New Computationally-Enabled Theoretical Models to Support Health BC&M
Breakout topic
We need to model processes.
We need applied models of process. How can we
develop models that provide you with guidance on
what to do. To design a building or a soda bottle,
this is the set of steps you need to have, a step-bystep model of the process of whatever behavior
change we want to achieve.
How can we use fast iterations to build models of
process

New Computationally-Enabled Theoretical Models to Support Health BC&M
Semantic Interoperability of Model Creation
• Processes for testing a theory (model) are slow
and unresponsive
– Develop new methods for generating hypotheses (eg
through new approaches to data collection,
aggregation and pattern generation coupled with
new approaches to data mining and analysis).
– Establish new ways of testing theoretical fidelity (ways
of moving failure to the left).
– Drive greater semantic interoperability of models and
processes, so that it is easier to learn from successes
and failures (code repository wiki/ontology)
– Create new economies of data sharing – re-use data
from commercial settings whose immediate use has
been exhausted in research settings - eg
annonymised store card data, annonymised service
use data

Problem area #1 Limited Models
Challenge/barrier:
• Current models explain limited set of variants,
but are held up as sacred cows, which must be
referenced to validate an approach.
• Bold step: encourage publication of failure create new ways of learning from experiences
of failure in scientific research
