These two experts in their field bring a different perspective on the topic, Shikta, coming from the viewpoint of a data scientist, and Tazeen, that of a digital health expert. In this episode, you will hear about the role of data-driven technologies in creating accessible, more inclusive, and efficient care delivery models.  They also highlight the critical opportunities that need to be addressed to unlock the value of data and digital tools to ensure that diagnostics, digital solutions, and treatments are adequate for every segment of the population. They talk about bridging the data gap, the impact of biased data on research and diagnosis, how decentralised clinical trials can help address these issues, and much more.
