About
The Digital Epidemiology Lab focuses on both regional and global health. Regionally, the lab collaborates with local health departments to protect and improve community health by preventing disease and injury, addressing environmental hazards, promoting healthy behaviors, and preparing for emergencies. Globally, the lab tackles health issues that transcend national borders and have significant political and economic impacts. Working with partners in the United States and abroad, the Digital Epidemiology Lab addresses major challenges such as the opioid abuse epidemic, the HIV epidemic, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
PROJECT SHOWCASE
Digital Futures Flashpoint Series | Overcoming Disparities in Health Care – The Coronavirus pandemic highlighted the disparities in health outcomes faced by residents of poorer communities. Whether it is a rural or urban population, our panelists will discuss the all-too-real challenges millions of Ohioans face every day, and what is working to address those challenges. Our discussion features opening remarks from Dr. Andrew Filak with insights from our experts: Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff from the Ohio Department of Health, Cara Dingus Brook for the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, and Digital Futures’ own Diego Cuadros. Moderated by Jai Chabria.
