未來健康的想像
未來健康的想像
【未來健康的想像】在聽說自己是「國家未來的主人翁」的時候，相信每個人都以為未來就如同童話故事般地美好，然而卻在長大了之後，才發現，未來並不是這麼單純。
在《香草的天空 》一片中，我們可以看到面對生老病死，科技並不像魔法那像能讓人療傷止痛、起死回生，但是卻可延長治療的時間，也就是將人先給冰凍起來，待有解藥時，再解凍回到人世，因為人往往將現在無法做到的事，冀望於未來，個人的健康維護更是如此。

With HealthMap, real-time global data surveillance of H1N1 outbreak
With HealthMap, real-time global data surveillance of H1N1 outbreak

When the H1N1 virus began spreading in April 2009, a tool created by the informatics program at Children’s Hospital Boston was able to track it in real-time.
The automated tool, called HealthMap, plotted information about the virus outbreak on a map of the globe as it occurred.
The interactive map showed how Internet technology can support the traditional public health infrastructure and help disseminate information quickly.
The HealthMap infrastructure was used to track suspected or confirmed cases or deaths, as well as cases ruled out or not identified as H1N1, based on formal and informal reports, from the World Health Organization and U.S. Centers for Disease Control to news reports and blog activity.
Between April 1 and Dec. 31 2009, researchers analyzed more than 87,000 reports, revealing in retrospect insight to the epidemiology of H1N1 spread around the world, such as how quickly the virus spread, where and how.
The researchers also calculated the time elapsed between suspected and confirmed cases of H1N1 by country, finding a “significant” relationship between a country’s national gross domestic product and its robustness of public health infrastructure.
“We found that countries with high GDP demonstrated a short lag in reporting and were confirming cases in a few days, whereby countries with low GDP could experience lags of up to 85 days,” said John Brownstein, co-founder of HealthMap and a professor at the hospital.
According to the research, several factors contributed to lagging information during the pandemic:
Deficiencies in public health infrastructures.
Political pressures (trade, tourism).
Intense media coverage, which spurred many folks to get tested unnecessarily at the onset.
“Syndromic surveillance” is the seed of what could become real-time surveillance of health data — from Lyme disease to rabies to E. coli to influenza — using electronic medical records.
The challenge: ensuring that people and nations sign up for electronic health records and make that information readily available.
