An analysis of a feature within the SDP process as discussed in the New Agora paper is the 7 modules such as the application, time phases, discovery, design and action. The 7 modules bring simplicity to the democracy of the process and provide organization within the process to any complex situation. The democratic decision making on difficult issues gives each person involved an opportunity to be heard since everyone has an opinion.
These features apply because the application would have to be evaluated; the time phases would show multiple instances such as trends with users, how long transmissions take, and how valid the transmission actually are. Discovery of the technology may take some time, but would depend on the need along with how well the application works.
The process would be helpful in the innovation idea of using a mobile device to analyze a patient and transmit the information to their physician. Since every new idea has to be evaluated, having a panel of various individual to test the product would be very helpful in gaining popularity as the application and/or product is used.
While watching an episode of the Doctors, shown on channel 2 at 9:00 am, on Thursday, November 1, 2012, a women demonstrated that using a scope placed over the camera on the iPhone, one could examine the inside of their ear and send that information to a monitor and see what is taking place in the ear canal. The other tool was an application that could detect a person's heart rate, both resting and after activity. These results are recorded and analyzed. This was not much different from the what was presented on the Ted Talks website. This type of technology would be helpful going forward and beneficial for those who may not have transportation, but can send this information to a physician for evaluation.
The SDP support planning for innovation and change provides a platform that allows for evaluation and justification as to why the technology would be useful for many going forward. Identifying different uses help support why mobile devices will change the lives of many and the way medical care is provided.
The paper also covered the different methods such as consensus, NGT and Delphi which look at how decisions are comprised while looking at spreadthink, which covers ideas all over and groupthink, which covers the consensus of everyone convinced to think in a certain way. The methods offer variety to a diverse group with different ways of viewing a situation, but leads to one idea and conclusion.
The diagram below is more insightful in the how we see things, the different shapes could be viewed as the issues and ideas later broken down to a more organized manner to show clarity.
The two forces are universal and goal which have the greatest impact on
this innovation because of the overall objective. Its influence is in the steps and the process followed resulting in the universal goal for the decision making process.
It is interesting how a process that was used so many years ago can still be used for future innovations in different ways to accomplish a decision. We make take for granted making a decision, but when you want to make the right decision in the best interest of many, you need group diversity to participate and the SDP process helps to facilitate this decision making process in an orderly manner without persuasion. The future of this decision making process is by way of mobile device and voting options and a wireless device to acquire answers with anonymity.
