TEKTIC Workshop Recap:Using Information and CommunicationTechnologies for Healthy Public Engagemeby Jennifer Cordeiro

As a multi-disciplinary research unit in B.C. ocused oneHealth issues, EKIC researchers have undertaken a vao projects over the past three years. What quickly emerge

rom this portolio o work is that public engagement inthe healthcare context is emerging as a key priority area ohealth administrators, proessionals and patients alike. Inan eort to get a dialogue about this started, the EKICteam decided to plan and host a workshop where individurom this eld could come together to learn more aboutthe current research landscape in this area and begin togenerate new ideas and plans or actualizing this vision.

A discussion about using inormation and communicationtechnologies (IC) or public engagement is a timely one

new eHealth applications and policies are being introducesolutions to many o the health systems ongoing challeng

We know that to ensure uptake and adoption by intendedusers we need to really understand the possibilities andbarriers these technologies present. Many workshop registagreed and also had their own questions about using ICpublic engagement such as: What strategies can governm

se to overcome the barriers (privacyaws etc) and to manage the risksnherent in engaging the communityhrough technology, especially social

media? and How can we eectivelyvaluate public engagement campaignsn a timely manner to shape uturengagement? and How can wese technology to engage vulnerableegments o the population?nd even the most basic,

What will people use?Te EKIC Usingnformation and

Communication echnologiesor Healthy Publicngagementworkshopn September was anpportunity to start ndingnswers to these questions.

Te morning consisted owo panels o speakers andacilitated question andnswer discussion period. Dr.

ntoine Geissbhler, liverom Geneva via WebEx,hared his experiences ashe President o Health on the NetHON Code), a website dedicated toeveloping standards to validate health

normation online. Following thisresentation Dr. Cameron Normaniscussed his work on projects aimingo engage youths in healthy behaviours.

Next Dr. Gerri Sinclair provided her

erspective as the CEO and ExecutiveDirector o the Digital Media Programt the Centre or Digital Media. Shehared new applications and programseing introduced to patients tossist them in their sel-care. And, toonclude the rst panel o presentation,

Ms. Corinne Campney, Director oHealth Strategy or ELUS HealthSolutions, highlighted ELUSsplan to develop and support varioushealth applications that will allow thepublic to access and manage their ownhealth inormation more eectivelyand eciently in the coming years.

With a snapshot o national andinternational projects and programs, thesecond panel o speakers highlightedcurrent EKIC research investigatingthe use o ICs in public engagement.Dr. Michal Fedeles and Ms. Katherine

with us? What are thehurdles? Do we havethe data needed to moveorward? and Whatabout privacy concerns?

We all recognize thatanswering these and otherquestions will take more

Have you ever wondered what attracts peopleto witter? Or perhaps you think its a wasteo time yet you still signed up in case someoneasked or your handle (AKA your twitter

username). I you have signed up and dont use it weekly, chancesare that you barely remember your login credentials or perhaps you

tweet while bored in a meeting. Dont worry; you are not alone!My name is Cisco, a EKIC student aliate and or those o youthat know me, I live online and breathe social media. Yes, I also havean unconnected lie but I use 2.0 technologies because as an earlyadopter, I believe we can learn about society and even improve it, bystrategically deploying inormation and communication technologiesin health. For example, witter took me about a year to understandin a glocal context. Ipso acto, this monthly column will eaturethe 2.0 actor - how to use social media to improve your eciency,communicate more eectively, briefy keep up-to-date with yourEKIC-related research, among other hyperconnected issues. Mymission is to save you the time I invested in learning these tools andmake you a contextual expert in approximately three hundred words.

witter, why should you care? Well, in utilitarian terms, witters valueis not derived rom knowing what your ollowers (thats the people

whose updates you choose to see in your eed/stream by clickingollow) say about their daily lives. Well, perhaps, i you can get ariend or amily member to update their eed on a regular basis (thusknowing about the people you care about in an un-intrusive, timely

manner). Rather, its value is derived by: 1) using other peoples eedas an inormation lter or the newest led developments; or 2)knowing what people rom around the world in your discipline areup to. Stay tuned, next month I will teach you the basic One, wo,Tree, Cha Cha Cha! o inormation lters. In the meantime, iyou wish to ollow me online, Google ciscogiii and youll nd me.
