The CHERISH-DE Centre - Challenging Human Environments and Research Impact for a Sustainable and Healthy Digital Economy
Lead Research Organisation:
Swansea University
Department Name: College of Science
Abstract
The CHERISH-DE Centre at Swansea University is predicated on an extensive understanding of the human context and condition alongside the potential and limitations of digital technologies. It draws on - and unfolds - the broad experience and talent available to it, in its multidisciplinary researchers, to weave new socio-technical materials that will provide effective, comforting and pleasing fabrics to support future living. We combine researchers (both in the Centre and in our partners) from social science, computer science, economics, medicine, arts and humanities and law.
Over the past decade, the Swansea team has developed a unique focus on multi-disciplinary work within challenging human environments. Specifically, we have collaborated with a broad range of stakeholders to understand and address fundamental challenges connected with health and social care; resource constrained communities; and, safety and security.This perspective has built a platform of enabling concepts, technologies, policies and approaches ready to facilitate next stage digital economy innovations and the people skills required. The CHERISH Centre will use the notion of an extreme and challenging human environment as the fulcrum to drive understandings of how future products and services can evolve to fit and extend the human condition.
By focussing on a person's lived experience in relation to the three challenging human environments and contexts (C1-C3), we will maximise the likelihood that digital innovations address real human needs and values and hence lead to effective products and services. Each interconnected context theme will be led by investigators from a mix of disciplines.
*C1 Health and social care (e.g., medical devices, e-health, health informatics, patient services);
*C2 Resource Constrained Communities (e.g., novel devices and services to access technology for social development and economic regeneration);
*C3 Safety and Security (e.g., cyberterrorism, cybersecurity, 'dark web').
Using the lens of a challenging human environment, the CHERISH-DE Centre will provide concrete, diverse impacts, stimulating and supporting digital innovation by:
*producing compelling case-studies, proofs-of-concepts and toolkits to platform future product, policy and service development that will enrich the social, economic and cultural life of UK citizens.
*creating and equipping a cadre of next generation Digital Economy (DE) researchers. The Centre will begin life with a dedicated core of experienced multidisciplinary research leaders, along with Early Career Researchers (ECRs) who have already been developed through the distinctive DE style of working. This team will draw in, train and innovate with strong discipline researchers across the host institution and partners in the UK - including the other DE Centres and related activities - and internationally. This growing team will not only be able to do DE-type work in private and public sector organisations but, critically, will be a credible and powerful advocate for the approach's methods and motivations.
The Centre has been shaped and will evolve through the support and intense engagement with key private, public and third sector stakeholders including the BBC, DVLA, Microsoft, IBM and, critically for the economy, a broad and deep network of Small to Medium Enterprises

Planned Impact
The CHERISH-DE Centre has impact at its heart. The Case for Support and the rest of the proposal detail the broad and diverse real and enduring impacts the Centre will foster - e.g., a portfolio of medical and social care demonstrators to stimulate new ways of working in hospitals and care contexts, sustaining and enhancing life; a framework to assist in the social and economic regeneration of a significant urban context, stimulating other City Regions in the UK to combine digital and physical interventions for truly involving local communities in the future development of their neighbourhoods; and, toolkits that enable the previously intractable formal proof led methods of computer science to be deployed by non-experts in critical safety and security domains.
In addition to providing a scaffold for significant new technologies, tools, policies and approaches that speak to the three challenge contexts, the Centre will pioneer cross challenge interactions. This approach will demonstrate the value of disrupting well established solutions in each area by applying impact-led thinking from others. For example, the multi-faceted approach to social care provision in the community can be applied to security contexts. So, the use of multiple agencies and supports to provide robust, integrated care to the vulnerable suggests a framework for digital and cyber security that is distinct from the single-point, highly engineered approaches in some conventional approaches.
Throughout the duration of the project, the Centre management team and all that engage it is endeavour will be focussed on this question: What measurable change is the work making to our society and economy? We will establish, and evolve, a series of measures of impact with our partners and others who join our activity to monitor and steer the work so that high-impact activities are prioritised. These measures will include:
A) Products and services stimulated by the work. The toolkits and frameworks we produce through open innovation are catalysts for private and public sector organisations. We will track both quantitatively and qualitatively the use of these resources. Our ambition is high: in pilot approaches that are built into the Centre we saw a six fold impact multiplier from each £1 invested.
B) People developed and enabled. Our aim is to provide a vastly enhanced human DE infrastructure to the UK. We will monitor this through personal development reviews; career tracking; and surveys of our partners and others to ensure that the people we are fostering can flourish and fit within the private, public and research sectors they will lead in the future.
C) Policies and approaches impacted. Impact in this arena does not happen - often - by chance or diffusion. The Centre has strong partners and a core agenda that is attractive to policy makers; and, an experienced team that has engaged actively with such stakeholders in the past. From the inception of the Centre we will gather evidence that the work is impacting civic operations and the wider public through monitoring policy statements, press reporting and local and national and international government actions and changes related to our work.
In addition to the £3M+ already leveraged from research users, we will assess the Centre's impact success against these measures as follows: 100 ECRs trained (nationally) through the Digital Economy Crucible; 75 international Fellowships (50 outward, 25 inward); 100 secondments with research users; 10 open innovation stakeholder-Centre spin out companies; 50 impact-driving proof of concept, toolkit and framework projects; and, £3 million additional income generated from interdisciplinary collaborations to sustain the Centre beyond the core funding. These figures are based on our wide experience of user engagement in large-scale University projects funded by RCUK and the EU.

| Description | CHERISH-DE officially started in July 2015. But actually, it's been in the lifeblood of Swansea University for many decades. At Swansea, we're celebrating our 100th anniversary in 2020 and we've always sought to do excellent things with impact for the society and the economy. We are adept at working across disciplines, drawing in people from the arts and humanities, from medicine, from social care, from engineering to work together on difficult and important problems. We want to cherish the precious smallness of everyday life, of what it means to be human in this future world. During the last 18 months of the initial funding, we championed digital technology that is shaped by the hands, the hearts and the voices of as many people as possible. Moving on, we hope, to the next stage of CHERISH, because our work is not yet done, and there are many more things to achieve. |

| Title | Survey of software engineering in code used in published papers |
| Description | Background: Computer code underpins modern science, and at the present time has a crucial role in leading our response to the COVID-19 pandemic. While models are routinely criticised for their assumptions, the algorithms and the quality of code implementing them often avoid scrutiny and, hence, scientific conclusions cannot be rigorously justified. Problem: Assumptions in programs are hard to scrutinise as they are rarely explicit in published work. In addition, both algorithms and code have bugs, effectively unknown assumptions that have unwanted effects. Code is fallible. Any model interpretation that relies on code is therefore fallible, and if the code is not published with adequate documentation, the code cannot be scrutinised. In turn, the scientific claims cannot be properly scrutinised. Solutions: Code can be made much more reliable using software engineering good practice. Three specific solutions are proposed. First, professional software engineers can help and should be involved in critical research. Secondly, "Software Engineering Boards" (supplementing and analogous to Ethics or Institutional Review Boards) must be instigated and used. Thirdly, code, when used, must be considered an intrinsic part of any publication, and therefore must be formally reviewed by competent software engineers. The paper's Supplementary Material includes a summary of professional software engineering best practice, particularly as applied to scientific research and publication. |

| PI Contribution | At the suggestion of the National Clinical Informatics Lead (Nursing) for NHS Wales Informatics Service (NWIS), we propose to explore linking into the electronic records of Hywel dda University Health Board (UHB), to inform wider adoption. The current re-development offers opportunities to integrate ADRe (Adverse Drug Reaction), with new features. |
| Collaborator Contribution | A research proposal was written for working in 3 areas. Workshops were undertaken in Hywel Dda and Aneurin Bevan. (attached) ADRe was made available on the Swansea University website (ADRe). ADRe was added to Hywel Dda's Care Partner electronic record system by IT staff. This was driven by clinicians. Extensive changes were needed before the text was able to fit with the current version of ADRe. The new features we requested (objective 2) are not possible, without further funding. The CMHT used paper copies of ADRe and scanned them into the electronic records, as this was easier than using the electronic version. However, using ADRe resulted in clinical gains (below). We are hoping to complete the proposal as a quality improvement initiative, using the allocated funds. |

| Organisation | Singleton Hospital |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Hospitals |
| PI Contribution | The secondment was undertaken by Professor Cathy Thornton from Swansea University Medical School into the NHS, specifically Singleton Hospital, on various dates during 2019. This was to support development of a new diagnostic test that could replace the current screening test for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a type of diabetes that occurs in pregnancy. The main goals were to liaise with staff who run the GDM screening clinic to optimise the recruitment strategy for the early stage testing of our proposed new test and to put in place qualitative studies with pregnant women and health care staff to gauge level of interest in a test to replace the current glucose tolerance test. A secondary objective was to map differences in the GDM screening pathway across the UK ahead of future work in multiple sites and to establish collaborations in sites outside Wales. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Direct sight of and interaction with the running of the GDM clinic and conversations with staff working in the clinic over the secondment helped shaped the recruitment strategy for a pilot study and has enabled us to go on and recruit 260 women so far (Sept 2019 - March 2020). Staff in the clinic have also helped shape the topic guide for interviews with pregnant women and the survey for healthcare staff which will be implemented once we return to work post-COVID-19. |
| Impact | We have established a steering committee to oversee delivery of projects around this topic and this committee includes patient and public involvement and NHS representation reflecting relationships established during the secondment; public engagement has been curtailed by the COVID-19 crisis but we continue to seek opportunities in this area as well as consider citizen science contributions by planning testing of sample collection approaches with pregnant women themselves with ongoing oversight by and interaction with the local antenatal unit. We have initiated work with Queen's University Belfast as the first site for wider UK working. On a visit to Manchester links were established with a South African team who have expressed enthusiasm for exploring the utility of our proposed new test in South Africa where there is an enormous public health burden of GDM. We have also been able to capitalise on a relationship established with Imperial College London to move the work beyond GDM and consider other obstetric disorders such as preeclampsia. This has led to formal collaboration with Uganda for the work in preeclampsia and this has been supported recently by the University's Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) pump priming scheme. |

| PI Contribution | Over three days in December 2016, the research team demonstrated their Muttering R5 Robot at the AtBristol Science centre in Bristol. Visitors observed the robot for several minutes and then completed a short questionnaire. Many visitors, both adults and children, subsequently engaged us in conversation about robots and AI, and for some it was clearly an important and meaningful engagement.This work generated similarly significant results showing that vocalisation of the decision making within the robot helped observers achieve a much better model of the robot than when using a smple, real time graphical representation of the robot's internal state and decisin processes. Also, people report consistently high levels of confidence that they know what the robot is doing, even when their reports clearly indicate that they do not. |

| PI Contribution | Anthony Charles completed a UK placement at NSPCC, 40 hours in total. Anthony's secondment centred around three interlinked goals. Namely, to: 1. Scope out research and policy work concerning 'sexting' by young people. This was achieved through the sharing of work between the host agency and the University, and through engagement with managers within the NSPCC and key, officers in partner. 2. Identify collaborative research opportunities. This was met through constructive discussion between the University and NSPCC, and the subsequent involvement of partner agencies in these discussions. A plan for a three tiered approach to operationalizing research in this area of activity was agreed from the development stage, piloting and through to pan-Wales research 3. Explore the possible nature and function of e-based solutions to advise and support young people who are affected by 'sexting'. This was realised through continuing collaboration concerning how a 'package' could be created, engaging young people as partners for change and as research leaders, to further research the pressures faced online by young people. Anthony's activity worked towards the building of a relationship with the NSPCC Policy and Public Affairs Officer. This involved e-mail correspondence, telephone calls and visits to the NSPCC Wales and London HQ offices. In addition, engagement also took place with other key NSPCC staff. This included the Wales Policy Manager; Wales Research Officer; UK Lead for On-line Safety and UK Research Manager. Through this engagement, further knowledge concerning the strategic priorities of NSPCC, work being undertaken, and gaps in practice and policy development were discerned (plus, support for an on-going research relationship between the NSPCC and the University was fostered). Through the secondment, and responding to what the literature and research suggest, further meetings took place with other partner agencies that have specialist knowledge of 'sexting' and who also are eager to become research partners. |

| Organisation | South Wales Police |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Public |
| PI Contribution | Over the course of one week, Ruth shadowed officers in the Road Traffic Unit as they carried out their duties. She observed as they interacted with eyewitnesses at the scenes of a number of traffic accidents and got an incredibly valuable first-hand insight into the realities of front-line policing. |
| Collaborator Contribution | South Wales Police allowed Ruth Horray to shadow officers in the Road Traffic Unit as they carried out their duties |
| Impact | Based on the secondment experience, Ruth submitted a successful application for Cherish-DE pilot funding. The insights that she gained through her secondment enabled her to produce a much stronger application, as she and her co-applicants were better able to anticipate challenges that they might face throughout the project, and to identify additional benefits of a successfully delivered project. The pilot funds will cover the costs of initial meetings with officers from across South Wales Police. These meetings will enable them to gather information from end-users on their needs and requirements, which will allow them to develop a project with a higher potential for real-world impact. Following these meetings, they will apply for further funding to put together a digital app for recording witness accounts at the scene of an incident, and to pilot test the usability and efficacy of this app in the laboratory and in the field. |

| Results and Impact | How can we increase digital inclusion for our communities in Swansea, and enhance digital access for Swansea University students? The Heritage Team at Swansea University has been working with communities in Hafod over the past 6 months as part of a UKRI and Cherish DE funded project 'Copperopolis: Exploring Place-Making in the Lower Swansea Valley.' As lockdown hit, contact with participants became increasingly difficult due to the low levels of digital engagement. In conversation with Swansea Music Art Digital (MAD), it became clear that there were a range of barriers for the local communities in getting online including a lack of digital skills, no access to a device or no data package to support regular online activity. The disparity between those who can get online whilst being socially isolated and those who can't is striking and concerning. |

Matt Wall; Allaina Kilby and Richard Thomas) use political gambling odds and media analysis to make sense of the race to the White House. Looking at the campaign through this lens, they seek to identify the key trends, events, and stories that are 'moving the needle'. By listening to this podcast, you can get a better sense of how Donald Trump and Joe Biden are faring during the run-in to the election - with our focus being on analysis, not ideology. Please join us every Friday!" The unique selling point of the podcast is that it uses time-series data from political gambling markets (which will be supplied to us by the project partner, LadbrokesCoral) to analyse the campaign. |
