Asymptomatic Cases : The current system does not consistently capture asymptomatic acute hepatitis B cases, as the focus is primarily on symptomatic patients. Since up to 60% of acute hepatitis B infections can be asymptomatic, this creates a gap in understanding the disease. It’s quite hard to improve it.in my opinion,we can improve this by…[Read more]

Information technology (IT) is a set of related fields that encompass computer systems, software, programming languages, and data and information processing, and storage.

How could information technology be applied to assist the outbreak investigation process?

Verification & preparation
– We can speed up sending data to labs, allowing us to get…[Read more]

I choose a chat-bot. It is a tool that talks to people online. During COVID-19, chat-bots helped answer common questions, like what to do if you have symptoms or where to get tested, which helped users get better information and make better decisions.

It monitors the spread of the disease, identifies outbreaks early, and helps health authorities respond quickly. By collecting and analyzing this information, public health officials can take…[Read more]

Should you give the data out?
No,I should. Sharing personal details like home addresses, contact numbers, and health status can lead to serious privacy problems. Even if the study helps public health, I must protect the privacy of the patients.

How do you avoid violating the General Principles of Informatics Ethics?

Respect for Privacy: Protect…[Read more]

Awareness: The success was due to understanding that a model was needed, ensuring data quality, selecting the right data to fit the model, and effective communication within the team.

Desire: The team was motivated by the goal of creating a highly accurate and flexible predictive…[Read more]

i work on coding about modelling. i will explain modelling work

Data:Good data is very important. If we use the wrong data, the model will give wrong results.

Cost: We primarily use free software, which helps reduce costs, but we invest a significant amount of time to configure, fine-tune, and maintain the system. In some cases, we also use…[Read more]

In my work, I don’t know much about Clinical Decision Support Systems. However, in my organization, we have a Decision Support System used in healthcare to assist clinicians in making better diagnostic and treatment decisions. It integrates patient information, such as symptoms and diagnostic test results, and provides real-time recommendations…[Read more]

If the hospitals in the country do not use the ICD standard would disrupt nearly every aspect of healthcare, from clinical operations and patient care to research, public health surveillance, and billing. The healthcare system would face increased inefficiency, higher costs, and poorer health outcomes for both patients and providers. The ICD…[Read more]

I think the poor design of EMRs are a critical issue contributing to physician burnout and negatively impacting patient care. To solve this, EMR systems must be redesigned with a focus on usability, simplicity, and alignment with clinical workflows. By reducing the documentation burden, minimizing alert fatigue, and encouraging a better work-life…[Read more]

Can you give an example of data that you think it could be considered as “Big Data”? What are the characteristics of the data that fit into 5Vs, or 7Vs, or 10Vs of Big data characteristics?

3 Vs
Volume – size and amounts of big data.
Velocity – speed at which data is generated, received, stored, and managed.
Variety – range of different dat…[Read more]

Hello Alex, thank you for reporting the Okta data breach. I agree with all the prevention steps you mentioned, like regular audits, encryption, and having a good incident response plan. These are all important to prevent future breaches.I think add access controls, only authorized personnel have access to sensitive data. Using role-based access…[Read more]

Hello Cing Sian Dal, thank you for explaining the MediSecure data breach. I agree with all the prevention measures you mentioned. I would also add encrypting and hashing sensitive information, like ID numbers and medical records. This way, even if hackers get the data, they can’t easily read or use it. Along with the other measures, this would…[Read more]

Hello Siriluk, Thank you for explaining the 9Near data breach in detail. I agree that improving security measures is very important to stop incidents like this. Adding hashing for things like ID card number would help protect the data, so even if a hacker gets it, they wouldn’t be able to see the real ID card numbers.
