Highlights from the 9th International Conference on Digital Public Health, Marseilles, November 2019

Описание: In November 2019, the team from UCL IRDR Centre for Digital Public Health in Emergencies (dPHE) attended the 9th International Conference on Digital Public Health (www.acm-digitalhealth.org) chaired again by the dPHE Centre Director, Prof Patty Kostkova.

Held on 20th - 23rd November 2019 in Marseille, France, the DPH 2019 was supported by the newly established UCL IRDR Centre for Digital Public Health in Emergencies (dPHE) and for the first time held in conjunction with a public health event - 12th European Public Health Conference 2019 and continue our cooperation with ACM Special Interest Group on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (SIGKDD). There were two parallel tracks on digital health: 9th DPH 2019 conference with technical focus, and a joint track with EPH 'Digital Applications in Health' bringing public health applications of digital health. Young researchers, MSc and PhD students enjoyed a truly interdisciplinary 'Young Researchers' Forum' day organised in collaboration with ASPHER, the Association of Public Health Schools in the European Region.

The Digital Public Health Conference represented a great opportunity to meet experts from different areas within the public health domain - world class researchers, World Health Organization representatives and small to medium-sized enterprises - it’s where the digital health minds meet.
