| First Gist..May be doing this totally wrong. Someone help por favor. | |

| Trying to build an open-source software for a community portal of a crowd-sourced population health program. The Gist: | |
| We're piloting a health program featuring 100 free events (80% of them imagined and implemented by community groups like Botanical Gardens, US Space and Rocket Center, CrossFit, YMCA, etc.); free iPhone app with DailyFeats that allows participants to compete in challenges and get points for rewards like charitable donations or Amazon Giftcards. | |
| Here's the (now semi-public) beta landing page http://healthyciti.es/ | |
| Why github.. we need a place for a global community to share innovations. Open-source is the shit so let's get it built on git. | |
| Features: | |
| Say you could visually navigate through case studies (event types) -- maybe with an interactive infographic mapping events(activities) that are color/icon coded by category or several categories - I'm thinking a gephi map or some sort of 3D tag where you could change the reference, maybe you want to see events over time or you want to cluster events that are similar - the central hub would be a main event from our beta pilot happening now in Huntsville AL. So for example, Alabama's largest yoga class; Healthy Cook-off or Fitness Competition. The surrounding nodes would be smaller, similar events like bootcamp fitness, cooking demos or TEDTalk screenings. | |
| Users could visually navigate which categories are saturated with event ideas and which need more. -you could reach out to people who might fit that need or create a call to action for volunteers to recruit more people into the program. Nodes could link to people so you could click or hover for expanded info. People could tag themselves as "mentors" so if a new healthy city leader wants help, he or she can search categories and be matched with an experienced participant. | |
| Idea forum, where icon or colors code topics of FAQs - people could submit feedback, ideas, Actions (for example our city now wants to crowd-source a list of restaurants that source locally, have vegetarian food, and start a rating system for healthy dishes..I have no idea how to implement this at present) and Innovations throughout the program - say you came up with a great way to get a group of doctors to give 5 weeks of presentations explaining how the body works. You could spec it out, create an outline, and upload it as an Innovation into the case study model. | |
| How do I format this so it is actually usable and understandable to developers? What resources do you need? A better description? my email is amy@healthsterling.com |
