Four inventions—fire, wheel, electricity, and the
Internet—have revolutionized and fast-tracked economic
growth. The Internet has transformed the world and become
indispensable to our daily routines. Although it has shrunk the
geographies and drastically impacted all domains/sectors, its
real impact is yet to be realized, as we are still in the early

Four inventions—fire, wheel, electricity, and the
Internet—have revolutionized and fast-tracked economic
growth. The Internet has transformed the world and become
indispensable to our daily routines. Although it has shrunk the
geographies and drastically impacted all domains/sectors, its
real impact is yet to be realized, as we are still in the early
years of Internet technology and have a long way to go.
Nevertheless, we have indeed already experienced many
advancements; however, these were so fast and swiftly
ingrained in our daily lives that they went unnoticed and we
could not foresee the incoming positive and negative impacts. While we are trying to switch to
digital economies and digital democracies, we must take a step back and examine the carbon
footprint of these developments so that we become responsible species and use the Internet to
positively impact humanity and the planet. It is high time we move from focusing merely on
economic growth to aiming for holistic techno-socioeconomic development. Overall, the three
words—“technology,” “society,” and “economy”—will majorly cover critical aspects of what we
call “Responsible Internet Usage.” Show less

Navigating the Data Deluge: Turning Data into Insights across the Health Care and Life Sciences Industries

Navigating the Data Deluge: Turning Data into Insights across the Health Care and Life Sciences Industries

Recent technological advances across the health care and life sciences industries are producing an almost inexhaustible supply of data that, when leveraged, can be used to improve patient outcomes. This real-world data (RWD) can be derived from multiple sources, including what is traditionally considered health data, such as electronic health care and hospital records, wearable devices, or applications on smartphones. RWD can also be gathered from other sources, such as internet usage that sheds light on behavioral patterns among populations.

The challenge—and the opportunity—for health care and life sciences organizations is to access and analyze this wealth of data to form real-world evidence (RWE) that can be used to advance medical care. But the task of amassing all this data and examining it critically can be overwhelming. The wide variety of data, from disparate sources and in different formats, presents challenges for data aggregation, curation, ingestion, and standardization. Simply having access to data does not ensure that its value can be harnessed; organizations need the technology and skills to find meaningful patterns in the data and draw conclusions that can support decision making.

This third global survey of the WHO Global Observatory for eHealth (GOe) investigated how eHealth can support universal health coverage(UHC) in Member States. A total of 125 countries participated in the survey – a clear reflection of the growing interest in this area.

The report considers eHealth foundations built through policy development, funding approaches and capacity building in eHealth through the training of students and professionals. It then observes specific eHealth applications such as mHealth, telehealth, electronic health records systems and eLearning and how these contribute to the goals of UHC.

Of interest is the extent to which legal frameworks protect patient privacy in EHRs as health care systems move towards to delivering safer, more efficient, and more accessible health care. Finally the rapidly emerging areas of social media for health care as well as big data for research and planning are reported.

This report complements the Atlas of eHealth country profiles 2015 – the use of eHealth in support of universal health coverage
