Hi Khun Chalermphon….After watching your video, I’m thinking about merging your project with TB referral system by Khun Thongchai. Good health care may be inaccessible to the rural area both in Thailand and our neighbouring country. What if your system is enhanced or equipped with media options, EMR, and give this app. to trained public health officer to go in the rural areas. The PH officer will find out the new case with help from your consultation system under the supervision of TB specialist at central/teaching hospital. When new cases are detected they can be referred to any hospital where there are more types of equipment and specialists and then back to their PCU/local hospitals in the rural for long term treatment plan and monitoring. The supervising will go on with app., collaborated by specialist and PH officers, to make sure the treatment has been managed effectively especially medications. I think this will help reduce numbers of TB patient coming into central hospital and finding a new case will be more proactive. For somehow, this may help reduce the spreading of drugs resistance TB in the hospital or in communities and overall non-medical cost in healthcare. Simply put, TB patient should come to the hospital only when an advanced medical investigation is needed, consulting with DR. will be through the app.
