10 NonHealth Levers for Health Outcomes
Health Governance Roadmap for LGUs
Here's a draft LGU Health Governance Roadmap from a few years ago.
Thursday, August 6, 2009
Possible Research Topics
Possible Research Items
1. Health Cividata
Public information like Wikipedia, Google Maps, Wikimapia, allow citizens to make better-informed decisions.
How can Philippine health data be crowdsourced, pooled, and opensourced into a highly mashable format so that more civic groups can participate in health governance and service delivery

2. Indigenous health –
-Estimated 3M indigenous people in the country
- Many are marginalized economically, geographically, and culturally by the mainstream health system
3. Business continuity
- Swine flu, TB, and other emerging infectious diseases are a significant threat to business continuity, esp. call centers
- What industry leadership mechanisms are available/needed to make businesses more responsive /resilient in the face of potential epidemics?
4. Solar Disinfection of Water Feasible as a Philippine Policy?

5. SMS-based water tapping solution - The local water utility in NCR loses 50% of its water to illegal water tapping. This also reduces water pressure, which results in increased contamination of water in the pipes. Some sonar-based phone device exists in Africa, but it needs to be retooled for Philippines

6. Telemedicine
There's plenty of work to be done on telemedicine through pharmacies, sari-sari stores, schools, etc
http://clickdiagnostics.com/knowledgecenter.html
How can we implement this with Hapinoy?

7. Sugar is the OS on the One Laptop per Child project
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2255304751539750822
There is a team putting Sugar on a USB stick, so that a child can bring his OS-apps-documents around in a USB stick.
Sugar-Takbo is a Sugar-based app that coaches a pupil on self health care loosely based on the video below

8. Alternative budgeting
9. Micro certification registry
10. FilAm Legacy health fund
- There are 17t Filipino MDs and 100t nurses in the US
- 501c-3 and mission related investments allow tax deductible donations for the Philippines health system
- How can 1 billion PhP endowment be raised to catalyze FilAm-Filipino innovations in health?
11. Sowatch and prov investment plan
12. Celedu for health
Put links
13. Tb offsets
Put links
14. MDR Island – expected 14,000 MSR cases in
15. Voices for Health
Many sectors are marginalized in the Philippine Health system, ex: Indigenous people, fisherfolk,

Changing the Axis of Development Interventions
I was walking by a university one weekend and saw a group learning aikido in the yard.
How can we apply techniques from aikido in development work?
1. when pushed, pull. when pulled, push.
2. use opponents momentum
3. if you have to push too hard, you're not pushing in the right way.
4. use circular motion
5. use leverage

Emotional Hostage-taking
I was just on the subway home tonight when two young women in the train I was in started shouting at each other inside the train. It affected the emotional energy in the entire train.
Somebody pushed the alarm, and in the next stop, a transit staff came in to check our cab. She reported into her walkie-talkie and the train would not start moving, and we knew it was because of these two arguing ladies. By this time, the shouting had died down, and other passengers where egging them to get off the train so that we could move on. One lady, a smart looking woman in her early 20s clung to one of the rails inside the train, refusing to budge.
I knew that they were holding up, not only our train, but the trains behind us, and the passengers downstream who were waiting for our train to move on.
How often are decisions or systems held hostage because emotions get in the way? Palestinians and Arabs, environmentalists and businessmen, preachers and scientists...
