Abstract High-tech improvements with reference for health advance to develop numerous medical tools have been build to support doctors and nurses performances. This analysis research applied web-based system of infusion monitoring and microprosessor or microcontroller to grease performances of nursers and pharmaceutical helping in clinics or public health centers of the district. In this research, smart infusion web-based is builded for providing for the infusions by applying Node MCU and ESP 8266 Wi-Fi module. Smart Infusion aimed at helping nursers and medical helpers handling infusions of contagious complaint cases or Covid-19 cases to provide for infusion situation in isolation room or emergency room at hospital also public health centers at the district. Detecting the infusion weight, volume and percentage by applying a digital scale and the Load Cell sensors. This monitoring tools or devices is created to count the display from LCD and infusion weight the volumes and percentage of infusion with 3 colors alert display on the Website such as red color, yellow color, and green color depend on a web developed by php language, C programming with Arduino by C language embedded in microprocessor or microcontroller and based on fuzzy logic. Testing results have been achieved, monitoring device can work efficiently and completely when calculating weight, percentage, and volume. Scanning data of success accuracy of Load Cell sensors is 98,00%.

Recent biological and behavioral studies indicate that several unhealthy alterations in ways of living (i.e., consumption-pattern, leisure activities, sleep routine, postures, breathing, stress-level, and use of high-tech gadgets) may be related with aggravation and augmentation of neurodevelopmental disorders. In this backdrop, it is important to recognize that yoga offers holistic knowledge for correction in lifestyle to not only prevent but also manage and alleviate neurodevelopmental disorders. Unfortunately, clinicians have been relying in their practice rather heavily on intrusive and pharmacological interventions and avoiding the use of sustainable techniques. Therefore, in order to increase awareness and promote its use in clinical settings, present work is ventured on the understanding effectiveness of and challenges in utilizing yogic practices for neurodevelopmental rehabilitation. It also identifies priorities for future research and action to amplify applicability of yogic lifestyle in hospitals, clinics, and other public health centers.

The aim of the study was to create a web-based planned referral system (SIJUNA) to help manage referral services from public health centers to hospitals so that there was no reason for patients not to be served because the human resources and facilities needed were not available. This study uses action research with a qualitative approach and the system development stage using the FAST method. The system is tested using black box testing. The results of this study are the establishment SIJUNA that facilitates the referral process of patients from the Public Health Center to the Hospital. With the existence of SIJUNA, the operational needs of services are good with the types of outpatient referrals, inpatient care, and emergencies can be fulfilled by increasing accessibility such as certainty of service time with competence and the closest radius of the patient's location, equalizing and increasing the effectiveness of health services, nearest health who has competencies according to patient needs.

Background: Disposal of pharmaceutical waste among patients is a global challenge especially in developing countries like Ethiopia. Improper medication disposal can lead to health problems and environmental contaminations. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess disposal practices of unused medications among patients in public health centers of Dessie town, Northeast Ethiopia. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 263 patients in four public health centers of Dessie town, Ethiopia from March to June, 2019. Face-to-face interviews using structured questionnaires were used to collect data from each study subject. Results: The majority of the respondents, 224 (85.17%) had unused medications at their home during the study period. The most commonly reported disposal method in the present study was flushing down into a toilet 66 (25.09%). None of the respondents practiced returning unused medications to Pharmacy. Moreover, 85 (32.31%) of the respondents reported never disposing their medications and believed that it is acceptable to store medications at home for future use. Conclusion: In the present study, there was a high practice of keeping medications at home and most of the disposal practices were not recommended methods. In addition, most of the respondents did not get advice from pharmacists and other health care professionals on how to dispose off unused medications. Hence, there is a need for proper education and guidance of patients regarding disposal practices of unused medications.

While public health organizations can detect disease spread, few can monitor and respond to real-time misinformation. Misinformation risks the public’s health, the credibility of institutions, and the safety of experts and front-line workers. Big Data, and specifically publicly available media data, can play a significant role in understanding and responding to misinformation. The Public Good Projects uses supervised machine learning to aggregate and code millions of conversations relating to vaccines and the COVID-19 pandemic broadly, in real-time. Public health researchers supervise this process daily, and provide insights to practitioners across a range of disciplines. Through this work, we have gleaned three lessons to address misinformation. (1) Sources of vaccine misinformation are known; there is a need to operationalize learnings and engage the pro-vaccination majority in debunking vaccine-related misinformation. (2) Existing systems can identify and track threats against health experts and institutions, which have been subject to unprecedented harassment. This supports their safety and helps prevent the further erosion of trust in public institutions. (3) Responses to misinformation should draw from cross-sector crisis management best practices and address coordination gaps. Real-time monitoring and addressing misinformation should be a core function of public health, and public health should be a core use case for data scientists developing monitoring tools. The tools to accomplish these tasks are available; it remains up to us to prioritize them.

Abstract Background In Japan, public health nurses provide home visitation with pregnant women who are at high risk for child maltreatment, but its effectiveness in preventing child maltreatment has not been evaluated because contents and quality of home visitation vary from municipality to municipality. This study aims to evaluate whether the tablet app developed to standardize and assist perinatal home visitation by public health nurses is effective in preventing child maltreatment. Methods An intervention study was conducted in 2018 in Adachi City, Tokyo, Japan. Public health nurses at two public health centers used the tablet app when they support high-risk pregnant women through home visitation and interviews, while public health nurses at the other three public health centers provided support as in the past. Because two public health centers were different in usage of the app, the treatment group was further divided into two groups: active and inactive. As fatal abuse among infants, frequency of shaking and smothering was assessed as an outcome through a self-reported questionnaire at the 4-month health check, and compared between the active treatment group, inactive treatment group, and control group, using multiple logistic regression (N = 5,651). Results Prevalence of infant abuse was 0.82% in the active treatment group, 1.34% in the inactive treatment group, and 1.50% in the control group. When adjusted for parental demographics and parenting situations, mothers in the active treatment group were less likely to shake or smother their baby than those in the control group (Odds ratio: 0.51, p = 0.093). Conclusions It possibly suggests that the tablet app developed to assist perinatal home visitation by public health nurses was effective in preventing infant abuse. Key messages An intervention study was conducted at public health centers in Adachi City, Tokyo, Japan, using the tablet app developed to standardize and assist perinatal home visitation by public health nurses. The finding suggested that the tablet app may be effective in preventing shaking and smothering among 4-month old infants.
