What are the challenges of integrating technology in epidemiology?
Despite the numerous benefits, integrating technology into epidemiology also presents challenges. Data privacy and security are major concerns, as the collection and analysis of sensitive health information require stringent safeguards. Additionally, there can be issues related to data quality, interoperability of different systems, and the digital divide that may limit access to technology in low-resource settings. Addressing these challenges is essential for the effective and ethical use of technology in public health.
