“…informal communications, and agreement on norms, principles, values, and rules (Cogburn, 2003). When a collaboratory is developed in an Internet-based environment, technology allows teams to conduct research irrespective of the geographical or temporal distance among the researchers and participants (Craver & Gold, 2002).…”

A technology selection framework for supporting delivery of patient-oriented health interventions in developing countries

Health information technologies (HIT) have great potential to advance health care globally. In particular, HIT can provide innovative approaches and methodologies to overcome the range of access and resource barriers specific to developing countries. However, there is a paucity of models and empirical evidence informing the technology selection process in these settings. We propose a framework for selecting patient-oriented technologies in developing countries. The selection guidance process is structured by a set of filters that impose particular constraints and serve to narrow the space of possible decisions. The framework consists of three levels of factors: 1) situational factors, 2) the technology and its relationship with health interventions and with target patients, and 3) empirical evidence. We demonstrate the utility of the framework in the context of mobile phones for behavioral health interventions to reduce risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This framework can be applied to health interventions across health domains to explore how and whether available technologies can support delivery of the associated types of interventions and with the target populations.

“…Such a virtual infrastructure can facilitate the blending of “technologies into an information infrastructure” enabling “applications beyond the traditional analysis” (Wulf, 1993, p. 854). Cogburn adds that a collaboratory can consist of more than a network of technologies; it can also include “social processes; collaboration techniques; formal and informal communication; and agreement on norms, principles, values, and rules” (Cogburn, 2003, p. 80). As such, the collaboratory framework could advance the MBE field.…”

Linking Mind, Brain, and Education to Clinical Practice: A Proposal for Transdisciplinary Collaboration

It has been suggested that the field of Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE) requires a stable infrastructure for translating research into practice. Hinton and Fischer (2008) point to the academic medical center as a model for similar translational work and suggest a similar approach for linking scientists to research schools. We propose expanding their model to include a formal role for clinicians. Including clinicians who work with children with learning problems brings an important perspective to the translational work. For example, the integration of the concept of ''differential diagnosis,'' a core precept in clinical medicine, would bring needed diagnostic specificity to the field of MBE. We describe a virtual infrastructure for collaboration, or ''collaboratory,'' consisting of research scientists, educators, and clinicians, linked to an academic institution. We anticipate that MBE graduates can play a critical role in the collaboratory model. With additional training, they can become ''neuroeducators'' capable of moving comfortably among the disciplines, building linkages, fostering communication, and facilitating collaboration.Increasingly, neuroscientists are identifying the neural processes associated with brain development, the acquisition of academic skills, and disorders of learning. Integrating this emerging knowledge into education has been difficult because it requires collaboration across disciplines. The field of Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE) has emerged as a transdisciplinary
