We're growing a community to positively disruptor the status quo -- join us! 


Prototype Clients/Collaborators for Integrity by Design:

  • A health care tech/social enterprise example of Integrity by Design in Operations: 
Under the leadership of health care entrepreneur Carolin Silbernagl, dotHIV is a social enterprise at the intersection of health care and internet technology that integrates integrity by design into its founding operations. dotHIV is a pioneer as the first and only social mission enterprise in the new marketplace of top level domains (TLD) created by the internet.  The dotHIV policy advisory group had a kickoff in March 2013. The policy reports and methods from this working group will be accessible and open sourced as a template and tool for other social mission ventures to leapfrog into this emerging market. In April, dotHIV received approval from ICANN and will launch summer of 2014. 

  • A mobile health application (mHealth apps) example of Integrity by Design in Product Development: 
Walter Karlen, PhD, a mobile health application developer and post-doc in bio-medical engineering, agreed to prototype the concept with a series of ethics consultations on an mHealth app designed for community health workers to diagnose pneumonia.   Ethics consultations occurred throughout the design process and began at the outset of concept development.  During usability-prototype testing, the consultations included the technical team, community health workers and the potential patient population.  Integration of the Integrity by Design framework from the outset of product design shaped the product's development.  Results of this collaboration are in preparation for open source publication and were presented at Global Health & Innovation, Yale-USA 2013, Sustainable Rural Health Research Day, South Africa 2013, and UNESCO Technology for Development, EPFL-Switzerland 2014. 

  • An innovation project for 3D Printing of Medical Devices in post-disaster crisis situations: 
Product designer Dara Dotz identified the need for hyper local manufacturing for medical devices while visiting clinics in Haiti that were in dire conditions 2 years post Earthquake.  She identified an initial portfolio of 3D printable products that responded to urgent clinical needs.  Dara consulted with us to review each product concept and to apply the Integrity by Design framework as she prepared to begin prototyping and usability testing.  Dara presented the project at UNESCO Technology for Development Conference, EPFL-Switzerland 2014.

  • Will you be our next collaborator?  

Do you have a health care product, service or enterprise in the early stage of development that is ripe for building Integrity by Design?  We want to work with people who want to build Integrity by Design into interactions with their products, services and enterprises. 

Do you want to build an open source toolbox for building Integrity by Design into health care products, services and operations?   Participate in disrupting the status quo... we make hope happen.



Advisors, Builders, Collaborators & Donors

Ubuntu, an ethos from Southern Africa, describes a way to be- a humanist ethic.  It is the warmth extended to a neighbor or to a stranger.  The human act of coming together to help someone in need.  People take care of themselves in a way that enables the community around to better take care of themselves. (Nelson Mandela talks about Ubuntu)  

Our aim is to empower health care and social entrepreneurs with the tools needed to realize their social impact goals with integrity, so that they can work in a way that honor the wisdom of Nobel Peace Laureate Elie Wiesel, "I don't want to realize my dreams at the expense of someone else's nightmare." 

Our commitment is to foster ubuntu within and through our operations to promote health and human dignity for all by harnessing the power of 21st Century technologies, transparency and open source development applied to health care product development. 

Progress to date has been a team effort with gratitude and appreciation for the support of these advisors, builders, collaborators & designers:

Integrity Architect & Interaction Designer

Kate Michi Ettinger, JD 

Kate, a health care product designer and bioethicist, turned her focus to this issue following a chance meeting in 2011 at Oxford's Emerge Conference with Embrace's CEO who confirmed Kate's hunch: a market gap in the regulation of quality and safety for health care devices poses a challenge for health care entrepreneurs designing products for low and middle income countries.  Research began at Health 2.0 India 2012 to better understand the issues health care entrepreneurs face when designing products in these markets.  In September 2012, two health care entrepreneurs opted to "prototype" the concept of building Integrity by Design into their ventures.  These prototypes continue in a "learning loop."  In April 2013, TEDxBarcelonaChange invited Kate to spread the idea of Integrity by Design for "Positive Disruption in Global Health." TEDxChange sponsored by the Gates Foundation. TEDxBarcelonaChange: Integrity by Design.
