Department of Mental Health in Thailand Advances e-Government Development With CAYIN Digital Signage

Taipei, Taiwan (PRWEB) June 17, 2009

Ministry of Public Health in Thailand installs CAYIN digital signage system in its convention rooms by DMaSStech (Digital Media and Signage Solution Technology). The system enhances e-government development and provides citizens with instant meeting information. It further reduces the operation and management costs, and builds a better image for the organization. This is the first phase installed in the Department of Mental Health.

The Ministry of Public Health in Thailand is the main national health agency that plays an important role in a program of health development. Many important conventions and meetings take place on a regular basis in its four convention rooms at the main building of the Department of Mental Health. To further enhance e-government development, the department consulted DMaSStech, the leading system integrator of digital signage solution in Thailand, and adopted CAYIN’s digital signage system for a better way to convey meeting information.

This digital signage project for the Department of Mental Health is targeted to achieve the following objectives:

to provide citizens with better and more convenient services;
to reduce operation and management costs;
to convey information of conferences efficiently to citizens;
to replace traditional bulletin with modern digital signage for staff and guests.

To have a flexible platform for future database integration, DMaSStech introduced CAYIN’s web-based digital signage players in this project. SMP-WEBPLUS and SMP-WEB3 are installed both in front of and inside each conference room. Benefited from remote connectivity capabilities, administrators can edit contents and change configurations in any computer connected to the network.

Screens in front of the lift and conference rooms display meeting schedule and welcome messages to visitors. For those screens inside the conference rooms, event hosts can present the topic and relevant information of each event taken place in the room.

SMP-WEB3 is featured in its AV-in function and can play real-time video by directly connecting to a TV turner and DVD player. CAYIN’s digital signage system assists in creating a multi-purpose signage, including: TV, welcome board, information bulletin, conference information, messages to guests and staff, etc.

“CAYIN digital signage system successfully saves time, increases efficiency, and reduces the printing cost of traditional posters,” said Sathian Thancharoenkit, the Managing Director of DMaSStech. “The system also builds a great image for the department. We are proud to assist the department in taking a step forward towards the e-Government implementation in Thailand.”

White House Mental Health Technology Conference Highlights Mood 24/7 App

New York, NY (PRWEB) October 15, 2013

Mood 24/7 (http://www.Mood247.com) a web-based mental health tracking and care coordination technology invented by Dr. Adam Kaplin of Johns Hopkins Medicine and developed by Remedy Health Media, was featured recently at the White House’s Behavioral Health IT Innovations Conference hosted by the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in partnership with the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Dr. Kaplin was selected to present the importance of a coordinated care approach to dealing with mental health disorders, such as depression. In the U.S., 25% of the population suffers from a mood disorder and these conditions often make people feel that they are isolated and alone.

Mood 24/7 is an automated mood tracker using patient’s own mobile phones combined with a web portal to consolidate all care-related communications, which is a critical challenge given that mood disorder patients see an average of six specialists per year. The application uses the web and text messaging to track patients’ mood and connect them with their healthcare providers, friends, and family. An adjunct to face-to-face treatment, Mood 24/7 sends a daily text message that prompts self-assessment and reporting of mood on a scale of 1 to 10. Patients can add explanatory notes to their secure web-based personal mood chart that can be reviewed online in real time with care providers to inform treatment decisions.

Mood 24/7 has been shown to statistically increase patient adherence to daily mood tracking in comparison to when using paper or email-based. Active users respond to 80-90% of daily text messages sent to track mood, making this text message-based program more effective than subscription e-mail tracking programs that report an average open rate of 20%* and a click-through-rate of just 3%*. Relaunched this summer, Mood 24/7 boasts over 11,000 users and 500 registered physicians.

“Being invited to the White House only a few months after re-launching this product is a testimony to Mood 24/7, Dr. Kaplin, and the great need for innovation in the behavioral health market. Innovation hasn’t had an impact on the suicide rate in over 50 years. In the U.S. alone, 1 million people attempt suicide each year. Remedy’s mission is to have a real impact on these outcomes. Mood 24/7 as part of a coordinated care program, in early tests, has proven to be effective,” said Terence Finn, Chief Technology Officer of Remedy Health Media. “We are excited about the response we are receiving from users, researchers, health information technology firms, and enterprises!”
