How Do Digital Health Technologies Impact Epidemiological Research?
Digital health technologies have revolutionized epidemiological research by providing access to vast amounts of high-quality data. Researchers can conduct large-scale observational studies using data from EHRs, wearables, and health apps. Additionally, machine learning algorithms can analyze these datasets to identify patterns and correlations that were previously difficult to detect. This accelerates the discovery of risk factors, disease mechanisms, and potential interventions.
