Developing a framework

Dr. John Dinsmore presents a framework aimed at improving user adoption and confidence in assistive technologies for individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism. Significant health inequalities exist within this population, leading to higher health needs that are often unmet. Telehealthcare technology has shown potential in reducing hospital admissions, making it a cost-effective solution in the long run. This initiative emphasizes the importance of education, self-management, and technology to enhance health outcomes for individuals with ID and autism. Contact Dr. Dinsmore for insights into healthcare innovation.

  1. Developing a framework To Improve User Adoption and Confidence in Using Assistive Technologies Dr. John Dinsmore – Health Innovation Lead Centre for Practice & Healthcare Innovation Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

  2. Basic Issues ID & Autism • Significant health inequalities compared to the general population (e.g. Cooper, Melville & Morrison, 2004) • Higher levels of health needs than the general population (e.g. Wilson & Hair, 1990; Kapell et al, 1998) and these often go unrecognized and unmet (e.g. Lennox & Kerr, 1997) • Tele-healthcare technology has been seen to reduce hospital admission over standard care alone (e.g. Cooper & O’Hara, 2010) - Now going mobile! • Tech interventions - Expensive in the short term, if successful at keeping individuals out of hospital can prove cheaper in the long term, saving respective health systems money (McLean et al, 2011).

  3. Ireland: IDS – TILDA • 753 people > age of 40 with an ID - recruited from the National Intellectual Disability Database (NIDD) – Prof. McCarron (PI) Report 2011Example Health Issues: • 61% - Overweight or obese. • 56.5% - Not received easy to read information on keeping healthy • 69.1% - Never received easy to read information on healthcare services • 1 out of 5 of carers felt that their health had suffered www.idstilda.tcd.ie

  4. The Road Forward +

  5. Building a Framework Health Professionals Client Data Guidelines RA 1: Self/Support Management RA 2: Health Informatics Knowledge Base

  6. Conclusions • BH/Self Management/Health informatics model - Increase patient confidence in understanding and managing their condition & using technology. • Home based education and rehabilitation will be of increasing importance to enhance patient outcomes. • Research Area 1: Improving knowledge alone is not enough – need to confirm structure and content to self-management, educational and behavioural change programmes as well asthe technology used with ID & Autism. • Research Area 2: Needto refine the best practice models for implementation (Health Informatics to aid Service Re-design).
