Auswin Rojanasumapong replied to the topic Have you ever used Snomed-CT in you work. in the forum Discussion Topic for Seminar 3 (Presented by Anawat) 2 years, 5 months ago
I have no experience using SNOMED-CT. However, since Thailand is joining a group to use SNOMED-CT in the health system, I think I might have to learn more and prepare for the Thai health system to adopt SNOMED-CT in general practice.

Auswin Rojanasumapong replied to the topic What are pros and cons of using freetext to record health data. in the forum Discussion Topic for Seminar 3 (Presented by Anawat) 2 years, 5 months ago
Pros: Freely and easily creating a record, no need to learn how to operate or understand a language (or how to use the system)
Cons: Difficult to use for other purposes (eg research, quality improvement), no standard for recording similar signs/symptoms/diagnosis.

Auswin Rojanasumapong replied to the topic Concerns of tele-psychotherapy and suggestion for further studies in the forum Discussion Topic for Seminar 1 (Presented by Napisa) 2 years, 5 months ago
Major concerns of teletherapy and suggestions for areas of further studies are
– Privacy and confidentiality
– Technology adoption from both providers and the patients
– Cost-effectiveness
– Dealing with acute emergency psychiatric conditions, such as acute psychotic breaks and suicidal attempts -
Auswin Rojanasumapong replied to the topic Opinion on the efficacy of Teletherapy Versus In-Person Psychoth in the forum Discussion Topic for Seminar 1 (Presented by Napisa) 2 years, 5 months ago
In my opinion, the efficacy of teletherapy is “as good as” conventional in-person therapy in terms of improving depressive symptoms and attrition. However, to replace conventional methods with teletherapy there should be further studies about other aspects of the service, such as cost, and technology adoption from both providers and patients.

From what I have learned, Bayesian and Frequentist are different in perspective of the answers and methods of finding the answer. Like many examples provided, Frequentist tends to rely on current data from repeated test/action while Bayesian tends to rely on prior knowledge. From my experience, I am familiar with the way of Frequentist, but I can…[Read more]

Since we start with unknown reasons about why they are not using bed nets, we might start with an open-ended question of “why?”. Qualitative research might be useful to explore the reason, which might lead to a deeper understanding and broader perspective of the people that might be connected with the use of bed nets, or even their ideas about mal…[Read more]

– The newer technology should perform better (or at least as good as) than the old one.

– Age, because younger generation tends to learn about technology faster
– Education and electronic literacy
– Socioeconomic status
And variables that might influence an individual’s perceived usefulness are
– Education
– Social and pee…[Read more] -

My current job is managing Home Isolation System for stable COVID-19 patients. All four principles of biomedical ethics (autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice) must be considered, but I would like to give an example that I think is controversial in this project.

In my opinion, social activities (eg. current occupation, school) might be the confounder of the result. Young adults tend to have a more active lifestyle and spend more time with others in their society.
