Crash and fatality rates among drivers under 21 have fallen dramatically in the U.S. during the past 20 years, a new report says, while noting young drivers are still the riskiest group behind the wheel. Using data from 2002-2021, a non-profit group of state highway safety offices says in the report made public Wednesday that fatal crashes involving a young driver fell by 38%, while deaths of young drivers dropped even more, by about 45%. For drivers 21 and older, fatal crashes rose 8% and deaths rose 11%. The report from the Governors Highway Safety Association acknowledges that young people are driving less than they were 20 years ago, but highlights several other reasons for the improvement, while offering recommendations for building on them. State programs that phase in driving privileges were at the top of the list. These programs, called graduated drivers license laws, often restrict or ban certain activities, such as driving at night or with peers, for teens. The GHSA suggests strengthening those programs and even expanding them to cover drivers 18 to 20 years old, like Maryland and New Jersey do. Other recommendations include bolstering adult and parent participation in their child’s driving education, more peer-to-peer education programs and making driver training accessible to all. “Young drivers are the riskiest age group on the road, and the reasons are straightforward — immaturity and inexperience,” said Pam Shadel Fischer, author of the GHSA report. ”Many young drivers simply don’t have the behind-the-wheel experience to recognize risk and take the appropriate corrective action to prevent a crash.”

The roads were already getting deadlier for pedestrians before 2020, but the pandemic turbocharged the trend. In 2021, 7,624 pedestrians were killed in the United States, a 13 percent increase from the year before, when 6,721 pedestrians were killed. Between 2010 and 2021, the new GHSA report says, pedestrian fatalities increased 77 percent.

. . .

There’s no single explanation for why it’s getting more dangerous to walk on US roads, but there are a few major contributing factors. One is deadly road design. In the decades after World War II, new communities emerged, centered on the premise that inhabitants would drive everywhere. Governments and regional planners designed wide, multi-lane arterial roads for high-speed travel. In the years since, traffic engineers and planners continued to widen those roads and add lanes, ostensibly to address congestion, while local officials approved commercial development alongside them. It w to what former traffic engineer and Strong Towns founder Charles Marohn calls “stroads.”

In Marohn’s parlance, a street is a gathering place, where people can shop, dine, and live. It needs to be designed for pedestrians to be able to safely access the businesses around it, while a road is designed to move cars efficiently from point A to point B. A stroad is the worst of both worlds, and is incredibly dangerous to pedestrians. The data bears this out: In 2021, the latest GHSA report says, 60.4 percent of pedestrian fatalities happened on such roads, which often lack infrastructure that would make it safe for pedestrians, such as good lighting and frequent crosswalks. As a consequence, many of the people killed last year were struck at night.

Protect Your Fleet and Drivers with Advanced Drowsy Driver Detection

In the fast-paced world of commercial trucking, the safety of drivers is paramount. Driver fatigue is a silent killer on the roads, contributing to 10-20% of severe collisions according to the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA). Microscopic moments of drowsiness, known as microsleeps, can lead to catastrophic accidents—often before a driver even has time to react. The good news is that technology is evolving to address this issue head-on. 

Eagle-IoT’s Advanced Driver Monitoring System (DMS), powered by cutting-edge ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) algorithms, offers a proactive, data-driven solution to the critical issue of drowsy driving. By integrating this technology into fleet operations, companies can reduce accidents, save lives, and drive down insurance costs, all while improving fleet efficiency. 

Proactive Drowsiness Detection for Real-Time Alerts 

Traditional drowsiness detection systems typically focus on severe symptoms of driver fatigue—such as sudden head nodding or full-blown sleep. However, these solutions often fail to catch the early signs of drowsiness, such as micro-sleeps that last just a few seconds, but can cause devastating consequences. Eagle-IoT’s DMS goes beyond basic detection, using advanced video telematics to monitor subtle signs of drowsiness—like microsleeps, eye closure duration. This enables the system to provide early warnings to drivers as soon as the first signs of fatigue are detected, giving them the chance to take corrective action before a dangerous situation arises. 

Cutting-Edge ADAS Algorithms for Enhanced Accuracy 

What sets Eagle-IoT apart is its advanced ADAS algorithms that work seamlessly with the DMS to analyze driver behavior in real time. These algorithms rely on a scientific, measurable approach to drowsiness detection, ensuring high accuracy while minimizing false alerts. The system works in various lighting conditions, including low light and nighttime driving, and can even detect drowsiness if a driver is wearing sunglasses—something that many traditional systems fail to account for. By using video telematics in combination with ADAS, Eagle-IoT delivers a comprehensive driver monitoring solution that provides real-time insights with zero compromise on reliability. This level of precision is key to preventing accidents caused by fatigue-related driver error. 

Data-Driven Insights for Smarter Fleet Management 

One of the most powerful features of Eagle-IoT’s system is its ability to provide actionable data. The system is integrated with a comprehensive video telematics platform that not only tracks drowsiness but also monitors driving behavior and road conditions. Through detailed reports and real-time alerts, fleet managers can monitor driver fatigue patterns, identify high-risk situations, and tailor coaching and training to address specific behaviors. This data-driven approach allows for more informed decisions about driver scheduling, rest periods, and overall fleet safety. 

For example, if a driver is frequently flagged for signs of drowsiness during certain hours or under specific conditions, managers can adjust their schedules to ensure they’re getting enough rest. This proactive strategy helps reduce the likelihood of accidents while improving driver retention and satisfaction by prioritizing their health and well-being. 

Tangible ROI for Fleets and Insurance Savings 

One of the most significant benefits of Eagle-IoT’s DMS is its ability to reduce fleet risk and deliver a measurable return on investment (ROI). By preventing drowsy driving incidents, fleets can significantly lower the likelihood of accidents, thereby reducing liability and insurance costs. 

In addition to reducing accident rates, the system’s ability to provide real-time alerts allows fleet managers to intervene before a situation escalates, potentially avoiding costly legal claims and insurance premiums. Over time, fleets can see a significant return on investment (ROI) through improved safety records, reduced liability, and lower insurance costs. 

Holistic Safety with Dual Cameras 

Eagle-IoT takes driver safety to the next level by incorporating dual-facing cameras. In addition to monitoring the driver’s eyes and facial expressions, the system also uses an outward-facing camera to observe road behavior, such as lane departure, forward collision and sudden swerving. By combining both inward and outward monitoring, the system provides a comprehensive view of the driver’s mental state and road conditions—empowering fleet managers to better understand high-risk driving behaviors and intervene accordingly.

Strengthening Global Governance for Emerging Zoonotic Diseases

Strengthening Global Governance for Emerging Zoonotic Diseases

Zoonotic diseases—those that jump from animals to humans—have increasingly posed significant threats to global public health. In an era marked by globalization, urbanization, and climate change, the emergence of zoonotic pathogens has been more frequent, underscoring the need for robust global governance. This article explores the importance of international cooperation, surveillance, and policy frameworks to effectively manage and prevent zoonotic disease outbreaks.

The Rise of Emerging Zoonotic Diseases

The rise of zoonotic diseases can be attributed to several factors, including increased human-animal interactions, environmental changes, and global travel. Notable examples include the emergence of HIV/AIDS, Ebola, Zika, and most recently, COVID-19. Each of these diseases has demonstrated how quickly zoonotic pathogens can spread, leading to significant health, social, and economic impacts worldwide.

The Role of Global Governance

Global governance refers to the collective efforts of countries and organizations to address global issues, including health threats like zoonoses. Effective governance involves creating frameworks that promote cooperation, coordination, and information sharing among nations. Key organizations involved in global health governance include the World Health Organization (WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE).

1. International Collaboration

International collaboration is essential for effective zoonotic disease governance. Countries must work together to share data, resources, and best practices. Initiatives like the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) aim to enhance collaboration among countries to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease threats, including zoonoses.

2. Surveillance and Early Detection

Robust surveillance systems are critical for the early detection of zoonotic diseases. Countries should invest in monitoring animal populations and their health, as well as implementing integrated surveillance systems that include both human and animal health. Early detection allows for swift action, which is vital in preventing outbreaks from escalating into pandemics.

3. Strengthening Policy Frameworks

Developing comprehensive policy frameworks at the national and international levels can enhance preparedness and response to zoonotic diseases. Policies should focus on:

Research and Development: Supporting research on zoonotic pathogens and developing effective vaccines and treatments.

Public Awareness: Promoting public awareness campaigns to educate communities about zoonotic risks and prevention strategies.

Animal Health Regulations: Implementing regulations to monitor and control animal health, particularly in areas where human-animal interactions are high.

4. Engaging Local Communities

Local communities play a crucial role in managing zoonotic diseases. Engaging communities in health initiatives fosters trust and encourages participation in surveillance and prevention efforts. Training local health workers and providing resources can empower communities to take an active role in monitoring animal health and reporting unusual cases.

5. Leveraging Technology

Technology can significantly enhance the governance of zoonotic diseases. Advanced data analytics, artificial intelligence, and mobile applications can improve surveillance, data sharing, and risk assessment. These tools can help identify potential zoonotic threats early and enable timely responses.

Conclusion

The governance of emerging zoonotic diseases requires a multifaceted approach that combines international collaboration, surveillance, effective policies, community engagement, and technological innovation. Strengthening these elements can significantly mitigate the risks posed by zoonotic diseases and enhance global health security. As we face the ever-present threat of new pathogens, the need for coordinated action and governance has never been more critical.

Thailand's Health Security Could Be at Danger

For both Asia and the entire developing world, Thailand is considered as a leader in the field of health security. The nation of Southeast Asia is a member of the GHSA's permanent steering group and was chosen to serve as its chair in 2021. Thailand was ranked first in Asia and fifth overall in the Global Health Security Index (GHSI) 2021 report, making it the only top-15 nation without a high-income economy (the World Bank estimates that Thailand has had an upper middle-income economy since 2011). Global health security indexes may have come under fire after the Covid-19 epidemic revealed flaws in their past performance. The 2021 report, however, tried

Global healthcare integrates individual-level clinical care with population-based prevention, focuses on international health challenges, determinants, and solutions, and encompasses numerous academic fields in addition to the health sciences. We are excited to announce the call for abstract submissions for the upcoming CME/CPD accredited 14th International Healthcare, Hospital Management, Nursing, and Patient Safety Conference, which will be held From July 25–27, 2024 at Dubai, UAE & Virtual. Accepted abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings, providing an opportunity for your work to reach a wider audience. Submit the abstract here: https://nursing-healthcare.universeconferences.com/submit-abstract/

Global health security indexes may have come under fire after the Covid-19 epidemic revealed flaws in their past performance. The 2021 report, however, made an effort to address some of these complaints and shortfalls, continuing to support the idea that Thailand is a significant prospective role model for enhancing health security in environments with few (relatively) available resources. The difficulties Thailand has recently had with governance and political instability, however, overshadow the country's accomplishments in terms of health security.

Countries all across the world have been troubled by worries about current health security and how health systems can be enhanced throughout the Covid-19 outbreak. Lack of vaccine supplies, inadequate testing facilities, and restricted vaccination use have plagued developing nations, resulting in high infection rates, hospitalizations, and severe economic conditions.

Thailand maintained extremely low infection rates throughout the first year of the epidemic, which led many medical professionals to wonder why they mainly avoided harm. Their healthcare system and public health initiatives continue to lead Southeast Asia in terms of health security, despite an increase in instances until 2021.

Thailand's excellent GHSI score is mostly due to the country's accomplishments in two category measures: detection (first overall) and response (second overall). However, the country also does well in the majority of other GHSI categories, including those pertaining to the health system.

GHSI announced In terms of emergency readiness, response planning, and risk communication, Thailand consistently outperformed many other nations with more resources. According to reports, Thailand also maintains a reliable and effective laboratory system, complete with first-rate diagnostic capabilities and the potential to scale up laboratory specimen transportation in times of emergency. In addition to having comprehensive coverage and open access to basic healthcare services, their ability and investment in real-time surveillance and reporting contributes to their remarkable health security.

The Universal Coverage Scheme (UCS), which was adopted in 2001, is one of the noteworthy aspects of the Thai healthcare system. Thailand's healthcare access and affordability have grown significantly as a result of the healthcare reform, making it a model for other emerging nations' health systems. About 76% of the population is covered by the UCS, which is financed by general taxation; the remaining 24% are covered by the Social Security Scheme and the Civil Servant Benefit Scheme. Although the UCS is not perfect, it offers compelling proof that universal healthcare coverage is feasible in middle-income countries.

By preventing the spread of diseases across borders, Thailand's health system has been successful in ensuring the region's and the nation's strong health security. Given that Southeast Asia's tropical environment makes the region susceptible to new disease threats and continues to jeopardize Thai health security, it is especially impressive.

Thailand and the United States, a fellow member of the GHSA permanent steering group, joined into a bilateral initiative to strengthen international collaboration in health security. The United States-Thailand Communiqué on Strategic Alliance and Partnership, which was co-signed by the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Thailand and Anthony Blinken, Secretary of State of the United States, was made public by the U.S. Department of State on July 10, 2022. The communique highlights a number of strategic collaboration initiatives, including pledges to advance regional and international health security, in part by information sharing. Thailand is a valuable source of biosurveillance data due to its location in Southeast Asia, an area with a significant share of the world's communicable illness burden.

Threats to health security?

However, if confrontations between the populace and the military-backed administration continue, efforts in this sector are likely to be hampered. This might prevent timely disease threat data sharing and analysis, among other things. But as a brief political review of Thailand's recent years reveals, there is much more to the narrative.

Thailand has had contentious regime changes, with the most recent one taking place in 2014 and placing a military junta in power. In 2019, the political system changed to a primarily military-run but partially elected administration. Although Thailand's healthcare system is still robust for the time being, the absence of civil liberties and political rights show a quite different aspect to the country's development.

and provide a potential threat to health security. Large-scale anti-government protests in 2021 served as a focal point for the mounting discontent, which was ruthlessly suppressed by the military and police. People have criticized the severely enforced public health regulations for their part in imposing militant authority and censorship on the Thai populace in addition to their contribution to the nation's robust health security during the Covid-19 pandemic.
