Public health is not about treatment of individual illness, it’s about prevention within populations. While implementation of reactive public health policies is a challenge, the even bigger challenge is in the prediction of meaningful public health interventions, catching them before they start. This book shows health practitioners how to leverage analytics and technology to become truly predictive and preventive. The book shows how to develop frameworks for this kind of information, and gives cutting edge case studies across those frameworks to illustrate. This will save lives, time, and resources.
