How Patient-Generated Data Enhance Patient-Provider Communication in Chronic Care: Field Study in Design Science Research
Background: Modern approaches such as patient-centered care ask health care providers (eg, nurses, physicians, and dietitians) to activate and include patients to participate in their health care. Mobile health (mHealth) is integral in this endeavor to be more patient centric. However, structural and regulatory barriers have hindered its adoption. Existing mHealth apps often fail to activate and engage patients sufficiently. Moreover, such systems seldom integrate well with health care providers' workflow.Objective: This study investigated how patient-provider communication behaviors change when introducing patient-generated data into patient-provider communication.Methods: We adopted the design science approach to design PatientHub, an integrated digital health system that engages patients and providers in patient-centered care for weight management. PatientHub was developed in 4 iterations and was evaluated in a 3-week field study with 27 patients and 6 physicians. We analyzed 54 video recordings of PatientHub-supported consultations and interviews with patients and physicians.Results: PatientHub introduces patient-generated data into patient-provider communication. We observed 3 emerging behaviors when introducing patient-generated data into consultations. We named these behaviors emotion labeling, expectation decelerating, and decision ping-pong. Our findings show how these behaviors enhance patient-provider communication and facilitate patient-centered care. Introducing patient-generated data leads to behaviors that make consultations more personal, actionable, trustworthy, and equal.Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that patient-generated data facilitate patient-centered care by activating and engaging patients and providers. We propose 3 design principles for patient-centered communication. Patient-centered communication informs the design of future mHealth systems and offers insights into the inner workings of mHealth-supported patient-provider communication in chronic care

How to Operate Profitable Decentralized Mobility Platforms: Insights from Three European Union Research Projects
The challenges of climate change, securing the mobility of people and goods, as well as the steadily growing potential of digitalization and automation are cornerstones, that will have a decisive influence on the transformation of our mobility in the next decade.Decentralized mobility platforms are a centerpiece of the mobility shift and omnipresent. Research into profitable business models for these types of platforms is underrepresented. In our poster, we will use data from three European Union funded research projects to outline how business models can be devised and what profitable business models consist of

The Ethical Standard-Setting Function of the Economic Organization – A Socio-legal Approach
In this thesis, the focus is on law - which can be described as a social organisation and thus a social construct. Taking a constructivist approach to the ideas of law and economic theory - more specifically, the theory of the firm - this thesis argues for a bottom-up approach to law-making via economic constitutionalism. Law is not the opposite of economic rationality, but there is an underlying constitutional structure. This paper focuses on how ethical standardisation in the form of global ethical juridification feeds into economic constitutionalism via the generic form of the organisation through its effective allocation of resources within the firm. Aspects of good corporate governance and transnational constitutional norms are linked. This work contributes to the Socio-Legal Studies discourse that understands constitutions not exclusively as a legal concept. By combining institutional economic approaches, legal theory and corporate governance, a soft concept of economic constitutionalism in the pluralistic structure of internationally conflicting partial constitutions is demonstrated. In the course of this paper, it will be shown that when we turn attention away from the state as the main source of law-making, we also turn away from political theory and the assumptions and concepts of balance of power, constitutional power, welfare state democracy, nation-state legislative monopoly, etc., and focus instead on the economic system, which fundamentally follows the inherent system logic, the language of price/non-price. The concept of the firm in the present and the emerging future is a normative network of contracts, social and societal relations that contribute to the democratisation of the understanding of law through legal pluralism, due to the emphasis on the norm-setting function of firms and communication channels for describing problems and solving of societal transnational challenges
