It’s really a very good day today here at the UP Film Institute. The previous speaker was so good. Everyone was amazed of his voice acting. The speaker also made a lot of radio and TV commercials wherein he is the dubbing.
He’s working in Creative Media Corporation. He’s Pocholo Gonzales.
There was a volunteer from Lyceum who tried out voice acting and I must say—Ang galling niya!
Speaker from the University of the Philippines Manila
The next speaker was from the National Telehealth Center. The speaker said that the program they were using were not created by computer programmers, rather by doctors themselves.
I can’t believe what he is saying. Doctors in UP Manila are using the current telecommunications method we have today. They are using the internet to check upon a patient in Batanes, instead of the patient going to spend almost 30,000 pesos for an air plane ticket just to go here in Manila.
According to the speaker, their coverage areas here in the Philippines are the faraway areas like Batanes, Aurora and Capiz, where there are few doctors in their area.
Currently, they use broadband internet access, MMS, SMS (packetization), Internet-single-side band gateways and open source GSM networks.
One of the fields that I really like is Artificial Intelligence. I must say, wow, these doctors are ahead in terms of technology. They use AI to detect patterns.
In summary, IT in health will grow in leaps and bounds globally. Digitization of health data will create a demand for a new breed of IT developers (who are also familiar with the health domain). E-health and telemedicine are what our undeserved countrymen direly need. à WOW
I quote the speaker “You will find your destiny at the intersection of your greatest talent and the world’s greatest need.”
