Own Your Healthcare Experience: An Open Source Path

Juhan Sonin
We demand that patients own their data. We demand that healthcare services are open source. Because healthcare is too important to be closed.
We are getting screwed. We’re dying younger, maternal mortality is ticking up, and big money is running healthcare, at our expense. The data that drive our care, the algorithms that dictates our parents care, our neighborhood’s care, our nation’s care, and the everyday services we rely on, feed on our experiences, are governed by black boxes and crooked biases, and are owned by others. It’s our health. Our very lives are at stake. We demand that patients own their data. We demand that healthcare services are open source. Because healthcare is too important to be closed. See how we, the atomic units of the health system, can bend it back to the light.

Most of the free software projects I know do little to none research with their users. Well: the vast majority do absolutely none, and very few do a teensy little bit, most of the time with the most vocal members of their user base. Why is that? Why is free software afraid of user research? This presentation will propose a classification of free software types based on their ideas and attitudes towards user research. The classification is really just a joke, but I hope it will help me debunk ...

During 2020 we spent the year working with the maintainers of pip, the Python package manager. The project was to implement a new dependency resolver and improve pip's usability. It was a difficult project as personally, I knew very little about software package managers apart from doing "pip install". How do you do UX design with a piece of software used by hundreds of thousands (possibly millions!) of users on a small budget? Where do you find those users? Combined with this the maintainers ...
