K?re alle,

Vi er snart igennem en tredjedel af kurset, hvilket er et godt tidspunkt at g?re forel?big status.

Typisk er kursusevalueringer noget vi foretager efter et kursus, men i ?r g?r vi det lidt anderledes - i tr?d med vores eksperiment.

Vi vil gerne bede om jeres feedback p? kurset, s?ledes at vi kan l?re og justere undervejs....

K?re alle,

N?ste gang er temaet "Surveillance of communicable diseases & International health regulations".

Vi har 2 tekster og et link til WHO's hjemmside om "International Health Regulations".

N?r I l?ser og bruger Perplexity, s? fokus¨¦r p? at forst?:
- Hvilke internationale forpligtelser Norge og andre lande har.
- Hvad de kr?ver ift. overv?gning, og hvordan I med jeres informatik-baggrund kan bidrage til digitale l?sninger.

K?re alle,

Troels og jeg har oprettet en Google Drive folder med materialet fra de enkelte undervisningstimer.

Vi har sendt jer invitationer p? mail, s? I kan tilg? materialet.

Dear all

Hereby the Perplexity-generated summary of yestersday's session. Please mind that the recording, and hence the transcript, did not catch the discussions in the breakout rooms, and also I unfortunately forgot to record parts of the discussion on class. Hence, the summary is incomplete, but it is the best we have:

Based on the transcript, here are the key points and takeaways from the discussion:

1. The topic of the lecture was "Global and Planetary Health."
2. The professors encouraged students to use Perplexity AI as a tool for preparation and understanding complex texts.
3. The discussion was structured into two main parts:
   a) Understanding the concepts of global health and planetary health
   b) Discussing how these concepts are relevant to informaticians
4. Key differences between global health and planetary health:

Dear all

As promised, here is a summary of the discussion today. This is created by Perplexity based on a transcript done by Autotekst.

Based on the transcript, here are the key takeaways from the discussion on categories of disease and their implications for informatics:

1. Disease Classification Systems:
   • The International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) is a comprehensive system with around 85,000 codes for classifying diseases.
   • Other classification systems like SNOMED CT are also used in healthcare.
2. Challenges in Disease Classification:
   • Some diseases can fall under multiple categories, making classification complex.
   • There's a distinction between "disease" (objective, physiological) and "illness" (subjective experience of being unwell).
   ...

Dear all

We realize that the instructions for the next session at DIGHEL4350 where perhaps a bit too open (and thanks to those who asked), so here is a little bit more information. 

For the next session we ask you explore the resources available at https://www.osmosis.org/learn/Introduction_to_disease. To do this, please create a free profile, watch the introduction video, and then try to familiarize yourself with the underlying resources. The purpose of this is mainly to get some experience with digesting information about diseases which is aimed for a very different target audience than ourselves - namely people going through a health education. We are therefore very curious to discuss your experiences and what you find challenging with digesting this. 

Furthermore we plan to discuss the following questions during the session on Wednesday:

Dear all

Hereby another AI-generated summary. This version is also generated by Perplexity, but this time based on a transcription done using autotekst.uio.no. Please read this - it would be interesting to hear your opinion of which summary is more helpful for you.

Based on the transcript, here are some important takeaways from the discussion between students and teachers in this university course:

Dear all

As promised, here is a summary of our discussion about health and disease today. The summary is generated by Perplexity based on the transcription generated by Teams. Please use this to reflect on your learning from the session and discuss with yourself or with other students in anything important is left out:

The transcription from the university course discussion on health and disease, titled "DIGHEL4350 Health and Disease transkription (Teams)," highlights several key takeaways:

1. Complexity of Defining Disease: The discussion underscores the complexity and multidimensional nature of defining what constitutes a disease. Participants noted that definitions of disease are not universally agreed upon and can vary based on cultural, social, and historical contexts. This aligns with the perspectives presented in the attached papers, which emphasize that disease definitions are influe...

Dear all

As announced on the first class, all sessions on DIGHEL4350 will be fully online. We will be using Microsoft Teams, so please ensure that you have this software properly installed so you are ready for the next session on Wednesday. 

Meeting links will be provided for each session on the course page. On Wednesday, please join the seminar on the following link:

Dear all

First of all, we are looking forward to welcoming to the course. Here is a bit of information before the first session: 

Purpose

The purpose of the course is to introduce you a broad set of fundamental topics within health science and give you sufficient background knowledge about the healthcare sector to enable you to engage in interdisciplinary work later in your education. Based on this, we will also discuss information needs in healthcare and the role of digital technologies in supporting these. 

Format

As the type of literature we will read is unfamiliar to many, the course also aims to make you comfortable with reading and discussing literature from health sciences. Because of this, the course is organized as a reading club.

This entails that there will be no 'traditional' lectures. Instea...
