The role of big data in public health delivery and management has become starkly clear in recent times, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the same time, concerns around states and the private sector utilizing public health data platforms as a tool for mass surveillance and control are also growing.
The aim of the event was to find a balance between these two concerns and a better understanding of how citizens can engage with the democratic process to enable appropriate policies and standards in public health data systems.
Other speakers included:
Prateek Waghre, a Technology, Policy Research Analyst at The Takshashila Institution.
Srinivas Kodali, an independent researcher working on data, governance and internet. He volunteers with technology movements in India.
