According to this paper, the preventive measure achievement rate is around 50-70% of patients. The implementation of CDS did not improve the rate of preventive measures as much as we think when we use the same calculation. If you were a CDS developer, which features or options you want to add on in order to improve the performance of…[Read more]

Good electronic system come with price , how do we develop it in low resource country like Myanmar?

I think we have to separate things.

Infrastructures, such as fast Internet are expensive, and have no other to replace. A solution is to work offline-first, and sync only when you have Internet connection, such as EpiCollect5. Web…[Read more]

I feel PowerBI a little slow and lagging for my wanting to make decisions…

Map is nice, but if we try to make it a flat projection for the whole world, it is distorted.

Funnel chart is just akin to Bar chart.

Tree map is a very good idea to compare numbers.

Scatter chart is a good idea to show relationship between 3-4 variables, but I personally think time series animation is too complicated and not always understood…[Read more]

– Sparkline is used to show general trend of Confirmed case over time.
– Line chart with forecast is used to show future trend, with confidence interval.
– Clustered bar chart makes it easy to compare between categories.
– Donut chart and sunburst makes a nice comparison over 100%.

Everyone seem to use Mercator map for some reasons, even though it is equator-small, Greenland stretched, and USA-just-the-right-size. I might even propose something like Google Earth or D3.js.

Dengue and Arboviral diseases are nice diseases to be studied and apply for Thailand, especially coupled with mapping system — as I saw that there is much affected in southern of Thailand.

As for the current state of Thailand, when the disease is reported, mosquitoes must be controlled, so yes, GIS is important.

> Do you know there is any data-driven decision-making facilitation using in Thailand? If not, which public health issue you will start with?

Sadly, I don’t know one, but data-driven organization is a direction.

> if you were a researcher, what step/detail do you want to add or change in this process flow? and from research limitation, what…[Read more]

A good example of how to find then source of disease with evidence-based, just like John Snow.

I prefer the first one. I think it is more correlate specifically with GIS, although I am not sure of its use…

I think both are valid in different ways, so it actually depends more on how YOU would use the paper. Both are quite relevant to GIS.

But if I had to choose, I would probably go with the second one, as it gives a bigger picture of Malaria towards policy making.
