Improving healthcare through remote, large-scale collaboration and consensus-building

This methodology arises from a project that was co-funded by the University of Cambridge’s Wellcome Trust Institutional Strategic Support Fund.

On this page you can find out about the methodology used to build processes rapidly and at scale online in a highly inclusive way. It mobilises the ingenuity and knowledge of diverse people to create solutions together. We developed an online platform Thiscovery.org to make it possible for more people to take part in research and consultations.
