Simple! With a software platform!

To convey users a coherent experience and unique space
unifying the content coming from those applications.

To convey users a coherent experience and unique space

To collect data to process towards risk profiling and the
enactment of programs of prevention and self-empowerment.

We call this software platform an
InterPersonal Wellbeing Space (IpWIS).

What do we mean with that??
We contrast the actual hype on Personal Health Record.

An online data.
InterPersonal Wellbeing Space.
An online of socialization.

Personal Health Record.
An online Web-based application where to store health data.
InterPersonal Wellbeing Space.
An online Web-based application where to make sense of
wellbeing-related data, also thru gaming and socialization.

Selected content can be
shared in a social context,
within either a prevention
discourse with one’s own
GP or in a game/competion discourse with friends or peers .

A flexible and modular platform
Many kinds of vertical applications can be plugged in the
IPWS platform.
A wrapper is needed for each app(lication).
The current WIPS is developed in Drupal 7: applications can be ad-
hoc contributed modules.
The IPWS provides:
A JSON Web Service to fetch data from heterogeneous sources;
Access to infographic modules to display data in the Space.
A flexible and articulated mechanism for data filtering and sharing.
Risk profiling is done outside the IPWS. 30
MedIcona as proof of concept
Our first WIPS is more health oriented: we called it
MedIcona1, and it’s an open-source EHR where citizens can:
Share health-related content with their GPs, other specialists, relatives, friends,
possibly anyone and everyone;
Discuss it, understand it in a social communicative practice;
Meet people “around&about” a content of theirs/regarding them.

A last remark
32
Data on which to base prevention and early diagnosis must
be fed into an IT system.
We should address the question:
why should a citizen either want or like to do that?

Data on which to base prevention and early diagnosis must

Our answer is to think of applications that bring value to
the people first; leverage the social nature of human beings.
Only then it’s safe to address the IT-related challenges.
