INTRODUCTION:Along with the exponential growth of technology, the use of mobile devices in health, or mHealth, has been quickly becoming a viable practice to strengthen health systems, especially in low-resource settings. Nevertheless, the majority of mHealth interventions are pilot efforts which mostly lack robust design and evidence about the use of mHealth in public health. This study assessed the use of a bi-directional Short Message Service (SMS) in disease surveillance in Vietnam and aimed to bring evidence in improving engagement of health staff as well as the quality of reporting.METHODS:Eighty health staff from fourty communes of Hoa Binh and Hung Yen provinces were trained and participated in two 6-month pilots: one with one-way, and one with a bi-directional SMS system for assisting in error screening, and reminder and feedback provision to report two diseases: influenza and diarrhea using cell phones. After each examination and checking-in onto the paper logbook, participants reported the case by texting an SMS to a designated number and made notes of successfully reported cases. A central data repository server was set up to collect SMS reports, and aggregate reported patient data. Engagement of health staff and quality of the reporting work were assessed by the evaluation of the qualitative questionnaires, and the comparison of the texted SMS reports to the patient logbooks.RESULTS:With the use of a two-way versus one-way SMS system, participants were 4.6 times more likely (95 percent Confidence Interval, CI 3.93-5.44, p< .001) to send correctly formatted text reports, and 3.4 times more likely (95 percent CI 2.72-4.33, p< .001) to have precise information in their texted messages. Results also revealed that while their position, age, or gender of participants did not statistically influence the results, ethnicity and management roles did.CONCLUSIONS:The study showed that the use of a bi-directional SMS-based reporting system both significantly improved participants engagement in the reporting protocol, and greatly enhanced their reporting quality. The study demonstrated that robust evidence of a practical utilization of SMS in a disease reporting system to replace the traditional paper-based one has great potential for a scale-up and national-wide implementation.

ABSTRAKInformasi realtime sangat penting untuk mendukung kegiatan operasional di tambang Batu Hijau PT. Amman Mineral Nusa tenggara. Selama ini salah satu metode yang digunakan dalam pendistribusian informasi realtime adalah dengan menggunakan MORS SMS Broadcaster yang telah dikembangkan oleh seksi Fleet Management System & Data Analyst yang memanfaatkan layanan GSM Short Message Service (SMS) dari operator seluler. Namun seiring dengan bertambahnya informasi yang harus diberikan dan semakin banyak jumlah pengguna layanan tersebut menjadikan pendistribusian informasi menggunakan SMS semakin tidak efektif dari sisi biaya. Keterbatasan dari sisi format pesan jumlah karakter yang dapat dikirimkan menggunakan layanan SMS juga semakin menurunkan kualitas informasi yang dapat diberikan. Untuk mengatasi kekurangan yang ada di sistem sebelumnya, perlu dikembangkan sistem/layanan baru dalam pendistribusian informasi realtime yang lebih efisien dari sisi biaya dan dapat meningkatkan kualitasi informasi yang disampaikan. Dari perbandingan terhadap beberapa alternatif aplikasi yang sejenis, Telegram dipilih untuk digunakan dalam pengembangan sistem baru karena lebih unggul dalam beberapa parameter perbandingan yang telah ditetapkan. Penggunaan fitur Telegram Bot juga telah memberikan dampak signifikan terhadap efisiensi biaya dan kualitas informasi laporan yang diberikan untuk mendukung kegiatan operasional dalam menjaga dan meningkatkan produktivitas tambang. Kata Kunci : informasi realtime, Short Message Service, Telegram, Bot, produktivitas tambang   ABSTRACT Realtime information is very important to support operational activities at PT. Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara’s Batu Hijau mine. One of the methods used in the distribution of realtime information is to use MORS SMS Broadcaster which has been developed by the Fleet Management System & Data Analyst section that utilizes GSM Short Message Service (SMS) services from cellular operators. But along with the increase in information that need to be provided and the increasing number of users of these service makes the distribution of information using SMS increasingly ineffective in terms of cost. Limitations in message format and the number of characters that can be sent in a single SMS also further degrades the quality of information that can be provided. To overcome the weaknesses that exist in the previous system, new systems / services need to be developed to distribute realtime information that is more efficient in terms of cost and can improve the quality of information delivered. From a comparison of several similar application alternatives, Telegram was chosen for use in the development of a new system because it was superior in a number of predetermined comparison parameters. The use of the Telegram Bot feature has also had a significant impact on the cost efficiency and quality of report information delivery to support operational activities in maintaining and increasing mine productivity.  Keywords : realtime information, Short Message Service, Telegram, Bot, mine productivity

In this paper, a new improved Light Emitting Diode (LED) Display notice board with GSM technology has been created to plugs in all the drawbacks in existing framework. The proposed model has an excellent display notice board to display notices or messages at places that require real-time visibility, thereby transferring messages by Short Message Service (SMS) through cellular device. The proposed work in this paper elaborately narrates the procedure to construct a display notice board that has the quality of displaying messages in continuously running mode, and enabling the user to alter the ongoing message using SMS instantaneously. This system also has the feasibility to bind with other devices such as PC or laptop. The best feature of proposed system is the dual system for changing messages. And also utilizes two way power supply such as Renewable energy (Solar Power) and AC power. This feature enables the proposed model to work under any situations which overcomes the drawback in the existing display notice boards. Additionally, a motion detector has been included which turn ON or OFF the system automatically if any motion is not sensed.

With the overflowing of Short Message Service (SMS) spam nowadays, many traditional text classification algorithms are used for SMS spam filtering. Nevertheless, because the content of SMS spam messages are miscellaneous and distinct from general text files, such as more shorter, usually including mass of abbreviations, symbols, variant words and distort or deform sentences, the traditional classifiers aren't fit for the task of SMS spam filtering. In this paper, the authors propose a Short Message Biterm Topic Model (SM-BTM) which can be used to automatically learn latent semantic features from SMS spam corpus for the task of SMS spam filtering. The SM-BTM is based on the probability of topic model theory and Biterm Topic Model (BTM). The experiments in this work show the proposed model SM-BTM can acquire higher quality of topic features than the original BTM, and is more suitable for identifying the miscellaneous SMS spam.
