Although the Masterclasses are in Dutch, we are happy to provide you with some information about it here. Dutch version can be found here.

Health care is facing enormous challenges. Radboud REshape & Innovation Center is looking for answers to transform to 2.0 – ‘participatory healthcare’ – or as we say in Nijmegen, ‘patient as partner’. Every day in our search we find interesting information, people, innovations, barriers or correct solutions, but we still have many unanswered questions. From the beginning we have shared our knowledge and experience in our network in the form of conferences, articles, lectures and discussions in the broad health care field. And in our REshape program, we always assume that the challenge is greater than Nijmegen, the Netherlands, even larger: a global challenge.

At Reshape Academy, we want to create a place for deepening knowledge ‘onlife’ (a quote from Luciano Floridi in his 2001 TEDxMaastricht talk) about achieving Participatory Healthcare in reality. The direction is clear; it’s time for the next step: how do we get together and produce results? What does this require?

Radboud REshape Academy was created as part of the REshape Innovation Center for accelerating the development of participatory health care with the mission ‘Patient as Partner’. The Center was created by the Board of Directors of UMC Radboud, based on an idea of Lucien Engelen. Our deep conviction is that broad knowledge sharing and networking are important clues for finding solutions to the challenges that we as healthcare organizations face. Therefore we want Radboud REshape Academy open to anyone who actually wants to work to realize Participatory Healthcare. ”To share is to multiply.”

Format: Eight master classes

Radboud’s REshape Academy brings together theory and practical knowledge. Following the successful world premiere of the e-Patient Boot Camp (September 2011) with Dave deBronkart, aka e-Patient Dave, for 2012 we are organizing inspiring master classes on various aspects of Participatory Healthcare. The topics are based on knowledge, experiences, discussions, questions and discussions from our everyday work and people from our network. Leading speakers share their knowledge and experiences. In interactive sessions, case studies are discussed and we provide a platform for ‘lessons learned’ and ‘questions to ask’, from daily practice, throughout the care sector and crossover with business.

In short: after each master class you will have practical tools to get started in your organization, from everyday people ‘with their feet in the mud’.

Radboud REshape Academy is designed for people who have become inspired by the ideas of Participatory Healthcare and want to give concrete form to such organizations. For those who question it up, or have no opinion about it, people who want to follow (below) to see what they do with it.

Who

We are thinking of administrators, supervisors, managers, executives, policy makers, government officials, health professionals, clients, patients, caregivers, prevention, researchers, project managers, communications / marketing, IT people.

We expand the definition of “care organizations” to include everyone who touches or affects the patient: hospitals, mental health, rehabilitation centers, doctors, physical therapists, midwives, home care, child welfare, research institutes, nursing homes, government, developmentally disabled, public health, patient organizations, health insurers, etc. All of them influence what care is, in the patient’s life, so all must understand these changes and make them reality.

UMC St Radboud lanceert nu drie nieuwe apps 

English Press statement to be found here

Het Radboud Reshape & Innovation Centre lanceert vandaag drie nieuwe apps die patiënten helpen om meer regie over hun gezondheid te voeren.

REshape MijnMedicatie
Veel patiënten hebben een medicijnkastje of nachtkastje vol met medicatie, soms op voorschrift, soms op eigen initiatief. Door barcodes te scannen en de dosering in te voeren met de app, verschijnt er een compact overzicht. Patiënten kunnen dit aan hun huisarts of apotheker tonen. Ook is er een app variant, waarmee dit medicatieoverzicht naar de huisarts, apotheek of familie kan worden gestuurd.
http://itunes.apple.com/nl/app/reshape-mijnmedicatie/id491110073?mt=8

REshape HealthTalk
In deze app is een groot aantal zinnen over gezondheid opgenomen die regelmatig in de spreekkamer bij een arts kunnen voorkomen. Deze zinnen zijn via een gepatenteerd systeem (van RE-phrase) zijn beschikbaar in diverse talen. Door een zin aan te klikken, draait het scherm automatisch om en wordt het aan de andere kant in de gekozen vreemde taal getoond. De app is niet alleen erg handig op reis, maar ook in de Nederlandse spreekkamers door de afschaffing van de tolkenvergoeding in de zorg.
http://itunes.apple.com/nl/app/reshape-healthtalk/id491015749?mt=8

REshape MijnZorgBoek
De MijnZorgBoek app is een handig digitaal notitieblokje, waarop patiënten kunnen bijhouden wat hen bezighoudt of opvalt aan hun gezondheid. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan hun gewicht, stemming en medicatieoverzicht. Met één druk op de knop mailen ze hun bevindingen aan de behandelend arts. MijnZorgBoek is een startapp die binnenkort uitgebreid wordt met diverse extra modules, zoals een beweegcoach. Voor de extra modules wordt onder meer samengewerkt met afdelingen van het UMC St Radboud en zorgverzekeraars. http://itunes.apple.com/nl/app/reshape-mijnzorgboek/id482039247?mt=8

De apps zijn geschikt voor iPhones en iPads. Er wordt gewerkt aan versies voor andere systemen waaronder Android en windows.

Patiënt als partner
Het Radboud Reshape & Innovation Centre is onderdeel van het UMC St Radboud. Het Centre houdt zich bezig met de omslag van zorg naar zorg 2.0 participatory healthcare’, in Nijmegen ook wel de ‘patiënt als partner’ genoemd.

Eerste app.
In 2010 bracht het Centre de eerste app uit voor www.aed4.eu, waarbij mensen de dichtstbijzijnde AED kunnen traceren. Deze app is inmiddels meer dan 50.000 keer gedownload en is beschikbaar voor veel systemen. http://itunes.apple.com/nl/app/aed4.eu/id361224605?mt=8

The Radboud Reshape & Innovation Centre today launches his latest innovation the ‘REshape Health Talk’ app based on patented technology (by RE-phrase) that helps patients to be co-director of their health(care).

REshape HealthTalk
Within this REshape HealthTalk app a great number of conversation lines are embedded that can occur in conversations with doctors or nurses etc. These conversation-lines are available in different languages. By selecting a sentence or topic, the app flips the screen around and shows it in the other selected language, where again a reply sentence can be selected.
Besides the use in regular healthcare-visits for non-native speakers or communications-issues it off course comes in handy during travel, might the need of healthcare should come up.
http://itunes.apple.com/nl/app/reshape-healthtalk/id491015749?mt=8

The app is at present available for iPhones en iPads. Versions for android, windows will come up soon. News for that will be published at our website or twitterhandle as to be found below

Patient empowerment is one of the main issues of the Radboud REshape & Innovation Center. But what happens when people want to empower themselves in their last phase of their life? We’ve listened to interesting stories on this subject on the fifth and last REshape Talks evening.
