Design Sprint: Population Health Management

Dynamo’s Health & Social Care Tech Cluster invites innovative SMEs, VCSEs, academics and health & social care professionals to get involved in their Population Health Management Design Sprint.  26 May 9.30am  – 2.30pm.

There is a lot of data on poor ‘Population Health’ in the North East compared to the rest of the country. The healthy life expectancy in the North East has found to be consistently below the national average and we currently face great health challenges such as rising level of diabetes, misuse of alcohol, high number of obesity and increasing number of deaths due to cardiovascular diseases.

Considering the potential root causes of why the North East is falling behind the nation’s health and wellbeing, this fast paced design sprint style session, facilitated by cluster partner CGI, will explore the personas affected by poor population health and start the ideation process of digital solutions. How might we overcome health inequalities and fundamentally shift the health outcomes for the people of our community? And how can ensure that those who are digitally excluded aren’t left behind?

Participants will then get the opportunity to go away and formulate their ideas to pitch to a panel including experts from CGI, the Integrated Care System and innovation funding at Dynamo’s Annual Conference on 17 June.
