And so I’m off to @w3c’s TPAC, when all the working groups get together to make some progress on their own features of the web and to learn from what everyone else is up to.
#tpac2018

On my mind:

1/7
• Credibility and fake news: can we build something into the web platform to help search engines and social media sites work out what to prioritise?

2/7
• Verifiable claims and identity: does the web need some standardised way for you to prove that you are you, or that you have a degree from your university?

3/7
• Spatial data: what else must we agree to publish geospatial data on the web?

4/7
• Trust: the more we make the web simpler to use (obscuring URLs, for example), the less info our users have on whether to trust the site they’re on. How do we nail usability and adequately arm our users?

5/7
• Privacy: are we giving spec authors enough info to address this in new features?

6/7
Also, werewolf. We will absolutely be playing werewolf. (No better way to learn how to suss out people’s actual motivations... Sure, you say you’re a simple villager. But are you really? Isn’t that just what a werewolf would say?)

More to follow.

After reading Google’s announcement that they no longer plan to deprecate third-party cookies, we the @w3ctag wanted to make our position clear.

Third-party cookies have got to go.

We have updated our TAG finding Third-party Cookies Must be Removed to spell out our concerns.

Third-party cookies are not good for the web. They enable tracking, which involves following your activity across multiple websites. They can be helpful for use cases like login and single sign-on, or putting shopping choices into a cart —

It’s here! The @NHSCOVID19App for England and Wales is going live today. It will help each of us to keep our loved ones safe.

It also keeps our personal information private.

To get it:
• iOS: apps.apple.com/gb/app/nhs-cov…
• Android: play.google.com/store/apps/det…

Here’s how it works:

1/ Mobile phone, with NHS COVID-19 App on it, in a pair of hand
@NHSCOVID19app Exposure notification: Using Apple & Google’s Exposure Notification APIs, your phone pays attention to when you’re within 2 meters of someone for more than 15 minutes.

How it protects your privacy: covid19.apple.com/contacttracing
or
google.com/covid19/exposu…

@NHSCOVID19app
2/ People near each other, with mobile phones looking for each
@NHSCOVID19app Local risk scores: Using the postcode district (the first half of the postcode) that you give the app — the only info it has about you — it shows you the COVID-19 risk score for your area. This lets you plan to keep yourself safe.

Thrilled we can announce a new £250m AI Lab in @NHSX!

gov.uk/government/new…

We will be transforming some of our community’s best efforts to improve health and care, using applied AI.

1/4
Cancer screening and detecting results on scans, predicting load on beds or medicines, detecting patients at risk of post-op complications… The AI lab could do a lot to improve the data-driven NHS and care system we know we need.

2/4
It’s early days, but we hope to bring together clinicians, academics and AI researchers, combined with our users — patients and staff alike — to work on problems we face:

Today we launched @NHSX. After lots of planning and staffing and talking with many of you about what’s needed — it’s finally a thing.

#NHSXLaunches

1/
We talked today about our @NHSX missions:
1. Reducing the burden on clinicians and staff, so they can focus on patients
2. Giving people the tools to access information and services directly
3. Ensuring clinical information can be safely accessed, wherever it is needed

(@NHSX’s missions, cont)

4. Aiding the improvement of patient safety across the NHS
5. Improving NHS productivity with digital technology

You’ll be hearing about those a lot. They’re focusing much of our work.

Today’s @NHSHackDay was our ecosystem at its best: clinicians, entrepreneurs, carers, patients, and developers all setting themselves a user need and building a prototype to fix it.

And it was a great honour (and great fun) to judge with @wendyclar and @GillianLeng.

1st prize: Porteroo

Rather than porters rushing round to get/deliver routine collections of blood & specimens, this team created a sign for each collection pt, with a “if urgent, scan this QR-code” to send the specific specimen into the urgent queue.

#nhshd 2/
They built the back-end on a vehicle-delivery-problem algorithm, to create efficient routes & direct the most appropriate porter to collect an urgent specimen—and an app to show each porter where they were needed next.

Elegant work w clear user need + clinical benefit

ICYMI: I’m delighted that we are welcoming the brilliant @matthewsgould as CEO of @NHSX!

We’ve also shared a few new details about NHSX...

1/6

gov.uk/government/new…
First up... we need a CTO for @NHSX. This person and their team will get to define and deliver the technical architecture for the NHS and social care.

The new CTO will also oversee @NHSX’s engineering, skunkworks and infrastructure work.

2/6
From July, @NHSX will mandate internationally recognised technology & data standards across the NHS—so that all systems can talk to each other.

This initially includes SNOMED-CT, ICD-10, HTML5 & WCAG 2.1 AA

Every project developed in the NHS will be released as #opensource
