
Creation of Hybrid KT Planning/Project Management tool for the purpose of assisting KT Planning as well as managing the project throughout Cycle II toward achieving milestones and deliverables
Book in-person meetings during summer 2015 leading up to Impact Summit at annual conference September 18 2015
KT Core provides a suite of services to support KT led by HQ and Program/project PIs as well as KT led by KT Core
NeuroDevNet’s KT Core provides a suite of services for its researchers and trainees in order to help maximize the impact of research and training on Canadians affected by neurodevelopmental disorders
We started in year 4.5 – we have been going less than 2 years.
We are located within the KMb Unit at York University who helped us launch the KT Core.
Lessons learned:
Initially thought we’d find new partners/collaborators for researchers
Instead, we mostly organize teleconferences to get 2 or more individuals with no previous relationship, to talk about possible synergies and ways they can collaborate/work together in future….we remain engaged until the parties no longer need us to assist in facilitating the ongoing relationship
Lessons learned:
We initially thought we’d provide logistical support e.g. finding caterers, finding venues, etc. We found that ZERO people requested that service, they like finding their own venues, usually know someone who can get them a deal or can let them use their space, etc.
Many KT Event services overlap with SE services
Most service requests for KT event support were for review/feedback on: agenda, breakout group activities, evaluations (overlaps with evaluation services too)
We adjusted our services accordingly (less focus on logistics, etc.)
Lessons learned:
Thought this service would mainly comprise providing “consultation” (advice) for researchers/trainees to be able to create their own KT Products (e.g. how to do their own videos, how to create their own infographics, etc.)
In reality, we needed to provide more hands-on support (actually creating products with researchers as content experts, filming and creating KT videos, initiating and creating infographics) was more desired and what we ended up doing
New ResearchSnapshot process created to better accommodate needs of researchers (root cause analysis)
Example: workshop Sept 28, 2013 for trainees (KT Planning, and Social Media for KT)
Lessons learned:
Thought we’d provide workshops and webinars mainly as a source of CB
Realized CB actually occurs more frequently “in situ” during provision of services (e.g. researchers/trainees learn how to do KT during process of service provision/working with them)
We will still provide webinar series and workshops in future but continue to educate researchers/trainees on KT through working with them to achieve their KT goals (e.g. KT planning – provide written review and feedback first, then talk about it on the phone to explain and hear their input/feedback and also provide information in terms of why I included certain things in the KT section and what things are key and why)
Measuring pre-post is very valuable to be able to quantify (and report!) the outcome of the event, or the % change in knowledge among attendees, of your workshop (e.g. we measured average 28% increase in knowledge about KT as a result of our workshop) in addition to regular event evaluation – NeuroDevNet’s Research Training Committee has now adopted this as the standard for evaluating NeuroDevNet training events
Explain service:
Instituted the Co-Produced Pathway to Impact as NeuroDevNet’s evaluation framework, mapped our services onto this framework using indicators that track our services
Provide support/advice for evaluations of events
Lessons learned:
Impact of KT needs to be evaluated by seeking out stories (interviews with researchers), and written into qualitative narrative (Success Stories) – since many researchers either don’t see these successes as “impact” or they do and don’t include it in their annual progress reports
Lessons learned:
Had to do proactive outreach to let researchers know we provide this service – after helping several researchers be successful with their grant applications, we are now receiving more requests
Most service requests are for KT planning at the grant writing stage (typical process is: I ask them to send me their whole proposal along with guidelines for the application, I review and provide written edits/feedback on the KT Plan/ideas for incorporating into a KT Plan, and then we follow up with a telephone discussion to review the feedback ask/answer any questions etc.) this seems to work well.
Realized there were limitations of currently existing KT Planning tools so we created our own “Hybrid” tool that combines KT Planning with Project Management for use in planning for our 4-5 chosen “High Impact Projects” for the next 5 years of funding (come to my talk this afternoon to hear more about it!)
This video is an example of: KT Products, KT Events/SE services.
Videos can and are used for brokering/establishing new partnerships (e.g. Exergame), recruitment of research participants (e.g. CQ schools for 2nd phase of study)
These were services provided in one (single) year April 1, 2014 – March 31, 2015.
We could not have gone from zero to the degree of service provision that we have achieved in one year if we didn’t have the onboarding and supports of the KMb Unit.
Most of our services were directed towards KT Product creation (Clear Language Summaries, used template/staff support and expertise/process from KMb Unit to create these for NeuroDevNet peer reviewed publications).
These were services provided in one (single) year April 1, 2014 – March 31, 2015.
The data tells us more about how are services are delivered. You can see here that most of the time we compose original written material (write content for NeuroDevNet website, guides, KT plans), followed by advice or information provided in an email response to an inquiry, and third is written feedback such as edits/comments on a document sent to us (e.g. meeting agenda, breakout activities, ppt slides, evaluations, KT plans for grant applications).
Example of interview with Neuroethics, learned about upcoming workshop and provided evaluation examples/tools and consultation on questions – they weren’t even going to do evaluation
