Data Infrastructure and health

Geographic data

One of the biggest challenges we face is how to structure health information so that it can be mapped and used for further analysis.

What geographic unit should be used, if any at all? What information should be provided and in what format? How will the data be accessed and used?

Notifiable diseases

creating interactive dashboards and structuring data to enable for data to be visualised geographically

OneHealth

Tackling health in dynamically changing environments: an ecological systems perspective

Integrated Disease Systems

creating systems to monitor and manage diseases and enable for real-time responses
