The ISPOR Signal Series welcomes Christopher Lawer, creator of Umio and the Umio Community, global advisor and educator, and author of Interactional Creation of Health: Experience Ecosystem Ontology, Task and Method, and Flow: A Short Guide to Real Experience Flow Creation® (forthcoming in May 2022). Known for his original thinking and models of whole real experience and experience ecosystems, Chris will present a new “radical” empiricism of health and its interactional creation. Deploying a novel, wide definition of health set within real experience, this session will explore how we can better see real experiences with health, disease and illness, ask how and why do real experiences form, become different, and recur, and address the origin and persistence of health inequalities and disparities within social groups, places, communities and populations. Daniel Pesut, Emeritus Professor of Nursing at the University of Minnesota will host a conversation with Chris around the implications of his thinking and method for health economics, value, and outcomes, for nursing and other key healthcare professions, and for creating health and preventing/addressing disease from the perspective of whole real experience and via trans-disciplinary models of purpose and action. It will address the shortcomings of the prevailing health and related social sciences and associated innovation/design and co-creation practices.
