Digital Global Public Health

Prof. Dr. Lothar Wieler

Global Public Health (GPH) is the science of protecting and improving population health on a global, multi-country scale based on the Essential Public Health Operations (EPHOS). These central functions are a guiding force for public health and aim for health equity, population participation and inter-sectoral governance models. GPH thus supports and complements individual health care. The Chair for Digital Global Public Health at HPI uses data-driven digital applications, emphasizes on public health communication and dedicates its research and activities towards disease prevention and population-level health promotion while improving circumstances (e.g. access to digital health) and health behavior within and across communities.
