| Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
1: Research has progressed more than it was originally planned.
Reason
We could hold regular international trans-disciplinary meeting every two-months. It is more than we have planned and expected. International participants eagerly joined DIHAC cross-cultural exchange meetings. It is because of timeliness of the research, our networking abilities, topic of the research title being a global interest, and Zoom technology.
DIHAC website serves as rapid communication and contact for international collaboration.
We published an original article about digital inclusion and health promotion in Korea in 2023. There are data from four countries and we are analyzing the data. Invitation from International Telecommunication Union, Asia Pacific Region, to hold an information about DIHAC study has been received.
Effective team work promoted research, reports and network.
