“…Based on the big data technology, the health management system can store and analyse the data collected from different resources including public health, clinical treatment and medical research [2]. The intelligent operating analysis of these data is especially helpful in improving the performance in decision support-based public health, clinical treatment and medical research in the future, thus leading to a virtuous circle [3]. From the perspective of social development, the big data-based health management system contributes to the National Health Security Information Project [4].…”

The concern about health of medical staffs is increasing recently with the outbreak of COVID-19. In this case, it is necessary to design a particular health management system for medical staff with the function to prevent and control both physical diseases and emotional issues. The system proposed in this paper is successful in combining the physical and psychological health of medical workers. It starts by evaluating the level of social support by big data mining and then calculates the possible stress felt by medical staff. Physiological indexes and stress sensing are recorded and then analysed through the knowledge base. Eventually, the medical advice generated by inference engine will be sent to the users if needed.

We investigated the benefit of a 6-week ambulant psychiatric rehabilitation program in an ambulant psychiatric rehabilitation clinic in Vienna, Austria, from January 2014 to December 2016 by an uncontrolled repeated measures study. The potential of this intervention program was assessed by effectiveness and cost measures using suitable statistical analyses. We compared the effectiveness and cost measures of this ambulant psychiatric rehabilitation program on patients for the period of up to 12 months after discharge to the period of 12 months before admission to the intervention program based on self-reported catamnesis questionnaires. For the program’s effectiveness measures, we accounted for both psychological indices for measuring depression severity, symptom burden, and functioning to document the health improvement of patients and economy-related indices such as the number of sick leave days for patients. For the program’s cost measures, both direct tangible treatment and medication costs and indirect tangible costs based on the productivity loss measured in non-working days of the patients were considered. The results significantly demonstrated that all psychological effectiveness measures for the patients highly improved by the 6-weeks rehabilitation program and remained rather stable 12 months after discharge. We found that costs for the 6-week ambulant psychiatric rehabilitation program could be easily covered within 12 months after discharge once a total societal cost perspective was considered. Even additional total cost savings of up to over 5000 Euro could be achieved which were highest for employed patients, followed by unemployed patients receiving rehabilitation allowance due to both their high direct medication and treatment costs as well as high indirect costs for productivity loss. The most important finding was that this treatment program was especially beneficial for rehabilitation patients in earlier stages of psychiatric diseases who were still employed, indicating the need for early intervention in mental disorder.
