COVID-19 will not be the last global pandemic and identifying better tools and methods to manage the lifecycle of pandemics is a primary concern of policy makers and industry leaders. Modern digital technology, like mobile phones, data analytics, AI and social media offer a unique set of tools to provide and analyse data, to model, communicate and influence behaviour and help manage pandemic lifecycles.

Participants to the DATA against COVID-19 online DeepHack will use data to develop scalable solutions with potential to alleviate the current global COVID-19 pandemic, help policymakers, health services and industry leaders manage the pandemic lifecycle and prevent future public health crises.

EIT Digital welcomes in particular solutions in the domains :

• Alert or monitoring systems using mobile DATA
• Provision of information and DATA sharing relevant to COVID-19
