Climate Change and Global Health Informatics: What Are the Opportunities and Challenges

Climate change is a growing threat to global health, driving more frequent and intense heat waves, wildfires, disease shifts, and extreme weather. An estimated 3.6 billion people live in high-risk areas, with climate-related deaths projected to rise by 250,000 annually by 2030–2050, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This panel will explore how global health informatics can support data-driven decision-making, improve preparedness, and address data challenges to mitigate climate-related health impacts.

Speakers

  • Felix Holl, PhD, MPH, M.Sc., FAMIA, Neu-Ulm University of Applied Sciences
  • James Tcheng, MD, Duke University Health System
  • Elizabeth Campbell, MS, MSPH, PhD, Columbia University Department of Biomedical Informatics
  • Farah Magrabi, PhD, Macquarie University, Australian Institute of Health Innovation

Wearable Sensor Data - Data on the Go

This panel features six distinct discussions exploring how innovative technologies and data-driven approaches are advancing patient care and health system efficiency. Topics include blockchain-based self-sovereign identity and NFTs for secure, patient-controlled data sharing; improved classification of wearable sensor data using novel image representations and augmentation techniques; and a voice-activated self-monitoring app designed to aid individuals managing both diabetes and hypertension. Additional presentations examine integrating remote patient monitoring data with EHRs to predict emergency department visits, the use of wearable sensors to detect short-form video addiction through multi-modal domain adaptation, and barriers to adoption of a clinical decision support tool for emergency department discharge decisions in acute heart failure cases. Together, these sessions highlight emerging tools and frameworks aimed at enhancing health outcomes, patient autonomy, and system-level decision-making.
