We can manage depression better with technology
Full text linkProvides a summary of the evidence for internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy, and looks at the three RACGP Handbook of Non-Drug Intervention (HANDI) recommendations for non-drug treatments for depression and arranged for the developers to comment.
Background
Gotzsche, in Lancet Psychiatry, argued that antidepressants produce more harm than good and should be used sparingly. Karange et al showed that GP prescriptions of antidepressants in Australia are continuing to rise, especially in children. A rethink about the treatment of depression is indicated.
Objective
This paper provides a summary of the evidence for internet delivered cognitive behaviour therapy, and looks at the three RACGP Handbook of Non-Drug Intervention (HANDI) recommendations for non-drug treatments for depression and arranged for the developers to comment.
Discussion
The systems identified by HANDI are beneficial in major depression and are supported by evidence. They have not been shown to harm or to be beneficial in depression associated with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or substance dependence. Although little input is required from general practitioners who prescribe these courses, they may form part of a more comprehensive treatment plan. Australia is a world leader in automated internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy. Australian clinicians should take advantage and use these courses.
 
Handi & V
Full text linkHandi & V is a 5-minute, 38-second long animated graduate thesis film that is a story about Grandpa V and his journey through time. After Grandma Handi passes away, Grandpa V lives in sadness. One day, he finds a picture is missing from their family photo album. He begins hallucinating and then travels back through the time of his life with Grandma Handi.
This film is a 2D computer animation that was mostly produced in Toon Boom animation software. It was created in full color and has an original music track. This paper outlines the whole film creation process from the very beginning, my motivations, research, and idea development until finishing with conclusions. It describes all my inventions, obstacles, failures, and successes, as well as the technical specifics of each process
Getting to Grips with HANDI
No full textBackground and AimsThe vision of the Bond University medical program is to offer students opportunities to bring to life their ambitions to becomeoutstanding practitioners, thinkers and leaders, well equipped to deliver evidenced-based, patient centred health care thatmeets the needs of a diverse community.MethodsDesigning and delivering a curriculum that encompasses evidence-based practice ensures that we fulfil our vision. The RoyalAustralian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) has developed the Handbook of Non-Drug interventions (HANDI). It ispromoted as the handiest one stop reference for practical use of evidence-based non-pharmacological treatments and aims tomake 'prescribing' a non-drug therapy almost as easy as writing a prescription. At Bond we wanted to ensure that our studentsused the HANDI resource and considered non-drug interventions at every opportunity of case management.ResultsThe Curriculum team reviewed where HANDI could be incorporated into the 5-year program. The first two years subscribes toa hybrid Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach and supports learners through a range of supplementary sessions such aslectures, workshops, etc. It was agreed that 8 cases would be modified to incorporate HANDI e.g. Back injury with advice asto how to stay active and exercise following a stroke. During Year 3, the PBL cases are replaced with virtual patients via theBond Virtual Hospital (an app). In 'clinical teams', groups of students discuss and manage patients, often several each week.A case-based learning approach is used. HANDI was incorporated into the app cases, with structured questions throughoutcase management. A forum was organised and supported the utilisation HANDI and principles of exercise as medicine. Theyear 4 and 5 clinical rotation teaching sessions were also reviewed to ensure promotion of HANDI. The assessed clerked casetemplates were also modified, students were reminded to review Non-Drug interventions during their presentations.ConclusionThe GP team at Bond had referenced and utilised HANDI as a teaching resource over a period within the GP blocks.It was agreed, that although non-drug interventions were discussed and delivered throughout the program that a strategicreview and implementation of HANDI. This would allow graduates that are fully prepared to commence internship in Australiaor New Zealand, with the critical thinking skills required to interpret and expand the evidence base for practice.Next steps will include a whole faculty approach workshop by including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nutrition anddietetics and sports and exercise students with medical students to review cases and utilisation of HANDI as resource toolfor practice. This approach will support the clinical, interpersonal, teamwork and leadership skills to deliver high quality healthcare outcomes

Algebra diagrams: a HANDi introduction
No full textA diagrammatic notation for algebra is presented – Hierarchical Al- gebra Network Diagrams, HANDi. The notation uses a 2D network notation with systematically designed icons to explicitly and coherently encode the fun- damental concepts of algebra. The structure of the diagrams is described and the rules for making derivations are presented. The key design features of HANDi are discussed and compared with the conventional formula notation in order demonstrate that the new notation is a more logical codification of intro- ductory algebra

A truly 'HANDI' resource
No full textALTERNATIVES TO DRUG THERAPYGPs and patients have an increasing interest in the use of non-drug interventions to treat common conditions seen in primary care. Nearly half the thousands of clinical trials conducted each year are for evaluating non-drug treatments, such as diet, exercise, procedures, and devices. Advances in such treatments in the past few decades have been substantial and diverse — for example, exercise for heart failure and COPD, the Epley manoeuvre for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, and CBT for depression. However, effective non-drug methods are less well known, less promoted, and less used than their pharmaceutical cousins.There are well-established drugs/medications formularies such as the British National Formulary. However, no such formulary or resource for non-drug treatments (interventions) currently exists in the UK.WHAT IS HANDI?The Handbook of Non-Drug Interventions — HANDI — project was launched by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) in 2013 to promote effective non-drug treatments
