This webinar will explore how digital technologies have been used during the pandemic and consider the potential for driving change in health and social care provision.
The potential of big data approaches are increasingly being recognised, and the value of people's data signatures as indicators of activity, well-being, and broader social trends is being explored in various healthcare settings.
