New and innovative digital technologies provide the public health domain with exciting opportunities to improve the health of citizens globally. Harnessing the potential of data analytics, AI, and digital interventions can help to prevent disease, empower citizens with appropriate health information, and achieve universal healthcare. This session will focus on the emerging sector of digital public health and how evolving digital maturity is changing the face of how public health is delivered globally. Experts will explore if systems are ready for this challenge and how we can assess digital maturity in the sector of public health.
