Design And Implementation Of Public Health Emergency Response Disposal Information System Based On Mobile Collaboration

Emergent public health event, such as outbreak of infectious diseases, emerging infectious diseases, serious alimentary toxicosis, occupational poisoning and so on, usually happen abruptly, devastatingly and uncertainly, and seriously affects the public health. In order to relieve the harms to public health and life safety, the most effective and least consumed measures should be taken. Therefore, it is of great importance to establish emergency response and decision-making support system for the prevention and control of emergent public health events.Nowadays, in our country, the emergent response system of emergent public health event is under exploration and development, and the disposal system of emergent public health event is the core part. With the development of mobile technologies and the integration with the spatial information technologies, it becomes possible to provide a potential to develop new techno-support solutions to the disposal of emergent public health events. Based on mobile technologies and Virtual Geographic Environment, this study designed a model of mobile collaboration and accomplished an emergent response disposal information prototype system. Based on the system, not only can the response headquarter communicate with the experts from different disciplines, but also with the public health specialists in real time. The major research work and achievements are as follows:1. Design of a collaborative work model. The study integrated mobile technologies into the system platform framework of Virtual Geographic Environment, designed a model for collaborative work, and implemented four communication patterns, namely, S2S (Static to Static), M2S (Mobile to Static), S2M (Static to Mobile),and M2M (Mobile to Mobile). S2S means the emergent response center communicates with the experts using computer in rooms, M2S is that fieldwork persons collect the information of epidemic situation and send them to the emergency response center using mobile equipments, S2M denotes the emergent response center sends the disposition measures to the fieldwork persons, and M2M means fieldwork persons communicate with each other and share the effective disposition measures.2. Design of emergent response disposition information prototype system based on mobile collaboration. Based on the Virtual Geographic Environment platform, and integrating with geo-spatial technologies, CSCW, wireless communication technique, and network technique, the emergency response disposition information system was...
