"Co-creation" and "Experience Co-Creation" in Health Care

From www.slideshare.net - May 13, 2014 12:40 AM

Co-Creation and Experience Co-Creation are two terms which appear usually as puzzling to those who learn about it for the first time. They often think it is like doing or working together. Instead, it is just because of failing cooperation and collaborative work approaches that co-creation is relevant. It is highly successful in many of branches. To health care there are  projects that worked with it. But in general the Health Care Business is not easily changing to these unavoidable methods to create personalised care, and an effective eco system and context to enable self management by patients. Here's the introduction.

Here's my take on co-creation of health care. Based on my experience with health care innovation and reform, it is the most suitable method to arrive at sustainable innovation with all stakeholders. This is an introduction.

Could tissue engineering mean personalized medicine?

From www.ted.com - January 3, 2014 5:17 AM

Each of our bodies is utterly unique, which is a lovely thought until it comes to treating an illness -- when every body reacts differently, often unpredictably, to standard treatment. Tissue engineer Nina Tandon talks about a possible solution: Using pluripotent stem cells to make personalized models of organs on which to test new drugs and treatments, and storing them on computer chips. (Call it extremely personalized medicine.)

I often watch TED talks, specifically ones from the TEDMED conference. They keep me updated as to what's going on in modern medicine and what's the future to come. This particular TED talk was about personalized medicine which has become a relatively new concept in modern medicine. Personalized medicine is medicine that can be made to tailor to a specific person's genes. This is definitely something that I would like to research and hopefully personalized medicine becomes advanced and widely used in the future.

Supercomputer models one second of human brain activity

Supercomputer models one second of human brain activity | Co-creation in health | Scoop.it
From www.telegraph.co.uk - January 14, 2014 12:52 AM

The most accurate simulation of the human brain to date has been carried out in a Japanese supercomputer, with a single second’s worth of activity from just one per cent of the complex organ taking one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers 40 minutes to calculate.


Researchers used the K computer in Japan, currently the fourth most powerful in the world, to simulate human brain activity. The computer has 705,024 processor cores and 1.4 million GB of RAM, but still took 40 minutes to crunch the data for just one second of brain activity.


The project, a joint enterprise between Japanese research group RIKEN, the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University and Forschungszentrum Jülich, an interdisciplinary research center based in Germany, was the largest neuronal network simulation to date.

It used the open-source Neural Simulation Technology (NEST) tool to replicate a network consisting of 1.73 billion nerve cells connected by 10.4 trillion synapses.


While significant in size, the simulated network represented just one per cent of the neuronal network in the human brain. Rather than providing new insight into the organ the project’s main goal was to test the limits of simulation technology and the capabilities of the K computer.

This show just how powerful the human brain truly is... very intriguing stuff.
Miro Svetlik's curator insight, January 15, 2014 3:40 AM

It is somehow comforting that we start performing this kind of tests. At least it places current infrastructure in perspective with what we will be facing in biocomputing if we dont change hardware. It would be really interesting to perform the same test on the supercomputer with neuromorphic chips but for that we have to wait a while I guess.
