A Japanese model of disease management for diabetes mellitus from primary to tertiary prevention
|
Bio: Dr. Nakashima has been a diabetes specialist for 18 years and he has studied about disease management for diabetes mellitus in Japan for 5 years. He is a councillor member of Japanese Society of Diabetes Mellitus and a director of general affairs of Japanese Association of Medical Informatics. Especially he is interested in standardization of medical information and medical procedure of life style diseases. He is also promoting a project of broad band telemedicine network in Asia Pacific area.
Abstract: Disease Management has been developed in USA to improve medical quality, and has been spreading especially in tertiary prevention of chronic disease throughout the world. The Particular Health Check-Up System (PHCS), which will start from the spring 2008 by Japanese government, also has disease management logic as an institution. PHCS will greatly affect insurers because it will cover 57 million citizens (45% of entire Japanese population) and will involve all insurers. We have studied about a Japanese model of disease management in secondary/ tertiary prevention of diabetes mellitus and conducted a practical experiment since 2004. We also developed a primary prevention program implemented in relation to government’s program and ICT system to apply PHCS. We are now managing about 500 monitors in the primary prevention program. The results of halfway analysis of our system shows that 2.3 cm decrease of waist and 1.5 kg decrease of weight on averages in primary prevention program (n=158). In secondary/ tertiary prevention (n=13) resulted 0.32% decrease of HbA1c (control (n=18); 0.16%), and achievement ratio of annual examination in the clinical guideline was 80.2% (control; 54.8%). In the presentation, we introduce topics about PHCS by Japanese government and our project (Carna project). Online support system of disease management for primary prevention of lifestyle diseases (Talk in 2nd session) Abstract: The Particular Health Check-Up System (PHCS) will start from the spring 2008 by Japanese government. PHCS includes not only annual health check-up but also health instruction for high risk people. The program of health instruction is finely ruled in PHCS. We have developed ICT system as an application service provider system to accept outsourcing health instruction provider from insurers. It consists of a data base application of results of health check up and health instruction, online appointment system for health instructors, and online navigation system for primary instruction (both for private instruction and group instruction) and for follow up instruction for 3 months at least. The DB application has an automatic stratification function and an analytical function. For example, implementation of this system has cut-down the primary instruction time by about two-third (from 60 min to 20 min). We have had many offers to use the system in PHCS from insurers. In the presentation, we introduce about the configuration and user interface of the system. |
Interactive Teaching AIDS: The Development Process of Culturally Appropriate and Effective HIV/AIDS Education
|
Bio: Piya Sorcar is a Ph.D. student at Stanford University in Learning Sciences & Technology Design and the executive director of Interactive Teaching AIDS, where she leads a team of interdisciplinary experts to develop animation-based curricula to teach HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention strategies. Based on original IRB-approved research, the applications target young adults to promote awareness despite cultural and social barriers present in many developing countries. The production versions were created with the Medical Research Information Center and funded by the South Korean Ministry of Science and Technology, Time Warner, among others, and are used in several countries including South Korea, India, Canada and England. Abstract: One of the greatest public health challenges facing our world today is how to provide effective health education in Asia. With more than 60% of the world’s people residing in Asia, prevention and awareness of communicable diseases in this region has direct benefits of the rest of the world. Diseases such as HIV/AIDS that are transmitted sexually present significant challenges because social stigma often precludes such open discussion, especially in Asian countries. In fact, although India has one of the largest populations of HIV/AIDS sufferers, several states have recently banned sex education in schools, and with it HIV/AIDS education. Interactive Teaching AIDS is a pedagogically-grounded and evidence-based animated tutorial aimed at teaching prevention strategies despite social and cultural barriers. Developed by an interdisciplinary team of experts, including education, communication and medical professionals, it is targeted towards young adults. The results of our recent study in India reveal significant increases in learning and students rapidly spreading prevention education through their peer networks. |

The clinical management of critically-injured virtual patients is becoming an accepted mode of experiential learning for basic medical emergencies and massive trauma events. Avatars in the world, both learners and patients are role-played by geographically-dispersed persons who communicate with headsets, and in-world radios. Rapidly-evolving, patho-physiological models for victim avatars allow for practicing standard clinical emergency management. Teams of ED personnel (four MD’s and seven RN’s) report high levels of engagement, and endorsed the worlds as being realistic. |
E-PBL for Medical Education over the intercontinental high speed networks
|
Abstract: In the last few decades of research, the assessment strategies employed to measure the student performance in PBL (Problem-Based Learning) for medical education appear to focus only on the quantitative aspect (i.e., acquisition of knowledge and skills measured through essays, free recalls, standard patient simulations, etc.), but less on “deep learning aspects” such as self-reflecting, critical reasoning, or problem solving skills through identifying patterns of best practices (i.e., ability to clearly define the problems, generate and test hypotheses, explain anomalies, develop alternative perspectives, integrate scientific evidences, etc.) With the recent proliferation of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) fueled by affordable high-performing computers and low-cost high-bandwidth networks, new opportunities are emerging to address some of the inherent shortfalls of PBL and expand the interaction model to include tutors or experts from remote locations. In the presentation, a newly developed E-PBL case integrated in a web-based group cognition space will be demonstrated. A special focus will be given to the ability to express and assess cognitive strategies of participants in a PBL case. Some of the cognition patterns for identifying anomalies, relating to clinical evidences, generating and testing hypotheses will be demonstrated with visual expressions using pointers, highlighters, and relation indicators. The presentation will involve multiple participants connected through high-speed intercontinental networks and medical images such as MRIs and X-Rays and videos such as endoscopy sessions and PET/CT animations.

ConferenceXP is an open research project from Microsoft on video conferencing and remote cooperation. The ConferenceXP video conferencing application runs on Microsoft Windows to provide the features such as video and audio communication, document sharing, white board and chatting. The software is quite stable and flexible, when used with the webcam or the camcorder with inter-frame compression, which is the common usage in the public. In the special case of using high quality uncompressed DV image for the conferencing, however, there are some problems, mainly because the ConferenceXP is originally designed as a distributed system based on the multicast network. DV/CXP is being developed to address this situation. DV/CXP takes a centralized approach while still using the existing ConferenceXP client application, to provide efficient video mixing and control for DV image transfer over the unicast network. |

It should also lead to a standardized configuration of local set-up for telemedicine activity. |
International Telemedicine Experiment between Japan and Thailand
|
In Japan, there are nine million or less optical access network subscribers in March 2007, and they can easily use bidirectional broadband communications. Moreover, the charges for broadband communication are lower than those in any other country. By 2010, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation called NTT plans to upgrade the service of nearly 30 million of the current 60 million NTT fixed line telephone customers to Next Generation Network (NGN) services. NTT has a plan to start commercial NGN services in this March. NGN is based on the Internet Protocols and more secure and reliable broadband network than legacy telephone or the Internet network. On the other hand, Japan is becoming a super-aging society. So, an efficient medical, healthcare or welfare services are expected. One of the methods to realize these services effectively is a network-based medical and healthcare service using ICT. Telemedicine is one of the desired applications of the broadband network. From that aspect, we are studying tele-mentoring and telesurgery system over broadband network. We had adopted a robotic tele-surgery system for an international tele-laparoscopic surgery experiment and have been carrying out the trial for three years between Chulalongkorn University in Thailand and Kyushu University in Japan using the Asia broadband network and JGN2. In the telemedicine, tele-mentoring or tele-education field, we have to use an audio and video communication system. So, we need an electronic pointer or writing function on the moving video images. In this experiment, we have made a tele-annotation function and tested it. We will show a configuration of tele-annotation system and scene of tele-mentoring using our tele-annotation system. |
