As the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted with greater urgency than we have felt in a generation, healthcare sits at the intersection of hundreds of questions: the natural science of research and investigation, the needs of people in pain, the pressures on and from their families, the structures of economic systems, and the needs and capacities of people trying to deliver it all come together to create a knot that cannot be unravelled. Like any complex, entangled, human problem, health must be approached as a whole.
Our SenseMaker® tool and surrounding methods have been used in the context of healthcare across the world for over a decade, across a wide variety of subjects which are both patient-facing as well as around structural and workforce issues. These approaches aim to democratise the research and engagement process by placing the respondent at the intersections of statistics and storytelling, asking them to be the owner of their own narrative. Located within an ecosystem of participatory methods, whether you’re looking to understand the experiences of healthcare professionals and leaders, patients and their relatives, or get a pulse check on employee wellbeing, our programme provides a platform for real-time distributed network response to key issues, as well as in defining collective insight to taking action.
This programme is open to governmental, not for profit, academic institutions, and occasional commercial organisations who orient themselves towards the public good. We also welcome students who are interested in experimenting and gaining experience with our tools.
