The pandemic has exposed many weaknesses in our healthcare and public health systems, and our disjointed public health data infrastructure is certainly one of them. Like much of our healthcare data, public health data tends to be manually compiled, Excel-reliant, and lacking in critical detail needed to make good decisions. Today we talk with Prashant Natarajan, VP of Healthcare Life Sciences and Health Insurance at H2O.ai about reimagining the collection and use of public health data.

 

Public Health Data Topics Discussed

 

  • The current state of our public health data infrastructure (12:20)
  • Why data is the lifeblood of our society, and how it can help us make better public health decisions (22:36)
  • How the pandemic has exposed our weaknesses, and how the private sector can help (28:12)
  • The gaps in our public health data and opportunities for improvement (33:19)
  • Enable better decision-making with demographic and socioeconomic data (40:17)
  • The importance of sharing lessons from region to region and country to country (44:54)
  • Applications and use cases for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in public health data (52:01)
  • Converting data to narrative form and the importance of storytelling (1:02:22)

 

This was a fascinating conversation, and Prashant is always a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy it!
