What are possible reasons locations in epidemiological research have not been incorporated as much as other components in epidemiological research? How can spatial epidemiology be considered as an interdisciplinary science?
As mentioned in the paper, I think two of the major reasons is the availability of data and the appearance of easy-to-use…[Read more]

1. I think for hospitals and medical facilities that have decided to incorporate medical AI systems into their diagnosis or treatment process, they need to set up a dedicated department to handle ethical issues and problems surrounding the use of AI. The department should be in charge of oversight of all AI uses, and regularly review its security…[Read more]

1. Hong Kong is a very urbanized city, so there is no decision support system that is specifically developed for rural areas. However, in China, this is a very common problem as there are millions of people living in rural areas, and there is great discrepancy in medical technology and personnel. In rural areas, they have clinicians known as…[Read more]

I would like to talk about point 6, which mentions that a P-value of >0.05 does not necessarily means that no effects are observed. I think this is a very common point or error that a lot of people profoundly believes. Many people treat the p-value as a magical threshold to the point that they think anything below it is a YES and anything above it…[Read more]

1. Focus Groups: I would use focus group discussions and gather all individuals who do not use bednets to collectively share their thoughts and experiences. Through group interactions, it may be able to discover the common reasons for not using bednets in the community, such as economic difficulties, or cultural norms.
2. Observation: By…[Read more]

TAM would suggest that the new technology must be at least as useful as the old technology for a potential switch. The Technology Acceptance Model suggests that perceived usefulness is a key factor of individuals’ acceptance and adoption of a new technology. Individuals are more likely to accept and use a technology if they perceive it to be useful.

Efficacy is the capacity for producing a desired result or effect in an ideal setting. Does the agent or intervention “work” under ideal, “laboratory” conditions? For example, a medicine could be ready to improve a patient’s symptoms in a perfect environment, where they’re closely monitored in order that they stick perfectly to the prescript…[Read more]

I think occupation is a confounder. Young people, whether they are students or workers, have to commute to school or their workplace every weekday, which guarantees a high frequency of contact. Meanwhile, for older people, many of them may have retired and do not have an occupation. This would mean they would tend to stay home on weekdays. This…[Read more]

Infant Mortality Rate is the proportion of infant deaths under one year old per 1000 live births.
It is calculated by (**the number of deaths in the first year of life)/(the number of live births)*1000**

Hong Kong as a developed city has been doing fairly well in terms of approaching Universal Health Coverage, but it certainly does not have a fully implemented UHC
system.

I would definitely be thinking of data sharing if I am in charge of the data, given that the participants know about the data sharing and agree, and that the desensitivization procedures are properly done. As mentioned in the lecture, data sharing contributes a lot to science in general and is usually beneficial to both parties.
For example, if I…[Read more]
