Title: Current Plans for POAnalyzer Role of the Student
1
Current Plans for POAnalyzer(Role of the Student)
- Usability Testing of device
- Create a PC version
- Synchronizes field data
- Convert to J2ME
2
Understanding human interaction by understanding
the mind
- Creation of cognitive maps and mental models
3
Example Mammals
dog is a mammal dog has four legs whale has no
legs whale is a mammal
dog is a mammal dog has four legs whale has no
legs whale is not mammal
4
- Role of the student
- Create a tool that maps and analyzes mental models
5
e-Learning
- Goal Use technology to help educate people
- can be used for training care givers
- also for general population and patients
themselves - Various forms
- Web/e-mail -based
- CD-based (in case online web is not available)
- mobile-based
- information via MMS and/or SMS
- games
- good for basic education
- can be done on mobile phones
6
Cellphone-based e-Learning
- Not everyone has a PC!
- but many have cellphones
- SMS/MMS/WAP content
- get information that you need on your cellphone
- get daily/regular alerts or news
- e.g., AJWCC has done
- daily reflections
- self-defense tips
- Animals (for kids)
- Educational Games / Interactive Programs
- e.g., AJWCC has done
- math and spelling games
- interactive quizzes
- etc.
- Can be applied to health information
7
Mobile and Web Services for Health Care Support
- Idea Use mobile (and web) technologies
- to help provide better care and monitoring
- to help patients to monitor themselves
- gather statistics
- Advantage in 3rd world, not everyone has a PC or
Internet, but cellphone access is becoming common
8
Example MDR-TB drug compliance monitoring using
SMS
- Project being done by Ateneo with DOH and
Tropical Disease Foundation (TDF) - Treating Multi-Drug-Resistant TB requires
patients to take drugs daily - not pleasant, so patients may not do it
themselves - health worker needs to watch them take it, and
record it - Before, patients went to hospital in city to take
their drugs - Now, patients go to district centers
- With cellphones ...
- patients can go to more local centers
- local health workers send daily/weekly reports of
compliance per patient via SMS - central database records all these reports
- allows doctor in city to monitor individuals or
groups remotely - allows TDF to monitor remotely and collect
statistics

Treatment Calendar
The header contains basic information about the
patient
Dynamically Highlights the Calendar days
Display the current and previous months and
highlights the days upon intake of medication
Displays the events and appointments of the
patient
11
In general
- We can design cellphone-based applications that
allow doctors or health workers in the field to
record patient data regularly, and immediately
send it to a central database - Doctors in the city watching central database can
remotely monitor patients, as well as watch for
abnormal incidences, e.g., many people missing
their doses, or getting sick of the same thing,
in a particular village
12
Side Application Tracking of Medical Supplies
- Ateneo is also working on RFID-based systems for
tracking of usage of TB drugs - each package of drugs is uniquely tagged using
Radio-Frequency-ID tags - when given to the patient, package is scanned,
and info is sent to central database - allows central database to easily and reliably
track which packages have already been
distributed - helps with accounting
- Note This is actually a well-known technique
- professional systems already do this
- Ateneos contribution is a cheap version
13
Personal Health Monitoring and Nation-wide
Statistics Gathering
- Example in Pediatrics, one regularly takes
babys height and weight, and checks percentiles
of height, weight, and BMI - We can make an SMS-based service which returns
percentiles and BMI - In the back-end, we also record the data
- Later, parent and/or doctor can track babys
growth - Also, researchers can gather stats of baby
heights and weights across the country
immediately - Previously, gather stats can take months
- With location-based stats, it can be used to
pinpoint places where there is more malnutrition,
for example - Other examples
- tracking adverse events in vaccinations
- location-based stats can alert authorities of
possibly bad batches of medicine - tracking dengue fever outbreaks
- location-based stats can immediately show where
there are pockets of dengue, so authorities can
send fumigation teams there - tracking cases of gastro-intestinal ailments
- location-based stats can alert authorities to
check water supply - E-prescriptions
14
Good starting point
- Social computing group of Microsoft
(http//research.microsoft.com/scg/) - ESP Game (http//www.post-gazette.com/pg/03278/228

Summary
- Goals of the group
- Provide better collaboration (Understanding Group
Interactions and Networks) - Text mining
- Develop mobile applications
- For data gathering (POAnalyzer)
- For sharing (ESP game, wiki via mobile)
- For learning (e and m-learning)
- For medical monitoring, health care, alerts and
analysis (Mobile Med Apps)
