It’s finally here, my last day of work at the University of Malaya, and it has been a very valuable 3-year experience. My official contract was to last until December 14, but I had 25 days of “on-leave/paid leave” for this year that I had not used at all, so I decided to use these
The eHealth Unit of the Faculty of Medicine, in collaboration with the Department of Computer Science and a private 3rd party vendor, has completed the first phase of this MyCR@UM project, after demonstrating the web system in June and July to UM specialists interested in clinical registry research. The first phase of the project, which
This time, I gave a webinar to a lecture request in the “Health Informatics/Health Informatics” program designed for students of the UM (University of Malaya) Faculty of Medicine. However, the organizer, Prof Nasriah, who now teaches in Saudi Arabia, and myself and Prof Pang are all colleagues in the eHealth Unit anyways. Only Prof Sarinder,

Since there are members who are
As we have previously reported, our eHealth Unit registry team at the Faculty of Medicine has been working with faculty from the Software Engineering Department to develop a system that will allow specialist doctors to design a clinical registry easily and flexibly. Now that the beta testing has been completed, we have started to put
Since last July, a very interesting, meaningful collaboration has been going on with the Software Engineering Department of Universiti Malaya, where I am affiliated. It is a rather complex project that also serves as an assignment project for PhD students there. In short, we are creating a “builder” that can help us design clinical registries
Today, together with my colleagues from the eHealth Unit, I visited the Medical Information Section of the Department of Health, located in Putrajaya (an administrative district where the central government administrative agencies are all located). The University of Malaya, which is the oldest national university (…in fact, older than the birth of the country), has
Today I spent a whole morning attending at an international conference at NIH (National Institute of Health) of Malaysia. I visited this federal research center for the first time. It is fairly new and huge, located in Setia Alam, which is a newly-developed area with only 20 years of township. It’s about 30 min away
Today we had a Zoom meeting for brief progress report in RESPIRE Asthma Project in Klang Valley. Prof Dr Ping Yein and myself attended from UM eHealth. We have some issues to extract data in TPC-OHCIS system to feed to Asthma Registry we’ll be building, but we’ll have some solutions for sure. Thanks much Jay
