Conduct research on Giardia lamblia and respond to the following questions, using at least two sources in your research. Links to several resources are provided in the Study Materials, but you can use outside sources as well. All sources must be cited in APA Style.

Your overall responses should be approximately 500 to 600 words (2 pages) in length.

1. What is the estimated size of the trophozoite form of Giardia? How does this compare to the size of most bacteria?
2. Is it possible to view Giardia with a compound light microscope? How do you know? When viewing Giardia, how can you distinguish the trophozoite from the cyst form?
3. Is Giardia a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell? How do you know?
4. How is Giardia classified? In what domain does it belong?
5. What kind of illness does Giardia cause?

After reviewing the life cycle of Giardia, respond to the following questions:

1. If a person has ingested Giardia, what form was it most likely in?
2. A fecal sample is being observed under magnification for the presence of Giardia. If present, what form would you expect to see?
3. Samples are collected from a stream that is suspected to harbor Giardia. Which form of the pathogen would you expect to find in the water samples?

Read the article from the journal, Clinical Infectious Diseases, and then respond to the following questions:

1. Based on Figure 1, what year had the most cases of giardiasis? Which year had the fewest? What is the general trend in cases during the times reported in the article?
2. Based on the maps in Figure 2, which region of the country typically has more cases of giardiasis? Make a prediction as to why this region has the most cases of giardiasis.

The role of health informaticists combines the fields of health information, data management, and information technology. Informaticists create processes, design IT-based innovations, applications, analyze data to support business intelligence, and improve the quality of health care. According to Health Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) (2015), 90% of health care organizations used mobile applications to improve consumer engagement and increase the quality of patient care.

For this project, you will identify a population health problem and create a prototype mobile health application (mHealth) to address the public health initiative.

In your final project,

• Propose an application to a public health initiative.
• Identify the significance of the application and public health initiative.
• Describe the target population.
• Analyze the statistical needs assessment for the application.
• Provide three statistics that support the need of your mHealth application.
• Create a method to utilize natural language technology with structured and unstructured data.
• Identify how this will be used and beneficial to your target population.
• Include one image-based biomedical technology that could be used in your mHealth application.
• Identify how this will be used and beneficial to your target population.
• Discuss the data that your mHealth application will collect and the significance to the public health imitative.
• Create a prototype of the application using the

• Note: The mHealth App Design Interactive must be completed using the internet browsers Chrome or Firefox.

Step 2: Use the information from Part 1 of the template to complete the

. Using the interactive, you will build a prototype of your mHealth app. This step includes taking screenshots of the pages in your completed mHealth app prototype and uploading them to Part 2 of your mHealth App Design PowerPoint.

• For a sample of a completed mHealth App Design, see the
• . Keep in mind, this is just an example of Step 2 of this project. Feel free to modify the design of the PowerPoint template, as was done in the sample, but just be sure that all content requirements remain.

Step 3: Present your completed Public Health Initiative App Design Project in a screencast video with your camera on. You will need to not only show your face in your video but also present your completed mHealth App Design PowerPoint that contains screenshots of your mHealth app prototype.

The screencast video must be between seven to 10 minutes long. For tips on making a professional video, review the

For this assignment you will write a paper that will strengthen your understanding of biometric and natural language technologies for your final project. According to the National Health Institute (2014), natural language processing (NLP) provides a way to incorporate different data sources in clinical decision support, quality assurance, and public health. Advanced technologies strengthen communication, data, and data processing. Large health care companies such as Ciox Health have incorporated advanced technologies, such as biomedical NLP (2020) in order to support a longitudinal perspective and real-world data clinical investigation.

In your paper,

• Differentiate between biometric and natural language technologies.
• Determine how biometric technologies improve health care operations.
• Identify the risks of biometric technologies in health care.
• Discuss how natural language technology improves health care operations.
• Discuss three examples of biometric technologies used in an mHealth application.
• Discuss three examples of natural language process and how they are used in mHealth applications.

Throughout this course you have learned about big data, cloud computing, visual analytics, and population health surveillance. This week you will focus on developing a proposal for a mobile health (mHealth) application. You will identify a public health initiative and/or problem and propose a mobile health app that will support the initiative. Support may include support services, data collection, data monitoring, measurement, and/or information. You will provide research on the public health initiative identifying the need for the app and the target population. This proposal will start the foundation for your final project in the course.

In your paper proposal,

• Identify the purpose of the mHealth application.
• Identify the target population.
• Identify the significance of the mHealth application.
• Analyze the impact the application can have on a public health initiative.
