This eHealth project is benefit for the patient for their cost through self screening, and increase the active case to get the treatment. The patient also get the satisfaction for the privacy and confidentility as they can reduce the stigma that is one of the problem of TB management. I agree with Mvidhayagorn that you could integrate your eHealth project with Khun Chalermpol as bigger project as I think that early screening will improve the outcome if you can follow up the patient.

Thank you for sharing your TB project. This eHealth project could benefit more in term of reducing the cost of the treatment for the patient who would like to continue their treatment across the border. They can save time, cost and can improve the satisfaction and outcome of the treatment. Do you have the integrated information of the adverse event of the anti-tuberculosis drugs and compliance of the patients or not? As I concerned is that MDR-TB are among the patient across the border.

Software misconfiguration should be tested for the security setting before release. The databases all ship with default accounts, and when you install applications on your database, they install default accounts, too. All those default accounts have default passwords, and all those default passwords are easy to find on the Internet. So if you leave them in place, it’s kind of like you’re leaving a window open into the database. The authenthication can be misconfigured so all users can access without right. Lastly, the system security should be authorized only few staff to gain access and need regular update configuration frequently.

Singapore’s story is about the hackers’ access to personal information in the health records in government SingHealth.
The method to protect this data breach attack by the hackers may include
1. Traing the staff to use strong, secure passwords, use a complex and unique password for each of their online accounts.
2. Setting the alerting system in the SingHealth for abnormal activities in electronic communication.
3. Act as soon as possible. If the SingHealth see suspicious activity, contact the financial institution involved immediately. If the patient health information including personally identifiable data was stolen in a data breach, let them know that, as well.
4. SingHealth has temporarily banned the staff to access the internet to prevent this phishing via email and cyber-attack.
5. Implement high-quality security software. Install and use a software suite that includes malware and virus protection and always keep it updated.
6. Back up the patients’ files and ensure their safety.
7. Avoid oversharing on social media. Never post anything pertaining to sensitive information, and adjust the settings to make the profiles private.
