Socio-Technical Resilience for Targeted Community Healthcare
Dr. Daniel Gooch is a Lecturer in Computing at the Open University, UK. He received his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Bath in 2014. His research interests are focussed around Human Computer Interaction (HCI), particularly in the design
The Human-Computer Interaction team members have been focussing on developing a minimal viable interface that will allow an early pilot deployment for sharing and privacy control. The proposed solution is to have a tablet-based control mechanism for controlling the privacy
After evaluating various off the shelf and specially developed sensors, this month we created a short list of technologies that will form the basis of our pilot studies. With the help of colleagues at Sensor Platform for Healthcare in a
We spent the last couple of months talking to a variety of family, friends, and health professionals connected to our key pilot participants, about their support roles and how they could be supported by STRETCH. We will continue these conversations
The project will develop a patient-centred digital healthcare support infrastructure that is able to integrate and coordinate data and capabilities from both automated sensing and the human ‘circles of support’ ranging from medical professionals, care workers, community support and relatives.
Meet with AgeUK Milton Keynes to further investigate the management of the patient discharge process. Iteratively improve the overall architecture of the system Research more on the technology that could be used in the project (wearables, sensors and batteries) Continue Interviewing supporters

We met with social workers in Cardiff and talked about the process of discharging older adults from hospital in Cardiff and Swansea. We plan to meet with them again and work with them to better understand how the discharge process
Now we are in the process of expanding beyond the conversations with our 5 pilot participants, by talking to a variety of family, friends, and professional supporters. Then we can build up an understanding of the different types of support
