The COVID-19 epidemic has spawned an "infodemic," with excessive and unfounded information that hinders appropriate public health response. This perspective describes a selection of fake news originated in Peru the government's response to this information. Unlike other countries, was relatively successful controlling infodemic possibly because implementation prison sentences for persons who created shared news. We believe similar actions by countries collaboration social media companies may...
In Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), efforts to eliminate the Tuberculosis (TB) epidemic are challenged by persistent social inequalities in health, limited number of local healthcare professionals, weak infrastructure found resource-poor settings. The modern development computer techniques has accelerated TB diagnosis process. this paper, we propose a novel method using Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) deal with unbalanced, less-category X-ray images. Our improves accuracy for...
Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease worldwide and remains major cause of death globally. Of the estimated 9 million people who developed TB in 2013, over 80% were South-East Asia, Western Pacific, African. The majority infected populations was from resource-poor marginalized communities with weak healthcare infrastructure. Reducing diagnosis delay critical mitigating transmission minimizing reproductive rate tuberculosis epidemic. combination machine learning mobile computing...
Internet tools, cell phones, and other information communication technologies are being used by HIV-positive people on their own initiative. Little is known about the perceptions of towards these in Peru. The purpose this paper to report use as a means support antiretroviral medication adherence HIV transmission risk reduction. We conducted qualitative study (in-depth interviews) among adult living with two community-based clinics 31 individuals Lima were interviewed (n = 28 men, 3 women)....
Abstract Background: Many medical schools require a student thesis before graduation. Publishing results in peer‐reviewed journal could be an indicator of scientific value and acceptability by the community. The publication pattern theses published students Peru is unknown. aim this study was to assess characteristics biomedical‐indexed journals conducted university with highest research output Peru. Methods: Data from registered between 2000 2003 were obtained library. Publication...
Partnerships among health care and information technology researchers designers worldwide are creating mobile tools tailored to local community needs resources. Much of the hardware infrastructure comes from developed countries so-called global North. From both these as well developing in "South" coming applications that enable workers collect organize data, access diagnostic treatment support, promote healthy behavior. Most still pilots or demonstration phases, but their use is accelerating.
Tackling global health challenges demands the appropriate use of available technologies. Although digital could significantly improve care access, use, quality, and outcomes, realizing this possibility requires personnel trained in health. There is growing evidence benefits for improving performance systems outcomes developed countries. However, significant gaps remain resource-constrained settings. Technological socio-cultural disparities between different regions or provinces within same...
Low-cost handheld computers (PDA) potentially represent an efficient tool for collecting sensitive data in surveys. The goal of this study is to evaluate the quality sexual behavior collected with comparison paper-based questionnaires. A PDA-based program collection was developed using Open-Source tools. In two cross-sectional studies, we compared concerning paper forms Ancon (Lima). first enrolled 200 participants (18–29 years). General agreement between format and 86%. Categorical...
New technologies that emerge at the interface of computational and biomedical science could drive new advances in global health, therefore more training technology is needed among health care workers. To assess potential for informatics using an approach designed to foster interaction this interface, University Washington Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia developed assessed a one-week course included Bioinformatics (BIO) track along with established Medical/Public Health Informatics (MI)...
Antiretroviral scale-up is increasing in resource-constrained settings. To date, few studies have explored the barriers and facilitators of adherence to ART these Facilitators antiretroviral Peru are not completely understood. At two clinics that serve a large number HIV-positive individuals Lima, Peru, 31 in-depth interviews were carried out 2006 with adult receiving ART. Purposive sampling was used recruit participants. Interviews transcribed coded using Spanish-speaking researchers...
Public–private partnerships (PPP) represent an alternative model of health management focused on improving the quality services, particularly in emerging countries. To date, a systematic method to improve perceived services by healthcare users Peru has not been established. The purpose this study was evaluate two PPP hospitals using Kano model. A prospective cross-sectional descriptive observational carried out through service satisfaction survey methodology, measuring six categories...
The low-cost Microscopic Observation Drug Susceptibility (MODS) assay is a non-proprietary test that delivers rapid and accurate diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) multidrug-resistant TB. Although methodologically straightforward, implementation challenging in isolated settings where personnel trained plate reading are lacking. One affordable strategy to address this shortfall the use mobile phones, first transmit images captured by an inverted microscope remote site pattern recognition...
Challenges in digital medicine applications under-resourced settings Digital tools, including medical AI, have been advocated as potential game-changers to solve long-standing healthcare access and treatment inequality issues low middle income countries.For example, automated tools can fill gaps trained workforce availability even augment equipment capabilities.As these are increasingly becoming a reality, we connect here with researchers experience planning deployment of settings,...
Con millones de personas en el mundo situación distanciamiento físico por COVID-19, las tecnologías la información y comunicaciones (TICs) se han posicionado como uno los medios principales interacción colaboración. Ya al inicio este milenio empezaban a mencionar siguientes ventajas: mayor acceso prestación servicios; fortalecimiento educativo; control calidad programas detección reducción costos atención salud. Sin embargo, entre barreras adopción telemedicina encuentran índole:...
Las tecnologías de información y comunicación (TIC) en salud cumplen un rol fundamental el manejo la pandemia por COVID-19. Esta ha permitido redescubrir telesalud acelerado uso plataformas digitales con servicios aplicados a salud. En marco del COVID-19, Poder Ejecutivo emitido varias normas para impulsar su uso. El objetivo este artículo es discutir telesalud, evolución normativo Perú. Asimismo, se describen las iniciativas desarrolladas e implementadas Colegio Médico Perú respecto...
[Extracto]. El 15 de febrero 2020, durante la Conferencia sobre Seguridad en Munich, el director Organizacion Mundial Salud (OMS), Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, indico que a lucha contra epidemia por COVID-19 se le sumaba “infodemia”, dando asi inicio una serie acciones desde OMS y otras organizaciones para enfrentar este desafio. Esta situacion no es nueva, ya casos similares han sucedido emergencias sanitarias, pero nunca antes con magnitud actual, producto del aumento uso las...
HIV is one of the biggest infectious killers worldwide, causing 8,000 deaths a day in 2005 [1]. In Latin America, an estimated 1.8 million people are living with [1], and 2005, about 66,000 died AIDS 200,000 were newly infected [1]. In Peru, HIV/AIDS epidemic has largely been concentrated among men who have sex (MSM) female workers [2,3]. The seroprevalence rate for MSM 10%–22% [3–5], compared to 0.1%–0.4% general population [6]. prevalence other sexually transmitted infections (STIs)...
