    Abstract This article begins by briefly examining the multitude of ways in which climate and climate change affect human health and wellbeing. It then proceeds to present a quick overview of how geospatial data, methods and tools are playing key roles in the measurement, analysis and modelling of climate change and its effects on human health. Geospatial techniques are proving indispensable for making more accurate assessments and estimates, predicting future trends more reliably, and devising more optimised climate change adaptation and mitigation plans.

    Abstract Health digital twins (HDTs) are virtual representations of real individuals that can be used to simulate human physiology, disease, and drug effects. HDTs can be used to improve drug discovery and development by providing a data-driven approach to inform target selection, drug delivery, and design of clinical trials. HDTs also offer new applications into precision therapies and clinical decision making. The deployment of HDTs at scale could bring a precision approach to public health monitoring and intervention. Next steps include challenges such as addressing socioeconomic barriers and ensuring the representativeness of the technology based on the training and validation data sets. Governance and regulation of HDT technology are still in the early stages.

    Abstract This article offers a brief overview of 'privacy-by-design (or data-protection-by-design) research environments', namely Trusted Research Environments (TREs, most commonly used in the United Kingdom) and Personal Health Trains (PHTs, most commonly used in mainland Europe). These secure environments are designed to enable the safe analysis of multiple, linked (and often big) data sources, including sensitive personal data and data owned by, and distributed across, different institutions. They take data protection and privacy requirements into account from the very start (conception phase, during system design) rather than as an afterthought or 'patch' implemented at a later stage on top of an existing environment. TREs and PHTs are becoming increasingly important for conducting large-scale privacy-preserving health research and for enabling federated learning and discoveries from big healthcare datasets. The paper also presents select examples of successful TRE and PHT implementations and of large-scale studies that used them.

    Abstract This study was conducted with objectives to measure and validate the unified theory of the acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model as well as to identify the predictors of mobile health (mHealth) technology adoption among healthcare professionals in limited-resource settings. A cross-sectional survey was conducted at the six public and private hospitals in the two districts (Lodhran and Multan) of Punjab, Pakistan. The participants of the study comprised healthcare professionals (registered doctors and nurses) working in the participating hospitals. The findings of the seven-factor measurement model showed that behavioral intention (BI) to mHealth adoption is significantly influenced by performance expectancy (β = 0.504, CR = 5.064,

    Abstract A digital twin is a virtual model of a physical entity, with dynamic, bi-directional links between the physical entity and its corresponding twin in the digital domain. Digital twins are increasingly used today in different industry sectors. Applied to medicine and public health, digital twin technology can drive a much-needed radical transformation of traditional electronic health/medical records (focusing on individuals) and their aggregates (covering populations) to make them ready for a new era of precision (and accuracy) medicine and public health. Digital twins enable learning and discovering new knowledge, new hypothesis generation and testing, and

    Abstract Up to a fifth of patients who suffer a stroke had undiagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF). About 30% of AF patients are asymptomatic and remain undiagnosed, so there are no obvious (to the patient) forewarnings. Opportunistic screening for AF applied to the above clinical situation can save lives, since the strokes that occur as a result of AF are often large, severely debilitating or fatal. Today, anyone can buy a good, FDA-approved mobile electrocardiogram (ECG) device/smartwatch for AF detection on Amazon for €100-400, but not very many asymptomatic AF patients, particularly older patients, will do so on their own. In this article, we introduce the concept and potential benefits of opportunistic AF screening and detection in a community setting using the latest generation of affordable digital ECG capture and interpretation solutions integrated into easy-to-use "self-service health check-up stations" installed in public spaces, such as supermarkets and pharmacies. A comprehensive trial of the proposed self-service health check-up stations for AF screening is needed to produce more evidence to convince decision makers to fully buy into the idea of a nation-wide screening programme using these kiosks.

    Abstract Consistent and enjoyable physical activity (PA) can be a crucial component to improving or maintaining one's overall health status. Using advanced features on smartphones (GPS, Bluetooth, motion sensing, etc.) coupled with an app or game that is able to assist mobile users to not only track location, but also to interact socially with others based in real-life (IRL), virtual reality (VR), or alternate-reality (ARG), has the potential to give health experts better tools to encourage higher compliance to protocols, rehabilitation, behaviour change and health outcomes. This paper outlines the available mHealth apps that capitalize on pervasive smartphone features coupled with sensors, and suggests which features might impact future PA patterns. The authors argue that the ultimate mobile PA planning and tracking app/platform will be the one capable of supporting both precision and accuracy health (offering truly individualized PA advice and coaching while preserving user privacy) and precision and accuracy public health (providing public health decision makers with community-level PA indicators obtained from app data aggregates of user populations).

    Abstract Low digital health literacy affects large percentages of populations around the world and is a direct contributor to the spread of COVID-19-related online misinformation (together with bots). The ease and 'viral' nature of social media sharing further complicate the situation. This paper provides a quick overview of the magnitude of the problem of COVID-19 misinformation on social media, its devastating effects, and its intricate relation to digital health literacy. The main strategies, methods and services that can be used to detect and prevent the spread of COVID-19 misinformation, including machine learning-based approaches, health literacy guidelines, checklists, mythbusters and fact-checkers, are then briefly reviewed. Given the complexity of the COVID-19 infodemic, it is very unlikely that any of these approaches or tools will be fully effective alone in stopping the spread of COVID-19 misinformation. Instead, a mixed, synergistic approach, combining the best of these strategies, methods, and services together, is highly recommended in tackling online health misinformation, and mitigating its negative effects in COVID-19 and future pandemics. Furthermore, techniques and tools should ideally focus on evaluating both the message (information content) and the messenger (information author/source) and not just rely on assessing the latter as a quick and easy proxy for the trustworthiness and truthfulness of the former. Surveying and improving population digital health literacy levels are also essential for future infodemic preparedness.
