Thank you for the question about centralized database, this is one of our challenges. The databases such as rainfall, serotype data and some of vector databases are keep separately, and they are not under our department so we required the data month by month or year by year. By doing the real centralized databases, the big portions of budget and…[Read more]

Totally agree that diagnosis process affect the control of dengue. However, to reduce HI CI in time, we will need community engagement and gov-citizens participation. This is a hard one but it will improve soon in the national surveillance system. Thank you for your comment.

The statistical analysis will be used in forecasting the dengue and another process as well.

Thank you for your interest in this project, the most difficult part of this project would be the data integration process because there are many databases that are connected to the factor-related dengue outbreak. Moreover, there is on data standard in some databases so it would be figured out its too.

Thank you for your excellent presentation. It is very clear detailed about your designed surveillance system. I think that if you added an in-depth survey in the user experience indicators, it will assist you to get more detail for your surveillance system.
I have two questions, First, in Myanmar, are there any data confidentiality legal or data…[Read more]

Thank you for your presentation, you done a good job for that. However, if you add more type of surveillance such as evidence based surveillance for social media or twitter or active surveillance in some scenario, it may help the detection more cases. The good practice for ILI is Flunear you which is the web-based for individual report the…[Read more]

According to that vision, there is a keyword that needs to be considered.
1. Data interoperability is the key to communicating the information and knowledge from a different system.
2. Data security and data privacy, to confirm that there is no data breach and the system will keep maintaining confidentiality.
3. Timeliness, the data will be a…[Read more]

Early warning system integrated into the surveillance system has many challenges for example;
1. Trusted data – to warning the outbreak of the diseases, the surveillance data would be trusted and credible.
2. Timeliness – the flow of the data processing to early warning would be real-time.
3. Accessibilities – the early warning system should…[Read more]

After I watched two videos from different leaders from different countries, there are some of the same and some differences in communication;

1. The PM of Singapore mentioned the historical story for combating the SARs virus and lead to the present war with COVID-19. He also points out the statistical data and the academic matters which is…[Read more]

Diseases that have been declared as the PHEIC;
1. H1N1 in 2009
2. Polio and
3. Ebola in 2014
4. Zika virus in 2016
5. Ebola in 2018 and importantly,
6. COVID-19 in 2019.

The rapid spread and high impact of the diseases are the keys that impact humans. COVID-19 is an example of an outbreak that influences many sections such as financial, and…[Read more]

Spatial analysis is so important to analyze the area with the impact of air pollution. Thx for giving this point.

With an increase in the concerns of environmental problems, air pollution could be a potential future public health emergency especially an effect of the PM2.5 situation. Air pollution affects long-term human health conditions such as certain cancer or chronic lung disease but these health conditions are really hard to identify due to the…[Read more]

I agree with you that over-reporting may cause budget loss and not suitable human resource management.

Overestimate or underestimate the real disease situation may lead to inappropriate policy and poor disease management. In the case of overestimating the real situation, PH staff will face overdetection and cause data workload, time-consuming, and more budget will be used to control the diseases. In contrast, underestimating the real situation may…[Read more]

IT can enhance the outbreak investigation process in many ways;
1. The outbreak investigation process has used the paper form to fill in the information which may cause an error and missing data sometimes. In this step, Mobile health can take into account to solve the issue which can reduce the workload of public health staff. Paper-less is the…[Read more]

Agree!, asymptomatic detection is very important to verify the case.

Totally agree that early warning is the challenge. We will try many way to make it done. However, strong collaboration between academics and government may help to solve this issue. Hope, maybe, we will work on this challenge together. Thank you krub.

I agree with you to decrease the incidence of RTI. Over the speed limit and a drunk driver are the main issues for death and injuries.

Zika is classified as a notifiable disease following Communicable Diseases ACT, B.E.2558.
In my opinion, zika needs a strong surveillance system because;
1. The symptoms of zika quite mild in a normal person so the burden of disease is not high. However, it is rapidly spread by Aedes mosquitoes which can found in every part of the country.
2.…[Read more]

I agree that the signal or trend of disease cases from the surveillance system can help with the investigation of the outbreak. However, for Aedes borne diseases in Thailand, we don’t have a really early warning system, we are warned by the season of the outbreak. So we are working on spatial predictive analytics to alert the area or community…[Read more]
