Camden Coders #2 – What is Digital Healthcare?

It's the seemingly simple questions, isn't it? Ever wondered what "Digital Healthcare" actually means? In the second of our Camden Coders series, Maldaba Director Mark Clements reflects on what we mean by the term and the implication of this for the future. In true Maldaba-style, he does this by going back over a hundred years! (After all, understanding where we came from tells us a lot about where we might end-up.) Read More

Camden Coders #1 – Digital Healthcare Barriers

Welcome to the first instalment of our new Camden Coders series! In the series we celebrate Maldaba's north London origins (both Mark and Lorenzo are local Camden boys, after all), and look at different perspectives, aspects and predictions for the future of digital technology, Maldaba-style!

When is Shared Decision Making actually Shared?

There is a lot of publicity about Shared Decision Making. For example the term comes-up a lot in regards to healthcare, when a patient is included in the dialogue with the healthcare professional to decide on the most appropriate course of treatment. Sounds great, except that the issues around implementation and barriers to entry for daily use can result in at best an inconsistent approach to how Shared Decision Making is perceived by both professionals and the general public. Given that Maldaba's been involved in this area since before the term had become common parlance, I thought it was time to write about our perspective of design, development and implementation.
