    1. Impact of climate change and deforestation on the distribution of infectious disease (malaria, schistosomiasis, etc.)
    2. Research on poverty eradication contributing to the fight against parasitic infections among ethnic minorities in southern Laos

    Research on poverty eradication contributing to the fight against parasitic infections among ethnic minorities in southern Laos

    In addition to ethnic disparities, malaria, intestinal parasitosis, and other parasitic infections are prevalent in southern Laos, making poverty eradication more difficult. Furthermore, the possibility that climate change and deforestation may affect the distribution of parasitic infections requires a reassessment of the issue as a global rather than a local problem.
    Therefore, this study will use information obtained from field surveys and earth observation satellites to identify risk factors for malaria and intestinal parasitic disease transmission among ethnic minorities in southern Laos. Furthermore, we will analyze whether climate change and deforestation are affecting parasitic infections. In other words, this will be a groundbreaking study that approaches global poverty issues and climate change adaptation from the perspective of infectious disease control.

  • Dr. WONG Zoie, S.Y.
    Clinical Natural Language Processing

    I am interesting in investigating innovative AI/NLP approaches for accurately extracting narrative information from hospital notes and relevent health data. My study ClinicalNLP areas includes annotation schema development, transformers models, and user-friendly AI system design and evaluation. Areas include, but are not limited to, patient safety, patient deidentification, epidemic monitoring, renal conditions diagnosis and prognosis. I am currently serving as a Guest Editor of a Collection on NLP in Clinical Medicine in npj Digital Medicine.

    Epidemic Dashboard

    During the COVID-19 pandemic, my team and I created a public-facing COVID-19 dashboard for Japan (archived 2023). Featuring multi-dimensional data visualization tools, this platform allowed public health authorities, researchers, and the general public to easily understand the evolution of the pandemic and it has served as LIVE case communication tool in Japan since the beginning of the pandemic. At this post pandemic stage, the digital public goods resulted from this disese dashboard project continue to serve the public in different format and for other infectious diseases. Please feel free to get in touch if you wish to know more developments about this study.

    People's Voice Survey in Japan

    People's Voice Survey, developed by QuEST Network, is a new instrument to integrate
    people’s voices into health system measurement, with a focus on population health needs and expectations as well as people’s perspectives on processes of care and confidence in the health system. We will conduct this survey in Japan, compare findings across countries, and contribute to the academic literature on health system quality.
