Since the introduction of COVID-19, technologists have come up with mobile software, Websites were created. One of them is a web app that was created for use in hospitals and is currently used in the 1,000-bed hospital in Nay Pyi Taw. In this week’s Techshaw Podcast, we interview Dr. Kyaw Zaw Naing, author of the CovDS Web App, which makes this COVID patient records easy to remember. How did you do this project? The experience is quite interesting and you can listen to it at the links below.
Help as much as you can during the COVID period. Zwe Min Aung, a brother from Nay Pyi Taw’s 1,000 beds, contacted me after reporting that it would be easier and less error-free to record COVID patients. They want to use this system for patient recognition. The opportunity to help in this way is rare. So I helped as much as I could. At the hospital, the vital signs of the current patients are recorded. google sheet once in the morning I remember once in the evening. As the number of patients increased, so did the complexity. In addition to vital signs, lab results are also considered. But the two are not connected.
We added features while working on a small working group to solve these two problems. It comes with treatments. It provides oxygen. There are risk factors. It includes generating reports with a Microsoft Word file. Now the system generates reports and sends them automatically by email. It is still being installed and repaired. It is written as SPA using angular. For UI, bootstrap. The back end sits with a node. Use a doc template to generate a Word file. It uses javascript. The IDE is written as a code-server. While writing with VS Code, the code-server is lost. If you have a browser and the Internet, you can write to this server. You can see the effect as soon as you edit something. The system is set aside for testing when you start using live. If there is something to fix, I try to fix it. When all is said and done, use a script to update the live version. It’s okay.
There are three main challenges. Stacking models on bootstrap (you also want the back button to work to close modal); Unspecified investigations are resized to a pivot format from a table with the date and investigation name. Fixed an issue where modal DateTime-locals installed in iOS did not work. The rest is not so difficult as it follows its flow. On a VPS that costs about $ 17 a year. A $ 9 discounted domain costs about $ 26 a year. It costs about 2,800 Myanmar kyats a month. (This is not to say that external services are being overcharged. The VPS is unmanaged, so everything has to be set up. The software has to be written. That doesn’t take into account the cost.
Ideally, there are IT teachers in the working group on the hospital side. They are the ones who do the domain purchase, setup, and VPS purchase. I told him what I needed. The main thing is that they want to control the domain as they like. I used to live in a house next to the hospital, so I know the flow. I know exactly what something means. They understand how to do it technically, and I understand what it means medically, so I work fast. We hope you enjoy the extension of service.
