Exploring innovative solutions through research
Research
ongoingHarnessing routinely collected data for timely healthcare decisions in LMICs amidst pandemics.
The ongoing emergence and resurgence of global pandemics pose serious challenges, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where health systems often lack the capacity to promptly detect and track their potential impacts. Digital epidemiology — which leverages routinely collected health data — holds significant promise in generating timely evidence to guide healthcare decisions and reduce the negative effects of pandemics. This project seeks to enhance the resilience of health systems in LMICs through digital transformation, aiming to improve their preparedness and ability to respond effectively to current and future pandemics.
