COVID-19 will not be the last global pandemic. Identifying better tools and methods to control the life cycle of pandemics is a primary concern of policy makers and market leaders. Modern digital technologies, such as mobile phones, data analysis, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and social media, provide a unique set of tools for data delivery and analysis, modeling, communicating and influencing behavior and for managing life cycles of pandemics.


Participants in the DATA against COVID-19 online DeepHack will use data to develop scalable solutions that can alleviate the current global COVID-19 pandemic. Policy makers, health services and industry leaders can help manage the pandemic life cycle and prevent future public health crises.

  • Alert or monitoring system using mobile DATA
