Technology (Complexity)

This case study describes the co-development and piloting of the Neotree system, which uses an Android-based application in Bangladesh, Malawi, and Zimbabwe to support healthcare professionals and patients and provide insights into population health trends in newborn healthcare quality improvement.

The Cynefin framework is a sense-making tool that can help explicate the perceived complexity of a wide range of issues, including LHS. It is especially useful in terms of allowing shared understandings to emerge through collective sense-making.

This tool is an evidence-based, theory-informed framework, consisting of seven domains to help predict and evaluate the complexity and potential success of technology-supported programs and innovations.

The NASSS-CAT tools can be applied to LHS components as they are being designed, implemented, and evaluated. The NASSS-CAT tools can be accessed through the Interdisciplinary Research in Health Sciences (IRIHS) group at Oxford University.
