+## The general idea
+
+- Similar in concept to the IMD
+- Focused set of indicators, differently weighted
+- Areas where people are more likely to be digitally excluded
+- Shiona wrote [a lit review][litrev2021] on this
+- A tool / dataset we could publish as a mini-site
+

+
+
+
+## The story
+
+- Unfinished business 😏
+- [Technical work][tsuderi] mostly done
+- GMCA have published [a similar tool][gmca]...
+- ...but I think we can do better!
+- It would be good to validate our index and publish supporting analysis

+
+
+
+## The potential
+
+- A product that might support bids for work
+- Add an element to our understanding of intersecting inequalities
+- Relevant to any work and comms around digital health and social exclusion
+- An analytic element in evaluation work
+- Background data for qualitative work for example on patient experience
+
+
+## Questions
+
+- Is this useful?
+- Explore what it might tell us that the IMD doesn't already
+- Who else is interested in collaborating on this?
+- Or just chipping in your ideas?
