Someone said "Getting good #data is hard; using data to change minds is harder." So we worked on how to use our data to CHANGE people's minds. The good news? It CAN be done. 92% of subscribers of @Kinsa's Local Illness Alerts are taking preventative action when illness is high!
Building + growing a business is HARD. But every new customer is validation that we've created something unique & valuable, that solves a real problem. I'm proud that a new @kinsa customer means we're closer to curbing the spread of illness. #publichealthprnewswire.com/news-releases…
While #COVID is no longer an acute emergency, it is not yet endemic. Its still highly unpredictable. When our #publichealth emergency expires, we'll have less access to testing -- a change bound to hit our most vulnerable communities the most. nytimes.com/2023/01/30/us/po…
This @TheAtlantic article is spot on. #publichealthdata is not painting the full picture. BUT we're missing a big piece of the #data puzzle. We need more early warning systems like @kinsa to detect unknown viruses before they become a problem.

Love sharing the start of #kinsa with such passionate students at #umichcfe. How do you stop an outbreak before it becomes a #pandemic? That’s the problem statement that started #kinsa. 10 years later we are predicting the spread of illness up to 20 wks in advance #publichealth
Takeaways from today's panel: 1. We need advanced mkt commitments in both #data & medical 2. Triggers to incorporate these into our #pandemicreponse as soon as the next #pandemic starts. Big incentives here for public & private sectors both to collab and innovate.

Great point in our #UNGA77 panel @JoyPhumaphi_ Social media plays a clear role in informing the public during a #pandemic They have a duty to partner w/ public sector & provide clear info to prevent misinformation before next pandemic.

Profit is a bad word in the public sector, but drives the private sector. We see this contradiction often. So let's use that. The private sector can profit from participating in #pandemicpreparedness and public sector benefits too. Profit & #publichealth can coexist.

What makes private-public partnerships work? Advanced mkt commitments for medical & data countermeasures, accountability & cmnd structure that includes everyone, not just govt. Great insights from today's panel.
#UNGA77#healthequity#pandemicresponse#publichealth#globalhealth
We're hearing over and over again from speakers with rich histories in public health that we must think about data services as core to private-public partnerships for pandemic response.

Partnerships b/w innovators & public sector are CRITICAL to get ahead of the nxt pandemic. So lets talk abt why public sector hasnt fully leveraged existing innovations to save lives during #COVID19. Join me as I moderate a #UNGA2022 Science Summit panel! ssunga77.sched.com/event/14W…
Glad #CDC is taking accountability for the response to COVID-19 + finally moving towards much needed reorg. Last yr I shared thoughts on how & why CDC needs to change. Let’s not waste this opportunity @cdcgovinder-singh.medium.com/natio…#publichealth
