Lesson #1:
Use technology to give people super powers
Слайд 20 @timoreilly
Our Phones Used to Be the Tool of Superheroes
Dick
Tracy: 1946
Star Trek: 1964
Слайд 21 @timoreilly
An Everyday Modern Superpower
Слайд 22 @timoreilly
This is the key question
How do we use the
capabilities of our devices
to build better human experiences?
Слайд 24 @timoreilly
How often have you filled out

Look At Everything Uber Does For Me
Lets me call
a car from anywhere
Automatically tells available drivers where I am
Lets me know how long it will be till my car arrives
Lets me contact the driver by text or voice - anonymously
Lets me pay without having to pull out my wallet
Gives me a detailed receipt showing exactly where I went and how long it took - which lets me complain if the driver didn’t go the optimal route (and Uber gives refunds)
Lets me rate my driver, and uses that rating to manage the quality of service
Слайд 31 @timoreilly
How a Doctor’s Visit Ought to Work
Phone detected on
entry to office, hospital, or ER
Insurance automatically checked
Medical history automatically loaded into system
Vitals and other quantified self info automatically loaded
Data automatically used to sort queue and give wait times
If ER, possible discharge to available nearby outpatient clinic or doctor’s office
Portable medical record updated as patient exits
(Aside: We also need payment reform!!!)
Lets me rate my experience, and uses that rating to manage the quality of service
Слайд 33 @timoreilly
Lesson #4:
Build software “above the level of a
single device”
Слайд 34 @timoreilly
“Why be distracted into looking backwards by the commodity
cloners of open source?...There is a new frontier, where software "collectives" are being built with ad hoc protocols and with clustered devices. Robotics and automation of all sorts is exposing a demand for sophisticated new ways of thinking....Useful software written above the level of the single device will command high margins for a long time to come.”
- Dave Stutz, On Leaving Microsoft, February 2003

Слайд 40 @timoreilly
Minimum Viable Product
“that version of a new product
which allows a team to collect the maximum amount of validated learning about customers with the least effort.”
- Eric Ries
Слайд 41 @timoreilly
We’ve taken this for granted in web applications. But
now, with Internet of Things applications powered by big data back ends, Lean Startup principles apply to every real world service!

@timoreilly
“Only 1% of healthcare spend now goes to diagnosis.
We need to shift from the idea that you do diagnosis at the start, followed by treatment, to a cycle of diagnosis, treatment, diagnosis...as we explore what works.”
-Pascale Witz, GE Medical Diagnostics

“We know about all these new technologies. What we don’t know
is how to organize ourselves to use them effectively.”

Are New Ways of Organizing People
Слайд 58 @timoreilly
“Uber is a $3.5 billion lesson in building for
how the world *should* work instead of optimizing for how the world *does* work” - Aaron Levie of Box.net
Слайд 59 @timoreilly
That’s the bar we need to set
for reinventing
healthcare and health insurance

Rethink Workflows and Experiences!
Слайд 66 @timoreilly
Learning from Failure
Слайд 68@timoreilly
Rescuing healthcare.gov
A team of engineers. They came in and worked tech
wizardry, right?
Maybe some of that, but a lot of the work was debugging the communications failures that led the contractors to build software components that didn’t work together.

“…one privilege the insured and well-off have is to excuse the
terrible quality of services the government routinely delivers to the poor. Too often, the press ignores — or simply never knows — the pain and trouble of interfacing with government bureaucracies that the poor struggle with daily.”
— Ezra Klein
Слайд 77@timoreilly
“User needs. An empathetic service would ground itself in the concrete
needs of concrete people. It’s not about innovation, big data, government-as-a-platform, transparency, crowd-funding, open data, or civic tech. It’s about people. Learning to prioritize people and their needs will be a long slog. It’s the kind of change that happens slowly, one person at a time. But we should start.”
