Data science and health economics in precision public health
MA Talias et al, Frontiers in Public Health, December, 2022

Theory, methods, and models from AI and data science are already changing the public health landscape in community settings and have shown promising results in multiple applications in public health, including geocoding health data, digital public health, predictive modeling and decision support, and mobile health. Overall, Precision Public Health utilizes tools and methods to extract health and non-health data at different levels of granularity, harmonize and integrate information about populations and communities to tailor cost-effective interventions for specific population groups, improving people's health.

Data-enabled responses to pandemics: policy lessons from COVID-19.
Dhami Sangeeta et al. Nature medicine 2022 10

The pandemic required a series of policy, public health and clinical decisions to be taken, with major consequences to societal functioning, economics and care provision. The taking of these decisions was always going to be complex, but for most places this was exacerbated by the lack of availability of relevant data3. By contrast, a handful of territories substantially developed their data capabilities over the course of the pandemic, generating important insights to guide their own national decisions and to inform international deliberations.
