Doctor in the House: Can Data Help Fight the Next Pandemic?

What’s the biggest advantage we have in our fight against the COVID-19 pandemic? The obvious answer may be vaccines, but in fact, data is the best weapon we have. But collecting data alone is not enough – how do we make sense of it, and how do we use it to respond more effectively to the outbreak? Dr Dhesi Baha Raja and Michelle Chan from AINQA Health shed light on how data science and artificial intelligence can be harnessed, not only to fight the current pandemic, but to predict future outbreaks.
