1. Global City Teams Challenge
September 29-30, 2014
Report Out:
Remotely Caring for Our Most Vulnerable Citizens In-Place During A Pandemic
Jason Scott, Brenda Bannan, Sam Abidi, Hung Trinh, Betty Levine Julian Goldman

3. Global Cities have vulnerable populations Travel is difficult
Susceptible to contagious disease
Los Alamos
National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center

4. Or? Challenges & Opportunities:
Pandemic – “epidemic of infectious disease that has spread through human populations across a large region”. All resources are constrained during pandemic.
Challenges & Opportunities:
Diagnose and treat those who can’t travel
Early dx; early tx through remote presence
When go to ER?
Reverse quarantine?
Assess treatment
Or?
Los Alamos
National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center
H1N1 2009

5. Proposed Project Scope
Description
Automate aspects of detection, triage, and treatment in the face of pandemic of infectious disease
Provide early detection of onset of disease; remote support of local treatment by non-skilled people; avoid unnecessary travel to ER and exposure of other people
Activate the DrugDroneTM Home Delivery Corps – to support therapy
Partnerships required
Sensor networking
Epidemiologists
Healthcare professionals
City Planner
[Montgomery County]
MGH OpenICE Platform

6. Impacts/Benefits Empower family/community to deliver care
Reduce ED/ER visits
Reduce spread of contagious diseases
Improve training effectiveness and efficiency
Create a learning environment to improve quality
More effective use of strategic national stockpiles of medications, medical devices, and supplies
Not limited to home environments

7. Project Action Plan Major Tasks Milestones Identify required sensors
Develop means for sensor deployment by unskilled users. What data is required?
Local and remote data acquisition, storage, playback, analysis from sensor networks
Workflow modeling / business logic
Close interoperability gaps
Milestones
Storyboard scenario
Identify technology and capability gaps
Contact domain experts for additional detail

8. Demonstration Demonstration scenario Storyboard of scenario
Demonstrate end-end use case and key supporting technology
sensor suite; data flow; decision support drone
Model current state and expected improvements, impact on disease spread, cost savings
Consider pilot with Montgomery County
