About this talk Public health innovation is needed to improve population healthy weight. Emerging data and digital technologies (e.g., electronic medical records, artificial intelligence) can unlock new intelligence to inform precise interventions and policies for people at risk for obesity – the right preventive intervention for the right community at the right time.

This seminar will showcase a multidisciplinary research program to use digital health as an enabler for obesity prevention at scale in Queensland, Australia (our “small” state of >5 million people!). This program will highlight the strength of partnerships between academia, healthcare, and industry to drive data-driven innovation for obesity prevention.
