Good effort. I think it helps to have this flowchart to communicate with all health personals and set some priorities during the emergency.

It seemed like the week no. was jumping there. So the chart is up to the point where the project has started and is still running. Unfortunately, I cannot see the project closure in the schedule. I think this would make a more complete Gantt chart.

Dear Kawin,
Would you like to have ago again at the Gantt chart with the English version so that we can all learn from each other. Thanks!

My initial observation is the big jump from phase 3 to 4, the months seem to be disconnected! Otherwise it looks very professional!

Dear Sippapas, Thanks for the effort but I think it would first be in English, second it should be your own project or the process that is part of the work that you are working on. Remember that projects are something that have the start and end time…not routine work. Do you want to have a go again? This is something you need to submit in…[Read more]

Please start sharing some Gantt chart or some workflow. There is some good VDO on the coursera that you are supposed to complete in week 2 material. https://www.coursera.org/learn/leading-change-health-informatics/lecture/eZpl8/example-of-a-gantt-chart

Enjoy!

Great stories everyone. Well done for being brave and taking the leadership.
We can inspire each other throughout this course. Taking this BHI online is also stepping out from your comfort zone. So actually all of you are taking good leadership there!

Greta stories, guys. Thanks for sharing! I look forward to meeting all of you soon 🙂

Ok. Look forward to reading the full report and will give some detailed feedback. Thanks!

To all. I have read through all your comments and all sounded OK. I would need more time to carefully go through your report and hopefully give useful feedback. I will do that after reading your final report.

Cool. Sounds like you can apply the reduction in transmission directly in the model when using prophylaxis drugs. I will get back after reading your report. Thanks.

Ok, great start. Now HBV main transmission is vertical route. Can you think how this may be added into the model since we want to control it?

Further thinking around this question is how these factors could be incorporated into the model. For example if we focus on internal factors like high contacts or age, it is easily explored in the structure we have.

Arwin, somehow I cannot click reply next to your post. I think you have captured the important elements of HIV there and also aware of what assumptions you made to have a simple version of the model. For the final project, you can spell out the parameter estimates into table with the references.

Karina, it would be good to mention more about the setting. I am not clear if we focus on falciparum here? What do we assume about the immunity among the travelers? I am curious to see the model adjusted to your questions and setting next.

I think gamma is probably the recovery rate (per day) and should actually be 1/duration of infectiousness. OK, it would be nice to now construct and run the model in R.

The structure looks rather complicated because it involved two types of infections. Maybe we can somehow try to simplify the model structure or narrow down the scope of interest.

Hi Hazem, in the next step please think more about the model structure of Measles and adding vaccination into the model as well. For the effect of COVID-19 as you mentioned, I am not sure how well we know about it to tie that up in this modelling. Please read and suggest some more ideas during the course.

The first paper in the list suggested a good model structure for HepB I think. We probably need to take into account the two stages of infection, acute and chronic. The later is more of a problem. HepB vertical transmission (from mother to child) is mentioned a lot in modelling.
