New National Invention Patent: A Method for Detecting Spatiotemporal Differences in Public Risk Perception of Public Health Emergencies
Chao Song, as the primary inventor, alongside Jie Pan and Mingyu Xie, has been granted a national invention patent (CN Patent ZL 2022 1 0217055.2) for a method that detects the spatiotemporal differences in public risk perception during public health emergencies. This innovative approach offers valuable insights into understanding how public awareness and concern evolve across regions and time, aiding in more effective risk communication and response strategies.
In a collaborative effort, Chao Song, along with Lin X., Cai M., Tan K., Liu E., Wang X., and Pan J., contributed to a groundbreaking study titled ‘Ambient Particulate Matter and In-Hospital Case Fatality of Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Multi-Province Cross-Sectional Study in China.’ This research, published in the journal Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety (Volume 268, Article 115731, 2023), explores the impact of ambient particulate matter on the case fatality rates of acute myocardial infarction patients within hospitals across multiple provinces in China. The study underscores the significant health risks posed by air pollution and its direct correlation with increased mortality rates in acute myocardial infarction cases, marking a crucial step forward in understanding environmental determinants of heart disease outcomes.

In a recent collaborative study, Chao Song, alongside He Y., Seminara P.J., Huang X., Yang D., and Fang F., has co-authored an insightful article titled ‘Geospatial Modeling of Health, Socioeconomic, Demographic, and Environmental Factors with COVID-19 Incidence Rate in Arkansas, US.’ Published in the ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information (Volume 12, Issue 2, Article 45, 2023), this research employs geospatial modeling to analyze the complex interplay between health outcomes and various socioeconomic, demographic, and environmental factors in relation to COVID-19 incidence rates in Arkansas, USA. The study’s findings provide a nuanced understanding of the pandemic’s dynamics at the local level, highlighting the critical role of geospatial analysis in public health strategy and response efforts. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijgi12020045
In an influential piece of research, Chao Song, in collaboration with Wang Q., Li X., Zhong W., Liu H., Feng C., and Yang S., has contributed to an article titled ‘Residential Greenness and Dyslipidemia Risk: Dose-Response Relations and Mediation Through BMI and Air Pollution.’ Published in Environmental Research (Volume 217, Article 114810, 2023), the study investigates the association between residential greenness and the risk of dyslipidemia. It further explores how this relationship is mediated by factors such as Body Mass Index (BMI) and exposure to air pollution. The findings suggest a significant dose-response relationship, offering pivotal insights into how urban planning and environmental policies could influence public health, particularly in reducing the risk of dyslipidemia through enhanced residential green environments.
