Feedback On "Operation Opioid-GPS" from Stanford mHealth Colleagues

Excerpts from peer reviews with our commentary to follow later:

What worked? 


  • Your website is amazing. Your idea appears well thought out and seems to solve a significant problem. Interface seems easy for health care workers to use.
  • Good job, ideas have been well developed and the methodology adopted is clear
  • Great idea and video
  • Great presentation and prototype

What could be improved? 


  • No evidence of customer interviews. It looks like you have done a solid literature review, but it is unclear if you have talked with potential customers or shown them your prototype to get feedback.
  • The prototype could me made more explicit and show how informations are being gathered and which alerts/warning are associated with them.
  • The app functionalities
  • Perhaps have a pain level input that allows users to slide from low - mild - sharp -extreme to add some info to the level of pain experienced.

What was unclear?


  • The app seems to create awareness of where there are gaps in the supply chain. What is your plan to make sure someone is looking at the data and filling those gaps so that people are getting the medications they need and not suffering from needless pain? What is your revenue model?
  • The Business mode is unclear
  • It seems that the team identified a real problem and is moving in a right direction to address it
  • It was clear

What other ideas should be considered? 


  • If you get this working, there is also a huge gap in the insulin supply chain for diabetes, especially in developing countries and rural areas. Once your infrastructure is in place, with minimal modification, your technology may be able to be used to serve that very large market as well. If you get to that point, feel free to contact me and I will share the research I have already done.
  • It would sometimes be difficult to prompt the location from the patient. Rather, the apps could detect it automatically.
  • What algorithm should be used to decide where (which patient) to go according to location, pain level, distance to the intervention team and other associated costs or parameters?
  • Your main focus maybe should focus on a kind of campaign so that those who can change those regulations change something...
  • Add pain relief techniques or exercises.
