Summary
A new online health monitoring system effectively managed COVID-19 patients in home isolation. This geographical information system (GIS) facilitated health observations and risk assessments, supporting public health operations.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Health Informatics
- Geographical Information Systems
Background:
- Managing COVID-19 patients in home isolation presents significant public health challenges.
- Effective health monitoring is crucial for early intervention and preventing disease spread.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate an online health-monitoring system for COVID-19 patients in home or hotel isolation.
- To assess the system's utility in supporting municipal health center functionality.
Main Methods:
- Development of an online system utilizing geographical information systems (GIS).
- Implementation of functions for health observation form submission, medical risk assessment scoring, and centralized management.
- Registration and analysis of health observation records.
Main Results:
- The system successfully managed a large volume of health observation records (over 1,146,000 in November 2022).
- The system demonstrated significant contribution to maintaining the operational capacity of the Sapporo municipal health center.
Conclusions:
- Online health-monitoring systems integrated with GIS are effective tools for managing infectious diseases like COVID-19.
- Such systems enhance the efficiency and functionality of public health services during pandemics.

01:30Pulse rhythm
800
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...
