Data and Trust For Health and Wellness SDG3 with a reference to Climate Change
IGF Dynamic Coalition on Data Driven Health Technologies
Session 199
Excellence in communication, data collection and management, for quality AI and technology applications
It is critical that the quality of data entering AI and other data based systems is clear, relevant, accurate, readable, translatable, creditable, free of error, free of mis-information, free of dis-information, legal, factual, trusted and so forth. Poor data quality input can result in poor data outputs. This can have serious consequences for health and wellness data reporting and use, as well as for all applications of ICTs. Data that goes on to be shared with secondary systems can be prone to poor quality if the primary data gathering system is not secured for a high data quality standard. Unintended consequences can occur, with poor data quality, causing serious issues for risk management of the data. This session will explore view-points on securing data quality for quality data systems from the perspective of health, wellness and climate change and ICTs in general. Examples of technology in use, that support trusted data sharing will be examined, e.g. blockchain.
