Tiny Medical Apps secures 2nd Place @ INTEROPen Care Plan Hackathon
Tiny Medical Apps (TMA) achieved second place at the December 2020 INTEROPen Care Plan hackathon. The team demonstrated a dynamic Personal Health Record designed for elderly individuals with Special Educational Needs, leveraging Patient Cloud and Digital Health Passport platforms.
Team Kaleidoscope
The project focused on three key principles:
- John Farenden: "We need a strategy for the care plan based around the person, not the provider"
- Taffy Gatawa: "A standard is needed to make information relevant at each point of care"
- Neil Robinson: Integrated dynamic care plan
One Care Plan Vision
The solution emphasized:
- Person-centered approach
- Relevance across multiple care situations
- Integration and dynamic adaptation
Care plans were designed to evolve based on time, condition changes, location shifts, care provider transitions, anticipated and unexpected events, and data inputs from both patients and healthcare professionals.
Implementation Details
Using Discovery Data Services (London) infrastructure, the team demonstrated a dynamic care plan for a fictional patient named Derek. The prototype integrated NHS Login authentication and FHIR resource access through early-stage Patient Cloud technology, combined with the Digital Health Passport's existing UX/UI framework.
The demonstration highlighted data availability gaps and implementation challenges for future development iterations.
