Improving health is a“wicked problem”No consensus on “the problem”
No “stopping rule”
No clear-cut formula for judging solutions
Every solution is a “one-shot operation”
No clear-cut list of alternative solutions
Each person’s situation is unique
—after Horst Rittel

Wicked problems can onlybe resolved by reframingThis talk describes a growing trend, broadening...
health to well-being
health-care to self-management
the role of patients to that of experiment designers

Traditional frame: illness

Today, health is often seen as the absence of disease or infirmity.

Behavior does not change on a physician’s orders“Take medication as directed”
“Walk 10,000 steps”
“Get 8 hours of sleep”
“Snacks/sweets only on days beginning with S”...
Result: poor compliance

HCP-patient relationships are not symmetricalWe call individuals patients
Doctors and nurses are professionals
Professionals care for patients
Patients passively receive treatment
Patients who do not follow a physician’s orders are not in compliance

The tools of acute-care are ill-suited to chronic-care The American Heart Association reports, “The No. 1 problem in treating illness today is patients’ failure to take prescription medications.”
That’s blaming patients.
Leonard Syme suggests, “We need to pay attention to the things people care about, and stop being such experts about our risk factors.”

Well-being depends on more than health-care
Means Acute care Chronic care

Self-managementsupported by HCPs,friends, and family
Other means, such as:- Employer practices- Social policies- Essentials: clean air + water food + shelter education + stability

Patient-driven health-care
“A collaborative co-care model is starting to evolve for health-care delivery... the patient’s role may become one of active participant, information sharer, peer leader, and self-tracker, while the physician’s role may become one of care consultant, co-creator, and health co-ordinator.”
—Melanie Swan, International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2009

As you design / market / deployself-management technologies ...
Questions to ask yourself
![Page 41: Reframing Health to Embrace Design of Our Own Well-being](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061102/629d4fed0abb171aff4a630d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
People focus on life,not healthAre you framing the problem broadly enough?- Understand full context of person’s life,
not just the micro-activity (e.g. taking a pill, recording weight)
Is your system alleviating or increasing the user’s workload?- Minimize bio-cost of initiating and using self-management tools
Whose needs are you addressing first and foremost?- Appreciate centrality of self-directed goals;
user as final authority of personal goals and deciding “what’s best”
41R
![Page 42: Reframing Health to Embrace Design of Our Own Well-being](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061102/629d4fed0abb171aff4a630d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Health is multi-factorial
How well are you addressing the user’s unique situation? Is your system supporting all key factors, including non-medical factors?
- Design flexible frameworks, customizable by users to their own needs
- Accommodate, don’t dictate, user’s choice of tools, therapies, interests
- Enable people to design their own well-being
42R
![Page 43: Reframing Health to Embrace Design of Our Own Well-being](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061102/629d4fed0abb171aff4a630d/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Health is dynamic
Is your system meant for on-going or episodic use?
Is it designed to evolve?
- Design for ongoing, constantly changing, tiny self-experiments
- Support control and tracking of non-experimental variables
43R
![Page 44: Reframing Health to Embrace Design of Our Own Well-being](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061102/629d4fed0abb171aff4a630d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Continuous learning enables continuous adjustmentTo what extent does your system support self-learning?- Provide auto-analysis of user’s own health experience over time- Support user self-analysis (e.g. visualization)
How does your system enable learning from others’ experience?- Support learning from “others like me”- Support auto-identification of “others like me”
