The 1st
Conference and Launch of the International Society for Digital Medicine (ISDM)

2. Professor Zhang - Founding President of the ISDM
Nanjingwasthe venue forthe FoundingConference of the InternationalSocietyof DigitalMedicine(ISDM) andthe 1st
International Conference onDigital Medicine andMedical 3Dprinting.Iwas honouredtobe invitedtobecome amemberof the
FoundingCouncil andtobe involvedindiscussingthe draftof the ISDM’sStatute withotherinvitedISDMCouncil members
from38 differentcountries.
The conference wasattendedbyover1000 participantsfromChinaandinternationallyandsupplementedbyanexhibition
whichprimarilyfocusedonMedical 3DprintingandSimulationtechnologies.

3D Medical Printing and Additive Manufacturing
3D Medical Printing /Additive Manufacturing Application Examples
One of the mostimpressive elementsof the NanjingISDMconference wasthe varietyandsophisticationof technologyusages

For medical applications,the combinationof 3Dprinting,sophisticatedscanningtechnologiesandthe advanceduse of
biomedical materialscreates opportunitiestotransformpatientlivesbyreplacementof defective bodypartsand/or

The GAM-NAV Concept - Gamification Made Simple
The GAM-NAV Concept applied to Personal Health Management
Gamificationhasbecome ahot topicinrecentmonthsand yearsbut I have beendismayedbythe lackof understandingof what
Gamificationisandhowit can be appliedeverydaytoa whole multiplicityof scenarioswhere influencinghumanbehaviouris
keyto a successful outcome.Fartoooften,Gamificationisportrayedasthe use of points,badgesandrewardsand/orleague
tablesasincentivestomotivate individualsorgroups.
Aftergivingthisproblemof over-simplificationof Gamificationasthe use of extrinsicmotivationtoencourage desired
outcomes,Ihave devisedasimple conceptcalledGam-Nav(Sat-NavforGamification) asasimple wayof explaininghowGames

motivationandpersonal relationshipstoteambuildingandpolitics.
If you wishtouse Gamificationtoimprove performance oreffectchange thatdependsoninfluencinghumanbeings,imagine
yourself asa sophisticatedSat-Navwhose roleistohelpyourtargetvehicle toreachitsdesireddestinationaseffectivelyand
painlesslyaspossible.Toachieve this,youneedtoacquire the basiccharacteristics/competencesof ahighlysophisticatedsat-
nav whichmeans:-
a) As a sat-navyouare not incontrol of the vehicle,reachingadesireddestinationisdependenton“the driver”(i.e.the
individual/groupyouare tryinginfluence) followingyourguidance
b) You needtoknow the current statusof the vehicle/driver(i.e.where theycurrently are)
c) You needtoknow the desireddestinationof the journey(i.e.where you/yourtargetwantstofinishup)
d) You needtocalculate a route to that destinationbasedonthe preferencesof “the driver”andthe capabilitiesof “the
vehicle”
e) You needtobe able toadvise onprogressto that destination,alternativeroutesandfeasibilityof the journey

3. f) You needtobe able toprovide constantfeedbacktothe driverandbe preparedtosuggestan alternative ormore
practical destination
g) At a higherlevel of sophistication,youneedtoeithermake the desireddestinationasattractive aspossible or
alternative destinationsasundesirable aspossible (carrotandstick)
h) You needtomake the journey/route asengagingandenjoyable aspossible
