It sounds more like a spatial/statistical modelling to me unless committing suicide is infectious or affecting others who are in close contacts with the person. I suggest reviewing published work on this topic to see if anyone has used mathematical modelling to explore this before and how. Interesting!

Nice framework for start. You can model different level of lockdown and its impacts on health outcomes. There are costs associated with both the interventions and the health outcomes. So we can compare the relative values between UK and Thailand. Think more about data related to this work.

Covid modelling is an interesting one. Think about what you would need to take into account there. All interventions that have been happening is one thing. A lot of literature on this topic, so keep reading and discuss together later.

I have done something similar with DM screening model. May be useful to read and think about the data.

Cool. We are also working on Rabies problem. Not so much on the oral vaccine but just on the dog population dynamics and the impact of dog sterilization and control of rabies. Looking forward to hearing more on this.

Similarly to the dengue climate model, we need to think in term of the mechanistic of the system. What does the metabolic syndrome do to leptospirosis infection. Do they increase susceptibility to the infection? reduce severity of infection? My previous work on Melioidosis modelling mentioned bits of DM in increasing the severity of infection in…[Read more]

If we believe that climate factors play important role in this we should see if the climate patterns there are really different from other places in Thailand. There are probably many time series (stat models) that try to look at the association between climate factors and mosquito/egg population. In mechanistic model (maths model) we will try to…[Read more]

Great topic. The modelling paper in Plos Computational is a good one to read. I am not sure why it is solely assumed transmission come from patients’ movement, and not hospital staff??

Thank you for the topic. Please study the prevalence of infections among age group? how is it transmitted? How the vaccine work (reduce severity, block transmission,..)? Please look for one or two models published if there are any, what settings were they?

Great gang! Thanks for sharing your opinions here.

Fantastic discussions here. No right or wrong, we are all learning from each other!

Thanks for sharing on digital transformation. The benefit on the future use of this data should be emphasized. The risk of data breach and cybercrime is most challenging in my opinion. You are far more advance than the example of my EMR 🙂

Thanks for sharing your experience in the previous job. I think a lot of bad points you mentioned can be improved with more training, more resources and better management like your peer mentioned.

I am glad you have managed to self-study the EMR. If you have any further question please post into this discussion broad. I think we have a few experienced ones here.

Thanks for sharing your TB work experience here. I think still, for long term, the EMR would make life easier for health workforce, right.

Agreed too.

Thanks for sharing this fun VDO, sounds helpless with the US health service here. I have been thinking about it the best thing we can do as a person is to keep a good health 🙂

I agreed. UC does not fit for all. It is the balance between self-care/self-health responsibility & affordability VS the government support

Based on some answers above, do you think we are ready for this technology all around the country I wonder? Someone pointed out that others like government may actually benefit from data access by Net Pacharat, interesting. This could post another issue of data privacy I think.
