In this Strata RX presentation, Jen van der Meer of Luminary Labs challenges health tech startups to design for a higher aim, offering 8 design principals to enhance the lives of the patients they serve.

DOES THE TRIPLE AIM SEEM UNATTAINABLE Improve population health
Improve the patient experience @JENVANDERMEER Reduce the per capita
cost of health care

Meaningful use. Accountable care. Can we set the bar higher?
The names of the following incumbent EMR/EHR providers and the
names of patents and doctors are redacted to protect privacy and
mediocrity.
HIGHER
HIGHER

THE COST OF TECHNOLOGY Thomas Murphy, MD 2001
So here come the startups. The internet kids. To the rescue.
Full disclosure: I am one of those kids. @JENVANDERMEER
To change the world. And we actually think this way as if we
could hold the world in our hands. More ego-maniacal than surgeons,
we are. We come, inspired. And improve human lives.
But we are not without fault. @JENVANDERMEER
We tend to design for the motivated, and the healthy.
We get too excited about startup traction, not excited enough

LETS SET A HIGHER BAR @JENVANDERMEER
@JENVANDERMEER For each solution born onto the health tech
scene, we ask: Are patients lives enhanced by the addition of data?
Do doctors become more wise? Do nurses feel more empowered? Do
spouses know how to effectively intervene? Do adult children of
aging parents get more time in their overly stretched days? And do
these collective interactions actually result in improved
population health?
DATA DESIGN PRINCIPLES THAT SET A HIGHER BAR FOR HEALTH AND
HUMAN DIGNITY @JENVANDERMEER
8 PRINCIPLES: DESIGNING DATA FOR DIGNITY Ethical Sharing Sacred
Habits Deeper MotivationData Calming Eye Contact Double Loops The
Herd Utility in Context Design for @JENVANDERMEER
@LUMINARYLABS
DESIGN FOR UTILITY, IN CONTEXT @JENVANDERMEER
mHealth apps are only beginning to show the benefits of
contextual awareness
Ambient intelligence will become more anticipatory, adaptive,
and transparent
Technology that knows to behave differently in context to where
you are
Simulating a better future mental state
Ambient Commons, Malcolm McCullough Preontological awareness is
faster
DESIGN FOR DATA CALMING @JENVANDERMEER
The problem of alarm desensitization
The problem of data noise
The problem of the quantified parent how to become calm and
engaged parent
The payoff when visualization delivers wisdom, not just
noise
DESIGN FOR SACRED HABITS @JENVANDERMEER
The smart phone The perfect BF Skinner box?
You want minty refreshing taste now, you benefit from tooth
health later. Dan Ariely
Right thing, wrong reason: quantified dog could lead to
self-understanding
DESIGN FOR DEEPER HUMAN MOTIVATIONS @JENVANDERMEER

mHealth apps often fail the motivation test, never reaching the
unhealthy
Deeper motivators: It feels good to volunteer simple answer to
real questions people have
Will altruistic motivators be the most powerful? Contribute to
Science
DESIGN FOR ETHICAL SHARING @JENVANDERMEER

Even if the value of that data delivers a larger public
good
Startups will not necessarily learn the difference between
Informed consent and permission marketing
The true north: be transparent about data sharing
DESIGN FOR EYE CONTACT @JENVANDERMEER
Facilitate human contact: does this chart review increase or
decrease their understanding?
Does this device increase engagement, understanding, and trust?
Or distract?
Aim higher. Diminish the use of screens: wear and forget
sensors
DESIGN FOR DOUBLE LOOP LEARNING @JENVANDERMEER
Single loop learning Consequences Feedback Decision
Actions
Single loop results, where is the why

DESIGN FOR THE HERD @JENVANDERMEER
Social proof = Positive peer pressure

Caregivers are not just a target segment, They are an
interaction paradigm
