Dr Database: health surveillance in the shadow of COVID-19
Here at UCL, our researchers are using health data to understand COVID-19 in a variety of ways – from the spread of the virus, to exploring the effects of social distancing on our mental health, to finding out how underlying health conditions affect mortality rates, to improving healthcare outcomes for vulnerable children. Four experts will present how they’re using our data to better understand the pandemic. A panel discussion, chaired by UCL alumna and broadcaster Vivienne Parry OBE, will follow exploring the ethical concerns and trust issues surrounding the collection and analysis of data for countering COVID-19 and improving public health.
