Thank you for sharing. I agree that it is not only for the health like disease control but also include other health-related issue and well-being in general.

When I think about the word “eHealth”, the term refers to interactive communication of information related to health by using digital technology to improve human health and well-being. In my opinion, conceptual model of eHealth proposed by the Shaw et al is very well-described, which is overlapping three domains including health in our hands, int…[Read more]

Beside in healthcare that lots of you already mentioned, I think “GPS and satellite data” used in transportation sector can be considered as big data too. Once a large amount of data (volume) collected through radiofrequency identification sensors, geographic positioning and satellite images (variety) from navigation GPS systems in vehicles and…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing the idea. This is very comprehensive example of big data in healthcare.

Thank you for sharing. Your scenario is so relatable. Fortunately when the system is more stable and all of us are familiar with it, we reach the full benefits in our practices both service and research.

Have you ever observed a health informatics project in your (other) organization?
In my hospital, they implemented EMR portal for physicians and nurses, use in OPD; including scanned medical records viewer, probable 10 years ago. In the past, IPD software system and PACs have been implemented but we still use “OPD card” to review all pat…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing. Besides user security methods that you mentioned, network security such as using secure network protocols, access control to network devices and data encryption during transit should be concerned.

Thank you Sippapas for sharing. I think another safeguard that can be added are (1) encryption of data stored in the database system and (2) in terms of user’s awareness, strong password practice is very important.

Thank you Zarni for sharing. Hackers usually look for any possibility of the security weakness. Besides the prevention method that you mentioned, some issues might be added, such as implementing a recovery plan, employing network segmentation, updating antivirus software and operation system itself or even disable unused ports in the system.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Imagine unpredictable event like power cuts and think about how much data you’ll lose, cloud server will truly benefit a data backup and disaster recovery time.

In this scenario, considering developing new IT project, with only one IT guy facilitate and support system, cloud server obviously benefits to the hospital. In terms of budget, there is no need to invest in a physical server and related onsite hardware and we can reduce costs of another in-house or even outsourced IT support to come to the…[Read more]

Good points, this’s so true. Like Ajarn Nawanan said that the hackers need just one little hole to attack the system. Thank you for sharing.

As my understanding, hacker can attack the system at the users’ computer, the network, and the server, either physical or technical means.

By the physical means, such as, attacking at the server room, stealing computer or server hard drive, unauthorized using other computers when users are away, steal user’s password that perhaps on the des…[Read more]

Totally agree with you. I also didn’t download all three main apps at the beginning because it was very confusing for users and also data privacy and security concerns but I got Mor-Prom later for the vaccination purpose.

In my workplace, we also develop the telemedicine portal and home isolation portal via our own hospital application that…[Read more]

During an outbreak in Thailand, many health IT applications and platforms were developed for different purposes, for example, for reporting the current Covid19 situation, we have COVID19 TH stat dashboard (by the department of disease control, MOPH). For tracking the timeline/transportation of people and risk screening, we have Thai-Chana App (by…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing. I like the keyword of psychological communication, open-minded and flexible. I’d love to work with kind of colleagues

Totally agree with you. For me, as a doctor specializing in a very specific field focusing on an individual scale, I would need to gain a lot more knowledge, especially in business and management and also mathematics and computer science as well.

Since health informatics needs a multi-disciplinary approach of three main aspects; (1) health and biological science such as medicine, public health and epidemiology, microbiology, and toxicology (2) computational and mathematical science such as information technology, statistics, and (3) management and social science which involved people such…[Read more]
