The workshop, which took place on 8th December 2013 was led by Lynne Maher, Director of Innovation at Ko Awatea, New Zealand and Chris McCarthy, Director of the Innovation Learning Network, Kaiser Permanente. Design methods bring critical new insights and understanding about services and enhance our potential to transform services
Presentation slide deck from Emergent Learning 2012, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This talk describes some approaches and strategies to implementing a real BYOD (bring your own device) program in the classroom.
Naomi Russell reflects on a formative experience in her own career when she was part of huge changes for a theatre company in London – this transformed its future artistically and financially. She gives pointers of what to consider when thinking about change, how to pace change, characteristics of ‘change makers’ as individuals and give practical examples and insights. She challenges those attending on how to think about what change means for them individually inside their organizations – after all, as they say, the only person you can change is yourself…

Passive data collection entails active patients: Refocusing the UX lens in cl...Medullan
Presented at the PanagoraPharma Clinical Trials & IoT Forum, November 7, 2016.
Sensor technology and connected devices promise a wealth of real-world data for clinical trials without participants seemingly needing to effort. But it’s wrong to conflate the notion of passive data collection with passive patient behavior. Trial subjects need to accept sensor technology and allow it into their lives. Successful trials using IoT connected devices require renewed focus on the user experience, considering how patients, many who may be digitally naïve, adopt and use connected devices. Even when data is collected passively, IoT trials require participants to be engaged, which has significant implications for the design of trials.
Retail, distribution and production. What’s differentiate Retail from others two?
- The Ocean of data. Many locations with thousands SKU.
Where to focus? What is system constraint?
A: The Data (information) flow!
How to exploit it?
A: To clean mistakes from the system and to make data reliable. If not, you’ll allow to run the Random Chaos mechanism in the very roots of the system.
How to subordinate?
A: Through automated POOGI (Process of ongoing improvement) mechanism. And to implement POOGI mechanism is more important than DBM (Dynamic Buffer Management) formula. BUT to implement POOGI is a “mission impossible” without proper IT solutions. This solution must enable automated collection of information about the every single “quanta” of behavior.
How to implement auto POOGI?
How to collect skills and competences for that? I will share our Goodstream experiences during TOCICO presentation in Chicago 2012.
In 2015/16 a number of bodies/nations set about defining societies they would aspire to in the near future. Each vision document similarly described some idealistic, egalitarian, super-smart, human centred, state providing a near uniformity of living conditions, and opportunity. At the same time, each society would be free of adversity, with economic development guided by ecological and human need. Of course, economic growth was defined to continue in line with the past. Very nice, but a product of old linear thinking and modelling!
It is now approaching 2022 and in the past 5/7 years our base silicon technology has advanced to enjoy a >30 fold increase in computing power. Our top end mobile devices would now challenge a super computer of 1996/7 era, whist AI systems now pervade our homes, offices, vehicles, professions and all our on-line services. At the same time, information overload has started to rival some medical conditions!
All of this has also been compounded by two years of COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions that have seen the normalisation of social isolation, limited travel, working and eduction from home, virtualised medicine and care, support services, shopping and meetings. In turn, this has resulted in empty offices, towns and cities. Concurently, climate change, global warming, pollution, finite resources, a stressed planetary system, and social unrest have suddenly become urgent issues. Against this backdrop it really seems to be time to revisit those Society 5.0 Visions and the limited linear thinking that contrived them!
In this presentation we examine many of the core parameters and assumptions to highlight existing, or soon to be realised, solutions and remedies. In doing so, a different picture of Society 5.0 emerges.

User Experience!
Wearable tech used to be the domain of academics, science fiction writers and future geeks. Now the likes of Apple Google and nike are filing wearalbe tech patents. 2003 and 2012The Google Glass will allow the user to view and send emails, display alerts and messages, use Google maps for directions, take photos and video record while still being able to perform normal tasks i.e. walking, making coffee. Not only would this technology make life easy, it would revolutionize the way we do things normally.AR Technology is definitely exciting but is this all too much?

Available in two versions, the HWM100 and HWM200, both the Vital Jackets have varying functionalities. The former stores data on a SD card for long term viewing and analysis, while the latter (HWM200) allows signals to be sent directly to a PDA or cellphone.Tested successfully on 300 patients, the Vital Jacket is bound to provide patients and sporting enthusiasts, freedom of movement and independence yet, continuously monitoring their heart rate and related vitals, for perfect diagnosis and information.
Lolo Jones, an American hurdler, is also using motion-detecting sensors to optimize her form Lolo tracks every second of her performance using a 40 Vicon T40S motion-capture cameras that record 2,000 frames per second. The cameras capture the 39 reflective motion detection sensors Lolo wears on her body, allowing her and her team to analyze her every movement down to millimeters.”British gymnast Mimi Cesar has perfected her rhythmic floor routine using MotivePro, a vibrating suit that uses a modular system of sensors on her body to track and record her movements. The sensors give her real-time feedback as to where her body is in space, and vibrate when her arms, legs, head, chest, or feet go outside a desired range of motion. Because the feedback is instantaneous, Mimi can correct and refine her position while doing her routine. The suit can also give her audio cues as to when she’s out of alignment, and after she’s finished her routine, she can play back her performance to see visual cues to help make it perfect. According to MotivePro:British gymnast Mimi Caesar uses a vibrating suit for her rhythmic floor routine. A system of sensors tracks and records her movements giving real-time feedback with vibrations. Instantaneous feedback allows her to correct and refine in the middle of the routine. Audio cues are used when she’s out of alignment and after the perfect form and she can play it back to see visual cues helping to make it perfect.
Tacit is a sonar-enabled wrist-mounted device that helps the blind to detect when objects are nearby.http://www.gizmag.com/tacit-wrist-mounted-sonar/19580/combine sonar and haptic or audio feedback to let the visually impaired "see" their surroundings through the senses of touch or hearing. Tacit is a similar device that also uses sonar to measure the distance to objects and provide users with a 'view" of their surroundings through haptic feedback. Placing the device on the hand also lets the wearer easily point it in any direction. gloves were rejected in favor of a design that uses a loop that slips over the wearer's middle finger and a Velcro wrist strapAdaptive fashioning technology for the visually impaired that is handcrafted from a ready made jacket, SparkfunLilypad, vibration boards, Maxbotixultrasonic range finders in front and LessEMF conductive thread.

Their wearers can’t feel them because they cling on to the skin by feeble electric forces between moleculeset they can contain electronic circuits needed to monitor health status along with wireless capabilities that can be used to transmit data to the patient’s mobile phone and on to the doctor’s surgery.The clever part was taking the brittle silicon used to build electronics and fashioning it into wires just a few billionths of a metre thick. These can give the electronics a flexibility that matches that of skin and can stretch and bend as people go about their business.
Asked to move in ways you are not accustomed to. PT, trainer, how far to goThis yoga shirt magnifies the controversy over healthcare and technology and people versus technology. Yoga, a traditionally calming and personal activity is being “enhanced” with the shirt that nudges you into the right position. Teachers are concerned that students will overstretch themselves and that the personal touch will be taken out of it. As with so many pieces of technology, humans always managed to insert themselves. We use our phones to talk with people all over the world and connect in ways we never thought possible.
t works using a single fiber-optic bend sensor that goes from about C7 to about L4. In the vest, the sensor hardware, bluetooth connection, and battery are housed behind the little foam "tag" at the upper back. (The skin-tight version was hard-wired to an external data processing unit). The garment feeds sensor values over bluetooth to the user's PC (the design assumes the user is sitting at a computer for long periods of time), which indicates via a subtle system-tray icon the goodness of the current posture (red-yellow-green). If the posture is "red" for too long, it pops up a little system warning balloon reminding them to sit up. Clicking the icon brings up a re-calibration window with a posture history graph tab.
