Abstract

How can we use digital technologies to formulate healthcare policy mechanisms that address the world’s critical unmet needs and anticipate potential crises with policies before they arise? In the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, MIT’s Center for Collective Intelligence (CCI) leveraged two “Superminds” to combine the practice of expert-based crowdsourcing with problem-solving and scenario planning on two open-source platforms: The “Pandemic Supermind Activation” Initiative and “Trust CoLab”. Both exercises showed the importance of global asynchronous activity in policy formulation, and further highlighted the need for decision-makers to utilize these approaches to create tangible policy mechanisms before healthcare crises devastate the globe.
