Brief Introduction about Health Informatics Project
_I have observed a health informatics project in our organization, where we implemented a Community-Based Health App (CBHA) in our project area. In this project, we provided mobile phone to each volunteer allowing them to collect health data directly through the application.The primary objective…[Read more]

Dear Jenny,
Thanks for sharing an interesting story. This data breach highlights the critical importance of proper data security configuration and oversight, especially when handling sensitive personal and professional information. In addition, I think organizations should implement automated tools for vulnerability scanning, enforce role-based…[Read more]

Dear Ma Yin,
Thank you for sharing such an interesting cyber attack. I think organizations should implement network segmentation to limit the spread of malware, conduct regular third-party security audits, and deploy advanced threat detection tools like AI-based monitoring to detect suspicious activity before it escalates into a full-blown breach.

Dear Nang,
This is a strong overview highlighting key lessons from the Blue Shield Data Breach, especially around misconfiguration and third-party risks. In addition to the suggested prevention measures, I would like to suggest to implement a data loss prevention (DLP) system to automatically detect and block unauthorized sharing of sensitive…[Read more]

An attacker can use the following to conduct the security attack:
1. Using malware (viruses, ransomware, and spyware), an attacker can harm the system or steal the information.
2. Using social engineering, an attacker can manipulate people to gain access to systems or data. A common method is phishing, where fake emails or websites trick users…[Read more]

1. Why Choose a Cloud Server instead of a Physical Server?
Using a cloud server is more practical and cost-effective than investing in a physical server, especially considering our current limitations. Our hospital lacks a dedicated server and has only one IT officer who is mainly responsible for basic computer maintenance. Setting up a physical…[Read more]

Due to increased population movement across borders and weakening of routine health services in conflict-affected areas, malaria continues to be a major public health concern in Myanmar. At the same time, information technology has rapidly developed and become vital in outbreak management, particularly in remote and hard-to-reach areas where…[Read more]

Based on my background with clinical experience and public health, I recognize the need to strengthen my skills in the key areas:
1. Data Science and Analytics
I need to learn how to effectively collect, manage and analyze health data. This includes big data analysis using python or other programming to find key trends and insights that can…[Read more]

Hi Sayar Than Htike Aung,
Thank you for your information.

If I am a director of the hospital, I will surely plan to move the hospital’s information system to cloud computing. The main reasons include:
1. The cloud computing provides the data security and backup options, even though there are the privacy concerns, which is very important for protecting patient records and hospital data.
2. It allows for e…[Read more]

I had a really unfortunate experience with a cyber attack that taught me a valuable lesson. One day, I received an email from a co-worker containing a link. I did not realize that his computer had been infected and when I clicked the link on my phone, I unknowingly triggered malware. As soon as I did, all my contacts were wiped from my phone, and…[Read more]

Hi Siriluk Dungdawadueng,
I really agree with your idea of combining a patient-facing mobile app with a hospital-facing web app. It is a smart way to streamline the entire care process from appointment scheduling to tele-medicine and medication delivery. I like your focus on data security, using end-to-end encryption. This approach will not only…[Read more]

Based on my experience in non-profit sector, the healthcare supply chain system in Myanmar still faces significant challenges. Essential medicines and medical supplies often run short in remote station hospitals and rural health centers due to poor inventory management and delayed restocking. This results in treatment delays and negatively impacts…[Read more]
