Designing for Global Health by Personalizing Care Delivery Ting Shih, Founder and Chief Executive Officer ClickMedix \u00a0 Abstract Not all doctors are the same, and not all patients are the same. So how do you design healthcare delivery tools that can be used by doctors and patients alike?\u00a0 ClickMedix took on the challenge of designing for global health to improve the lives of over 1 billion people using mobile phones in 2007. While the idea started at MIT, the real discovery happened when founder\u00a0Ting\u00a0Shih went to test the idea of using mobile phones to deliver health care in sub-Saharan Africa, where there is a lack of doctors, treatments, and over whelming number of patients.\u00a0To date, ClickMedix\u00a0has been deployed in 16 countries, in multiple languages and addresses a variety of disease from HIV\/AIDS to diabetes. The solution consists of tools for doctors, nurses, health workers, and patients, all "personalized" to the needs of each user.\u00a0During this session,\u00a0Ting\u00a0will share her journey and discovery for designing mobile-phone enabled solutions to deliver personalized care so that each patient can live better, healthier, and happier.\u00a0 \u00a0 About ClickMedix One-Click Healthcare for 1B+ People ClickMedix is a global mobile health (mHealth) social enterprise\u00a0founded by faculty and students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Carnegie Mellon University to increase capacity of physicians and health organizations to serve more patients. By enabling existing medical experts to serve more patients, we can address the following global healthcare challenges: Lack of access: Patients cannot easily reach doctors. Lack of funds:\u00a0Patients cannot afford the high cost of healthcare, and governments\/NGOs are unable to subsidize underserved-populations entirely. Lack of medical resources:\u00a0Most countries face severe shortages of trained healthcare professionals, especially medical experts. \u00a0 Our Mission\u00a0is to bring affordable and quality health services to under-served patients, by enabling health organizations\u00a0to reach more patients through mobile phone\/tablet facilitated remote diagnosis, as well as remote training and supervision of their staff assistants, nurses, and health workers.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 About Ting\u00a0 "Globally, most people have a mobile phone, some even before they have electricity, so why not use mobile phones to deliver healthcare so that everyone can access healthcare with a Click?"\u00a0 As the founder of\u00a0ClickMedix, Ting uses\u00a0her decade of experience in designing and launching technology services, along with associated business strategies for US government, pharmaceutical and global education organizations, to build ClickMedix\u00a0from an idea in an MIT classroom to a global enterprise. Her areas of expertise include innovation strategy, product development, lean\/Six Sigma process improvement, operations management, organization change management, and business development. She spent three years as a founder of Click Diagnostics, a social enterprise born out of the MIT Media Lab, conducting mobile health projects and pilots in over ten countries in Africa, South Asia, the Middle East, and North America. She was integral to designing mobile health systems that can withstand unreliable or intermittent mobile network, while satisfying the varied needs of healthcare in underserved communities. She founded ClickMedix\u00a0to build upon the success and learning from the three-year pilot of creating a highly reliable, secure, and user-friendly, HIPAA-compliant telehealth, disease management, and care coordination system that can be deployed quickly to health practitioners and connect patients with medical experts worldwide. Ting leads the design, development, and deployment efforts for ClickMedix\u2019s affordable mobile health and education system. Ting is named Toyota Mothers of Invention in 2015 and Cartier Women\u2019s Initiative Awards\u00a0Laureate\u00a0in 2012 for North America. She is also an industry advisor\/contributing writer for\u00a0Telemedicine Magazine. She holds an MBA from the MIT Sloan School of Management and MS in Systems Engineering from MIT, as an MIT Leaders for Global Operations Fellow and Public Service Fellow.\u00a0 In addition, she holds a BS in Computer Science and MS in Software Design and Management from Carnegie Mellon University.\u00a0 Evening Schedule 6:30 \u2013 7:00 Networking over pizza and beverages 7:00 \u2013 8:30 Meeting 8:30 \u2013 9:00 CHI dessert and more networking!\u00a0\u00a0 Sponsors IBM Research is hosting us and providing food.
