Hello Siriluk, I think it is a great initiative done by Chang et al by studying a framework for a remote patient monitoring by integrating multiple remote sensors and communication protocols for elderly populations. I think one of the challenges would be the cost of the step-up, since it utilizes multiple sensors including vital signs,…[Read more]

Hello Chanapong, yes, if we could integrate with other home devices like Google Home or Apple environment, it could enhance interoperability and smooth integration. Thank you for sharing your suggestions. Additionally, using these concepts in medical devices could change how we monitor vital conditions of a patient.

Hello Phyo, yes, if we could replace with powerful battery that can compensates the active hours of sensor, it could overcome electricity challenge. Thank you for your suggestion.

1. Visualization & Experimentation

2. Challenges & Solutions

The main challenge that I encountered during setup is ‘searching port’, during coding is ‘inputting wrong Wi-Fi GHz’, and during data logging is ‘having some delays in the first try’.
I resolved the first issue by identifying the names of ports and check again which names are…[Read more]

Hello Phyo, thank you for sharing the articles on non-invasive monitoring of glucose levels in diabetic patients. As we all know, it is a painstaking experience for diabetic patients to pick the finger often. So, I believe that if the researcher could minimize the system requirements and perform more research on different skin colors and other…[Read more]

Hello Tanatorn, thank you for sharing the paper on remote health monitoring system. I think it is a great system that have many potential applications in real life. It can reduce patient load as well as can make healthcare more accessible to the people in rural areas (if there is stable connection). However, I think it would be better if those…[Read more]

1. Summary

I chose “Design and Implementation of an IoT-Based Smart Home Security System” by Mohammad Asadul Hoque and Chad Davidson.

Like the title suggested, the researchers used low-cost door sensors,…[Read more]

Hello Cing, thank you for sharing your comprehensive infographic. I agree with you that even though telemedicine can bridge the distance and access to healthcare in rural areas, there are some things to improve like digital literacy and divide, the one you mentioned in the “risks”. Proper training and awareness to digital literacy can narrow this divide.

Hello Wannisa, thank you for sharing your insightful infographic. I agree with you that providing something free does not grant you the immunity from accountability and legal obligations. Additionally, having a relevant law and regulations might deter some incidents like the one mentioned in case study.

Hello Cing, thank you for sharing your insightful infographics. Like you mentioned in PDPA part of your infographics, I think having an act like this can enhance security measures and required protocols in cross-border transfers of data. Additionally, stating penalties is also a good thing I like about PDPA, as it outlines PDPA compliance process.

Hello Tanaphum, thank you for sharing your insightful infographics. I like your suggestions on the ways to delete both paper-based and electronic records related to healthcare. Using software-baed deletions and destroying both physical hard drives and encryption keys are the ways to ensure proper deletion. However, I think shredding would take a…[Read more]

Hello Kedsarin, thank you for sharing the colorful infographic. I like your suggestions in the lower left corner of your infographic. I understand that telemedicine is still not up to the traditional standards, however, we can ensure its effectiveness by outlining follow-up protocols and more digital literacy training to the care-providers (like…[Read more]

Hello all, this week I have learnt the role of telemedicine and things to consider when applying telemedicine in use. Here is my infographics.

Hello Cing, thank you for your detailed suggestion. Yes, I agree with you that weight is not directly associated with the study. For the vaccine, I think adding site and lot number would be beneficial as well, but I believe route is the same for all vaccine in this study (Intra-mascularly). For the sample type, yes, it is quite confusing in my…[Read more]

Hello Aye, I agree with you that having standards and agreed protocols can improve data interoperability in terms of research as well. And mostly in research, it can enhance research regulation and review process. Since there are millions of papers generating each other, it would be easier for the regulator to have a shared standard to make the…[Read more]

Hello Cing, yes, having a standard ensure the integrity and consistency of the data.

Hello Cing, thank you for sharing your experience and suggestions on electronic tools for data capture. Yes, in the case of clinical and public health data, role-based authentication is a standard choice. However, it is hardly implemented in low-resource settings where the basic digital literacy is below average. So, when conducting a study that…[Read more]

Hello Aye, yes, it is indeed a challenging issue when the organization relies on offline data management tools that lacks proper logs and validation methods. However, even though we cannot have an audit trials in excel and other portable office tools, we can at least have some data validation checks in the excel. In that way, we can at least…[Read more]

Hello Wannisa, I agree with you that both GDPR and PDPA have similar approaches as well as fundamental principles. I like your way of presenting case study, it is very informative as well. However, though I believe that turning to digital storage would minimize such risk of records being used as paper bags, digital storage are also more prone to…[Read more]

This week I learnt about Person Data & Sensitive Personal Data, Personal Data Regulation ( GDPR, HIPAA, PDPA), Roles of Data Protection Officer (DPO), and principles related to data protection.
