Research summary
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of using data to understand the spread of the Coronavirus, predict future trends of the pandemic in space and time, forecast challenges for healthcare delivery and inform government management policies. The availability of national electronic health records and longitudinal cohort studies provides unique opportunities for using big data to better understand the impact of COVID-19 on population health.
The key aim of this project is to make use of secondary, pre-existing, data sources, to answer important questions related to COVID-19 infection and long COVID and their impact on population health.
