Abstract

Big Data has been in the news for some time now. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted its uses in healthcare at the popular level when simple mobile apps have been used to collect large amounts of public data quickly, allowing scientists to advise governments on the best methods for tackling this health emergency. Jyoti Chibber-Goel describes another similar effort in a remote region of India where technology and Big Data are helping to fight the scourge of malaria that took more than half-a-million lives around the world in 2020.
