In Philippines, I don’t foresee centralization of databases (pharmacy, hospital) in the near future. Most establishments are privatized and would cost a huge investment if they transition into a central database. Some renowned hospitals may be able to adapt, but small players may have difficulty in implementing such.

It’s definitely a pain on the side of the researcher when they have to link two datasets manually due to incompatibility of the systems. There may be a risk of loss of information when we attempt to manually join these together.

In my country, a lot of government agencies need to adapt and reshape their organization for the digital future. Previously, filing taxes all resorted to manual computations. It was only in recent times that there were attempts to digitize filing of taxes (through installation of software and electronic submissions) but there are still prevalent…[Read more]

Hi Napisa,

On the second page, I think there will be mislabeling on the graphs if you use the slicer to filter by country. I like the idea of using a slicer on case counts but I think it would be more helpful if the numbers were categorized (eg, 1000, 10000, 1M) than using a slider.

Overall, nice work! I also like a simple looking interface.

Hi,

I like how the first page provides an overview of the worldwide situation while the second page provides a focused analyses (ie, Top 10 countries, per country). I like the use of the tornado diagram for the case counts and deaths. 🙂

Hi all,

This is my dashboard for the project.

Kindly look at the first two pages only.

I opted to deviate from the JHU dashboard in terms of the color scheme since it was to dark for me. Provided data limitations (ie, vaccination), I opted to simplify the dashboard with only the necessary visualizations included.

This dashboard contains the…[Read more]

Hi everyone,

Here is my dashboard for this week’s assignment.

Allow me to explain the graphs and illustrations which are separated by tabs (kindly ignore Week 2 tab).

Week 3.1, 3.8, 3.9
These graphs illustrate the bar chart, map graph, and multi-row card visualizations, respectively. The bar chart us group by continent. The map graph…[Read more]

Hi Professor,

I think it took a good few minutes for the dashboard to refresh. It now displays the updated columns based on my last update.

Still attaching the PBIX for your reference.

Best,
Arwin

For some reason, even after I followed the steps on publishing the report, it still displays incomplete columns. But when in editor mode, I can still see the columns for the deaths, recoveries, and confirmed case.
See attached screenshot.

Hi everyone,

Attaching my PowerBI dashboard for this week’s assignment.

Power BI

COVID-19 dashboard with number of cases (confirmed, recovered, deaths) is one of the measures in determining the country’s response to this public health emergency.

JHU is one of my favorite dashboards to look at when I’m looking on trends across countries! Provided that there are many countries, color intensity might not be the best way to go, but instead a wide spectrum of colors is needed in case a user would like to compare 10 countries simultaneously.

This is the Philippine Department of Health (DOH) COVID-19 dashboard.

https://doh.gov.ph/covid19tracker

In brief, it provides the daily updates on COVID-19: case counts and visualization like graphs and line charts or combination of both. The first dashboard demonstrates the data based on case count, the second provides data on number of tests…[Read more]

Hi Napisa,

Overall, this CRF is nicely and comprehensively done! General comments are concerned with directness of the questions/instructions.

I am attaching the annotated PDF for you to see my comments on different portions of the file. Let me know if you cannot access the file. 🙂

Alternatively, you can access the annotated PDF through this…[Read more]

I also observed this, since not all participants will be female. There should be a “Not applicable” option. Great spot!

Some fields have units (eg, pulse rate, temperature), while some don’t have (eg, blood pressure, weight). My colleagues have covered most of my observations as well.

Perhaps, in Physical Examination, it’s too open ended if an investigator tries to specify the abnormality. Perhaps, choices based on the organ system would be a great start in…[Read more]

I guess everyone already provided the important answers on having a standard. It streamlines all data into organized formats or structure which enables quick understandability across different users of such data.

I’m sure a company as big as Oracle covers the data backup and recovery mechanisms! It’s nice to hear from someone who actually used an EDC system, coming from someone who hasn’t used one yet.

During our undergraduate program, we have a activity called Computer Validation. The main objective of the activity is to digitize input data from printed manufacturing records after tablet production.

We were free to use any software, but I opted to use Excel, with expanded features through VBA (for user specific sign-in and audit trail). I was…[Read more]
