Hi William!
Thanks for your presentation on eHealth Africa, that was really interesting! I can imagine how this eHealth project improves access to health care, especially for people living in remote areas. It would help make health care services more equitable and accessible for the community. I’m just wondering how does the project address cold…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing Ko Aung!It’s good to learn about OpenMRS for HIV care in MM. Is it integrated with national HIV system or, stand alone for the organization?

Hi Ko Aung! I agree with your point on the importance of EMR design, it really matters! and yes, EMR should be valuable to clinical practice and clinical decision support system. Therefore, building trust and sense of ownership for the clinicians about EMR would be an essential part of EMR system implementation.

Hi Khun Salin! I like your idea on using voice-over technology. I think it would help physicians’ routines saving time to some extent.

Hi Jenny! It’s a great presentation, and thank you for sharing the RxBox implementation in the Philippines. I can see how it improves health outcomes, particularly life-saving health care services, in disadvantaged communities in your country, both in terms of cost and customer satisfaction. It also enhances the decision-making process for c…[Read more]

Hi Mio!

It’s a great presentation! I like your conclusion part, “eHealth is more than IT system, it creates faster, smarter, and more connected surveillance system”.

Just a quick comment from my end. In addition to your points mentioned about improving current health practices, I think this app/system improves health outcomes by reducing the…[Read more]

Yeah, I get your point. That’s why I’d like to emphasize access to health care, where considering health equity in planning, designing, and implementation is essential to minimize the gaps between rural and urban areas. I believe even developed countries are still facing these kinds of inequalities, and it will take time to fully address them.

Thanks for your great presentation! I like the way you presented your eHealth project by using your own experience as an example from the customer’s point of view in receiving health services. It clearly highlighted both the cost and customer satisfaction.

In addition to the points you mentioned for improving current health practices, I think w…[Read more]

Hi Mio!

Of coz! I’m on it whenever any opportunity comes up!

From my work experience, one example of a Decision Support System (DSS) is the malaria reporting platform. We used it to record malaria test results, treatments, follow-up care, and patient details through a provided app that synchronized with the national malaria database system. The system helped us keep track of cases in real time (or nearly…[Read more]

Hi Kevin!
Yup, I would agree that cost of initial phase (transition) might be costly, but when it’s fully implemented, it would reduce cost of paper-related tasks, logistics, admin costs for the long run. Um, for data security for the app, based on my knowledge, it’s secured with citizen’s 13 digits number (ID) and registered phone number, and it…[Read more]

Hi Hteik Htar!

Thanks for your good presentation on the interesting project using KOBO Collect. As you presented, KOBO Collect can reduce the workload for field clinical staff and foster the use of data by the regional HIS team to immediately respond to disease management. This reduces the cost of unnecessary paper-related tasks and, at the same…[Read more]

Thanks a lot for sharing your example of CKD. It’s valuable to know how big data on CKD is collected both nationwide and across countries!

I could imagine it. When the HSS survey was conducted using a paper-based approach, there were many difficulties as you mentioned. More importantly, when it came to data analysis and quality, it led to poor-quality reporting, which might affect decision-making and policies for HIV prevention and management at the national level. I am wondering…[Read more]

If the hospitals in a country do not use the ICD standard, disease classification would be inconsistent, making it difficult to share data among hospitals and leading to a lack of interoperability. This, in turn, would result in ineffective data analysis, wrong diagnosis, and poor treatment or disease management. Moreover, it would affect disease…[Read more]

Hi Jenny! I like your example and ref: for accuracy check on smartwatches :), Indeed, wearable devices make individuals to value the cost of their health!

According to the article by Muhiyaddin R, et al., six general findings revealed real-life scenarios faced by physicians who experience challenges using EMRs in healthcare settings. Although the article did not mention whether EMRs are recorded in real time, the consequences that contribute to physician burnout are equally affecting such as poor…[Read more]

Hi Jenny!

Thanks for sharing! I think we should consider sustainable approach for WAH system for the long-run as the WAH is more user-friendly and comprehensive to track health programs, which will be beneficial for the health services.

Hi Heik Htar! Thank you for your interesting case on cyberattack exploiting Fortra’s GoAnywhere MFT, affecting 4.5 million people. In addition to your preventive measures, we may consider implementing strong multifactor-authentication and zero-trust principles, to enforce strict access control and security, as well as simulation exercises to IT t…[Read more]
