<p>new page</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>On November 26 2021, we hosted an hybrid activity as part of the hackathon held by the [https://gdhub.org/ Geneva hub for Global Digital Health].<br /> <br /> The topic was: '''How can technology help us collectively define the rules that affect millions of people?'''<br /> <br /> The aim was to address political and economical barriers to health (critical public health), in particular how to overcome the centralization of decision-making, and the prescription of universalist, closed-source solutions to millions of people.<br /> <br /> A [https://youtu.be/G5ij3G2xmGw launch video] was released.<br /> <br /> == Goals ==<br /> To explore how digital democracy methods and open-source technology can help thousands of humans:<br /> <br /> # hear each other’s reality and build trust;<br /> # reach consensus about common priorities;<br /> # put in commons resources to develop freely reproducible solutions within days, acknowledging our realities are plural, subjective, and locally rooted.<br /> <br /> == Assumptions ==<br /> We acknowledge that:<br /> <br /> * our health improves when we are part of decision-making;<br /> * open-source technology is up to 99% cheaper than IP-based innovation<br /> * today’s technology combined with appropriate coordination methods allow for collective decision-making, more rapidly and adequately than decisions made by an elite subject to legal systemic corruption (when the interest of a minority prevails over the collective interest).</div>
