Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of IJERPH calls for papers discussing Big Data, Digital Transformation and Population Health within the context of COVID-19. Since the onset of the pandemic, there has been significant global progress in Big Data, digital transformation and their use in population health and healthcare delivery. Topics related to Big Data and digital transformation during the pandemic include eHealth/telehealth, scanning, testing, COVID tracing, geographical epidemiology, new initiatives and innovations for data sharing, risk communication and management, data privacy, governance and ethics, among others.
Despite the apparent advancements in the use of Big Data and Digital Transformation during the pandemic, given the variation in technological capabilities, and population-level differences in health/internet literacy, there are likely to be disparities in health gains within and across countries.
Our Special Issue seeks to gain a greater understanding of how Big Data and digitally transformed systems within the context of a pandemic could be used more efficiently for greater health gains for our populations. This issue provides an excellent opportunity for those involved in these areas to share their knowledge on the development, the progress, the gains and the lessons learnt.
