About UCL Centre for Digital Public Health in Emergencies

Recent health emergencies - including the SARS, Zika and Ebola outbreaks, and the Haiti and Nepal earthquakes - have unnecessarily taken thousands lives and cost the global economy billions. These events have shown the limits of current health systems' capacity and communities resilience to respond to emergencies at local, national and international levels. Bringing together experts from UCL and external stakeholders, the Centre leads on interdisciplinary research, training and policy advice to improve global health through community engagement using mobile technology, and strengthen emergency preparedness and rapid response by real-time data modeling, analytics and early warning systems.
