Dan Pink is attempting to find a way for intrinsic drive via

– Autonomy
– Mastery / Goldilock Assignments
– Sense of Purpose

I would say that, to make a successful career or having project team members, we need to think of other as

– Another self
– Environment led / coachable
– Don’t know clearly why they are here. Or have more important…[Read more]

Yes, and safeguarding is quite difficult too; unless you prevent authorized usage in the first place. Also, with data mining / AI techniques, more identifiable information are more likely to be found. Think reverse engineering…

– Year of birth: 1990
– Occupation: Primary care doctor
– Workplace: a district hospital in Nakorn Pathom

And, the…[Read more]

I would use both focus group discussion (FGD) using general participants; and in-depth interview to key informants; to develop deep understandings.

After that, a quantitative evaluation research might be helpful to improve the situation.

Usefulness is not enough. One should also consider “Ease-of-use”. That is, availability, approachability, environmental pressures, among factors.

Perceived Ease-of-Use (EOS)

– Approachability of digital devices
– Computer literacy
– Intuitiveness of the interface
– Fast responsiveness / interactivity
– Responsive design (RD) to viewport / unpredictability of user’s device
– Buglessness / tolerance to unpredictability of user’s input
– Getting help – can get the right Q&A quickly, if…[Read more]

Efficacy refers to whether the action provides clinical results under ideal condition (well-controlled condition).

Effectiveness refers to whether it can achieve results under usual circumstances (average clinical conditions).

This article has a infographic that explained the difference well.

Efficiency, as I have found, seems least confusing…[Read more]

If two confidence intervals overlap, the difference between two estimates or studies is not significant.

It still requires a statistics to compute difference between estimates, and still may produce a difference.

I don’t know if I understand correctly, but vice versa cannot be concluded as well.

It can, however, be noted that if…

1. Introduce yourself about your background, what kind of work you are doing that related to statistics.

I am a general practitioner (GP) physician in Nakorn Pathom, Thailand. I make and plan treatments to patients based on evidence-based medicine (EBM). I also observe patients for anecdotal data and personalized treatments, to confirm whether…[Read more]

Another confounder is health awareness and ability and wants to manage their own health; that is, desire.

I think it couples with IT iteracy and health iteracy to do the job.

Research Title: Interhospital data-sharing through patient: needs and concerns

1. What data have you, as a doctor, given patients to hold – categorical variable – summarized as proportion
2. Diseases, as a patient – categorical variable- summarized as proportion
3. What data do you as a patient or caregiver, bring to the hospital – categor…[Read more]

Yes, I have tried leading before; and I am prone to being pressured and flustered under pressure – making bad communications and relationships in a larger-than-two group of peoples.

Having to be task oriented; I have to resort to Commandeering style.

However, in a very small group, especially of two, I believe I am more of Coaching style. I…[Read more]

It’s hard to say that I ever stepped out of comfort zone. However, I am prone to unknowingly wandering into an unknown territory. Also, I believed in daredevil-ness.

A having to step out of comfort zone would have to be taking the current degree, Master Degree of Biomedical and Health Informatics, on a totally online course; though, it is still…[Read more]

How to know if I am not listening?

How to know if I really have had listened?

It seems that discretizeDF() is more perfect, but you have to visualize.

Then fix some columns with as.factor(data$row).

In my eyes, it might not be totally equivalent to blockchains, but important things are two things.

– Distributed system and decentralization
– Security, encryption, and authorization

Blockchains are more about decentralized banking, and perhaps Read-Write only databases, without Update or Delete, IMO.

Because of recent news of…[Read more]

About COVID-19 contact privacy, although I might not be a good representative of general public (in Thailand), I feel that problems are two folds.

– Infringement on privacy. Though, it is mostly over-feared, when looked back.
– Hard to keep up consistency on picking up mobile phone app.

Google Map fixed these well, when looked back into.…[Read more]

Biggest challenges are of two forms. Nature of big data itself, and systematic bias.

As for the first topic, which source of data should I use, at what time, and how to filter the data.

About systematic bias, one should consider the context of data makers; and not everyone are equal. For Twitter, there are key influencers, and is more likely…[Read more]
