The document summarizes the work plan of an international collaborative developing a mobile application called ICanFunction (mICF) based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). The work plan includes six interrelated work packages: 1) collaborative leadership and partnership facilitation, 2) developing ICF content and outcome measures, 3) designing and implementing a minimum viable product, 4) iterative user testing, 5) validating proof-of-concept and evaluating impact and economics, and 6) disseminating results through publications and commercialization. The goal of mICF is to facilitate person-centered, interprofessional care through empowering users and enabling personalized, predictive healthcare services.

1. Abstract
At the annual meeting of the
Functioning and Disability
Reference Group (FDRG) of the
World Health Organization’s Family of
International Classifications Nertwork
(WHO-FIC) in 2013, it was agreed to
encourage the development of a
collaborative to investigate the
development of a mobile
application for ICF. Currently the
International mICF Partnership
includes 284 partners from 39
countries.
In 2015, a transprofessional mICF
consortium of 19 partners from
Europe, Africa, Americas and Asia
designed a detailed work plan
and applied for Horizon 2020 funding
to develop the user-friendly
ICanFunction (mICF) health service
platform.

Title
Methods
We developed a work plan divided into
six work packages (WP) (Chart 1):
WP1: Collaborative leadership and
partnership facilitation using innovation
management principles
WP2: Develop ICF content specification
as well as person-centered outcome
measures
WP3: Design and technical
implementation of a state-of-the art
solution using a lean minimum viable
product development approach
WP4: Iterative and disciplined in-
market experimentation in every aspect
of the design process, informed by the
feedback of older people, as well as
children and adults with chronic
diseases, their proxies and service
providers. This will also facilitate change
management, allowing new patient
pathways and interprofessional
collaboration
We present an innovation and research work program for the mobile ICanFunction
(mICF) solution. The work plan is divided into six interrelated work packages. This work plan is
shared among the International mICF Partnership. Partners can exploit it to develop specific
research plans in seeking funding from to realise the global mICF vision.

on Posters C - FThe mICF will:
• Facilitate person-centred,
interprofessional holistic service
provision
• Address needs of service users
through shared decision-making and
service user reported outcomes
• Empower service users, their carers
and servers providers (including
community and home-based care)
• Personal health data will be
processed securely, informing a
service user empowering bio-
psycho-social-spiritual approach.
• Big data analytics will enable
personalised, predictive care
WP3: Lean minimum
viable product (MVP) design
and technical implementation
