Festival welcome Director of the UCL Institute of Digital Health’s welcome I would like to warmly welcome you to the 2nd UCL Festival for Digital Health and I hope that you are as excited as I am about the wide range of events we have in store. Since the success of the first Festival for Digital Health in 2014 we have been busy! In June 2015, we launched the UCL Institute of Digital Health (IDH) which brings together the extensive digital health community across UCL, facilitating new collaborations and external partnerships. Our world-class expertise includes developing clinically effective websites and mobile apps extending treatment options for patients, developing new pathways to improve health care systems, and using data analysis approaches to inform public health policy and understand disease. However as all 11 of UCL’s faculties are involved in the IDH, our expertise also includes fields which is not immediately associated with digital health, such as ethics and technology enhanced learning. Digital health field is developing rapidly and the impacts it will have should not be underestimated. The Festival of Digital Health provides an opportunity to gain new insights and explore how digital approaches and data will affect healthcare providers, clinicians, individual citizens and policy makers, and transform healthcare over the next decade. I would like to thank the festival organisers Dr Patty Kostkova and Dr Louise Chisholm, as well as all of the event chairs who have contributed to the organisation of the festival. Last but not least I would like to thank our sponsors and partners, without whom it would possible to host such a captivating series of events. Kind regards, Prof Ann Blandford, Director of the Institute of Digital Health
Festival Chair's Welcome As the Chair of the 2nd UCL Festival for Digital Health it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Festival taking place at UCL from 22nd February 2016 until 4th March 2016. Building on the overwhelming success of the 1st UCL Festival for Digital Health in 2014, mobilising over 1000 participants from UCL, UCLPartners and industry, the 2nd FDH aims to capitalise on new collaborations and interdisciplinary opportunities created by the newly established Institute of Digital Health. We still have a long way to go to overcome the limitations of traditional single-disciplinary academic approach and create results transforming healthcare delivery at national and international levels. Held under the auspices of IDH, the 2nd FDH succeeded in showcasing the best of digital health research and innovation from UCL/UCLPartners, start-ups and industry. We are privileged to welcome senior speakers from UN, Chatham House, MSF, OIE, LSHTM, Scientific Institute San Raffaele, Brest Cancer Now, NHS England and other leading health organisations. The 2nd UCL Festival for Digital Health features 10 Events, dozens of excellent speakers, games/app exhibition showcase, global health poster competition, self-care group competition and 2 new initiatives: the launch of ReccommendMe (22nd Feb) and the Rosalind Franklin Appathon Prize (23rd Feb). The 2nd CBC Behaviour Change Conference (24-25th Feb) promises to deliver an internationally leading event while the high profile public policy debate on data sharing in health emergencies (2nd March) cannot be more timely due to the unfolding zika virus outbreak. We are grateful to our sponsors and partners: UCL Enterprise, UCL Partners, Digital Catapult, the Grand Challenge of Human Wellbeing, UCL Public Policy, UCL School of Pharmacy, and the Farr Institute. Finally, I would like to thank everyone who contributed to preparing the 2nd UCL Festival for Digital Health: IDH, event Chairs, speakers, exhibitors, student helpers, participants and everyone else who helped to make the FDH a truly unique event. In particular, I am indebt to Louise Chisholm, the 2nd FDH coordinator, who did an amazing job bringing the Festival together. Kind regards, Dr Patty Kostkova, Chair of the 2nd Festival for Digital Health

New technologies are increasingly being used for health promotion; however, researchers and practitioners often lack knowledge regarding the process of developing such interventions. This half-day workshop will introduce the Behaviour Change Wheel for developing behaviour change interventions and debate the challenges of designing digital interventions (e.g. online or mobile phone). Participants will plan an idea for a potential intervention, deciding on the target group, the intervention aim, and which elements of behaviour to change. They will develop ideas for technological 'features' using behaviour change techniques.
Feedback from previous workshops "I really enjoyed the course, its particularly relevant and useful" "This has been really useful to link COM-B, intervention functions and BCTs together" "Found really useful and enjoyed the group work"

Where: Seminar room floor 4, 66-72 Gower Street, London, NW1 2DA Chairs: Dr Dominic Furniss and Dr Mine Orlu Gul
This interdisciplinary workshop is designed to create connections between ideas and between people. The ideas revolve around the design and use of medication and technology:
How do we design medication and technology that is useful, usable and used?
How do we understand patient needs and improve their experiences?
How can we influence behaviour and improve adherence?
How do we design systems of medication and technology to be satisfying and safe?
In terms of creating connections between people this event will explore research synergies between UCLIC and The UCL School of Pharmacy, but we welcome people from other related areas in UCL too.

Introduction and short talks Dr Dominic Furniss, senior research associate and Dr Mine Orlu Gul, lecturer in Pharmaceutics Welcome Dr Dominic Furniss will briefly outline examples of cross-disciplinary working he has been and is involved in, between Pharmacy and UCLIC UCL Grand Challenges Scheme Dr Mine Orlu Gul will talk about the UCL Grand Challenge, and their current initiatives CARE-ERRs project (Learning about carer errors and resilience strategies) Equipment usability in using home enteral nutrition for older people Dr Mine Orlu Gul: Introduction, project plan and application
12:30
Dr Dominic Furniss: Methods, patient and public engagement and data gathering
Dalal Alsaeed: Results
Interdisciplinary group work The UCL School of Pharmacy is interested in the design and use of medication. The UCL Interaction Centre (UCLIC) is interested in the design and use of technology. There are some cross-cutting themes which stretch across the two groups in terms of human wellbeing including:
Engaging with vulnerable groups and PPI (Patient and Public Engagement);
Patient centred design and user centred design;
Designing for older populations;
Patient safety in hospital and at home;
Human error, adherence, and resilience strategies; and behaviour change.
Both groups are interested in understanding and designing ’systems’ to make life easier for people. It is worth spending a lunchtime to explore these synergies further to share knowledge, networks and new potentials for fruitful collaboration. Interdisciplinary groups will work together to design and present a poster on a theme of common interest, i.e. similar to the ones mentioned above or on the more general theme of the design and use of medication and technology. The poster should communicate the complementary interests and approaches between the two groups.
13:30
Discussion Groups will share feedback from the session and discuss opportunities for collaboration in 17 the future.
When: 29/02/2016 15:30—18:00 Where: London Knowledge Lab, 23-29 Emerald Street, London, WC1N 3QS Chair: Prof Ann Blandford Speakers: Prof Nadia Berthouze; Dr Charlie Davie; Jenny Shand; Prof Steve Hailes; Dr Fiona Stevenson; Dr Kingshuk Pal; Bernadette Porter CBE; Judges: Prof David Patterson; Simon Dixon (NHS England); Dr Henry Potts; Dr Pam Sonnenberg, Bridget Coleman
With new technologies (patient-controlled electronic health records, unprecedented access to health information, wearables and sensors for monitoring, novel digital interventions, etc.) there are great new opportunities for prevention and for managing long-term conditions. There is also a financial push: as more becomes possible, it will be necessary to manage more care outside clinical settings, with people taking greater responsibility for their own and their families’ health. These changes present new challenges: in re-thinking the role of the patient, of their family and friends, of the clinician and the system of care, and in reviewing what is and should be possible using digital technologies. We will present ongoing research into digitally-enabled approaches to supporting self-care and shared care. We will then work in groups to explore utopian and dystopian visions of the future, and a small prize will be awarded to the group presenting the most compelling vision. 18

Session 1 : OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF BIG DATA IN HEALTHCARE RESEARCH Chair Prof Ruth Gilbert, Professor of Clinical Epidemiology Title, Speaker
Description
09:4510:00
Mining massive datasets for research and care , Dr Holger Kunz
Electronic health records, data generated and collected during normal clinical care, are increasingly being linked and used for translational research. This talk will outline the opportunities and challenges for using large, linked electronic health records for research to improve health care and clinical outcomes for patients.
10:0010:15
Big data analytics: challenges and opportunities, Dr David Prieto
Most statistical methods in health research are tailored for data from carefully design studies and collection protocols. Big data is unstructured, multi-source, highly multidimensional and repeatedly measured over time. This talk will outline methods to analyse big data for epidemiological research.
10:1510:30
Novel methods and opportunities for running clinical trials using electronic health records, Dr Alireza Moayyeri
There is a widespread concern that the clinical trials pipeline is ‘broken’. We need to shorten the time and lower the costs of converting a basic science discovery, through clinical research and trials, into a new treatment in routine patient care. This talk will explore how electronic health records research offers unprecedented opportunities to address ‘prequel’ and ‘sequel’ to trials and improve the design and conduct of randomised clinical trials, reducing cost, risks and delays in his process.
10:3010:45
Linking administrative data across government sectors in England, Prof Ruth Gilbert
This talk will outline how we use linked administrative data for research to inform policies and services for children and families, and improve understanding of the life course.

This talk will demonstrate how healthcare records can be used to identify and treat diseases in hard to reach populations including migrants, homeless persons, drug and alcohol users and prisoners. The focus of this presentation is to show how large, linked health care data can be used for disease prevention and improved health among children. The talk will provide examples including use of data to determine patterns and trends in child injury mortality to identify groups at particularly high risk. Genetic studies in populations share design features of randomised clinical trials, the pivotal investigation in drug development. The presentation will illustrate how genetic studies could reduce the high failure rates and improve the efficiency of drug development, with benefits to society.

When: 02/04/2016 11:00—13:00 Where: Digital Catapult, 101 Euston Rd, London, NW1 2RA Event Chairs: Dr Patty Kostkova and Dr Olivia Stevenson Panel Chair: Prof David Heymann, Head and Senior Fellow, Centre on Global Health Security, Chatham House, UK In partnership with: LSHTM and ISARIC
Health threats and natural disasters are frequent, varied, potentially catastrophic in magnitude and transcend borders. Emergencies such as the recent SARS and Ebola outbreaks or the Haiti earthquake, have taken thousands of lives and cost the global economy billions. They have shown the limits of the capacity of current health systems to respond. To ensure global health security during emergencies it is critical that experts, decision-makers and emergency personnel have access to real-time information and accurate health-related data for risk assessment and rapid response. This debate focuses on rapid data sharing for emergencies. Interoperability of traditional surveillance data from public and animal health agencies, enabling the One Health vision, is the essential first step, however, social media and mobile phone generated data streams increasingly play a major role during natural and man-made health emergencies. From monitoring population mobility using mobile phones to fight human-transmitted infections (e.g. H1N1, Ebola), to tracking crowds during the Boston marathon bombing, or coordinating emergency aid delivery and humanitarian relief operations during the 2010 Haiti earthquake disaster, new data are helping to transform coordination and response. However, in contrast to the availability of ever-increasing amounts of data and increasing technological feasibility, global data sharing agreements and transparent regulation are virtually non-existent. Striking a balance between data sharing, personal data protection, stakeholder needs, and public26 good in order to ensure an effective global health response in real-time emergency situations remains a key challenge.
This roundtable policy discussion will address this urgent problem. Leading UCL experts, policymakers, healthcare professionals and charities will come together to examine the policy frameworks for data sharing in emergencies supporting the needs of traditional stakeholders as well as privacy of usergenerated content to prevent chaos and save lives. Please note: this is a closed event, through invitation only. Participants: Prof. David E. Alexander, University College London Dr Philipp du Cros, MÊdecins Sans Frontières Prof. John Edmunds, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Prof. David Harper, Chatham House Prof. David Heymann, Chatham House, Panel Chair Prof. Peter Horby, University of Oxford Dr Patty Kostkova, University College London, Chair of the 2nd UCL Digital Health Festival Prof. Trudie Lang, Global Health Network Dr Neo Mapitse, World Organisation for Animal Health Dr Laura Merson, University of Oxford Nicola Perrin, Wellcome Trust Fabien Quintard, GLOPID-R Secretariat, Fondation Merieux Dr Olivia Stevenson, UCL Mr Mustafa Suleyman, Google DeepMind Elizabeth Surkovic, Government Office for Science Dr Chadia Wannous, UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) Ms Sharon Witherspoon, Independent consultant

When: 02/04/2016 14:00—19:00 Where: Digital Catapult, 101 Euston Rd, London, NW1 2RA Chairs: Dr Edward Fottrell and Dr Patty Kostkova
This event presents some of the key opportunities and challenges created by digital technology applied to global health. Applying medical, public health and technological perspectives, discussants will focus on recent successes and opportunities for outbreak alerts and response, as well as the application of technology to capacity building and strengthening of routine health systems. Grounded in the realities of health and health systems in some of the world’s poorest settings, the event will highlight tangible solutions whilst looking forward to new frontiers of research and sustainable development. A photography and poster exhibit will showcase global health projects and enable informal networking. Event attendees will vote for the best photo/poster, which will win a prize. Topics for consideration by presenters, panellists & chairs: To what extent do disasters/outbreaks drive innovation in digital health? Do longer-term tragedies of global health and development which receive less global media attention (e.g. general poverty, child mortality, HIV/AIDS, malaria) also drive innovation? If not, how might this be addressed? To what extent are outbreak and response activities and innovations in digital health seen as separate from existing health systems and what are the consequences of this in terms of funding, implementation and capacity building? How might digital technology bridge gaps between outbreak/response activities and more routine health systems strengthening? How might the application of digital technology to population health surveillance (for routine purposes as well as outbreak alert) alleviate or create ethical issues in terms of data use, data ownership, consent, etc.? To what extent are the risks and benefits equally distributed within and28 between populations?

Next Event: IT’s About Your Health This event is organised by the BCS - The Chartered Institute for IT NORTH LONDON BRANCH in association with UCL IDH, UCL Computer Science, and Code4Health. Can an open platform help deliver integrated, efficient, compassionate health and care? Application of digital technology is central to addressing challenges faced by our health and social care services, and to implementing the NHS Five Year Forward View, which talks of providing the “electronic glue” to enable different services to work together. The need to represent heath and care data in an open, shareable, and computable format has never been greater to allow the consumption and processing of such data across multiple settings and systems within the health and care economy. Is openEHR the way to achieve this? Watch this brief introduction to openEHR https://youtu.be/pC6mUtqqK9U, then come to learn more, discuss and share your views. Our expert presenters include: Peter Coates – NHS England Dr Ian McNicoll – freshEHR Clinical Informatics Professor Ann Blandford – UCL Institute of Digital Health **This event is for everyone interested in health, social care, open technology and society** 35
