Digital Health

As for all domains, public health is seeing its digital revolution. Mobilizing new information technologies to improve public health interventions has been named “precision public health”.

As Richard Horton wrote in a recent editorial (The Lancet, Oct 27, 2018) “Precision public health is about using the power of data to improve health and achieve social justice – equity, social inclusion, and empowerment. It should not be feared. It should be embraced”.

SSPH+ member institutions are all deeply committed into moving forward precision public health, by combining data science to life and social sciences.
