Abstract

The classical view of an information system is that it represents and reflects physical reality. We suggest this classical view is increasingly obsolete: digital technologies are now creating and shaping physical reality. We call this phenomenon the ontological reversal. The ontological reversal is where the digital version is created first, and the physical version second (if needed). This ontological reversal challenges us to think about the role of humans and technology in society. It also challenges us to think about our role as IS scholars in this digital world and what it means for our research agendas. This paper has recently been accepted for publication in MIS Quarterly.

Topic: Development of Integrated Smart Portable TeleUltrasonography to Improve the Maternal and Infant Health during Pandemic Abstract: One indicator to improve children’s health is to reduce mortality rates in children, infants, and toddlers. That rate can be minimized by controlling conditions since mother’s womb regularly. Maternal and infant health monitoring is still limited because most of the doctors are concentrated in Java, specifically in the capital city, Jakarta. The 24% of Obgyn doctors, of which about 700 people operate in Jakarta. In Jayapura, only 12 Obgyn is available, which is only 0.3% of the total Obgyn in Indonesia. That condition is exacerbated by the COVID 19 pandemic where direct interaction between humans is also limited, including visits by pregnant women and children to hospitals. At the same time, the health monitoring process must continue during this pandemic. One indicator to improve children’s health is to reduce mortality rates in children, infants, and toddlers.
