World Health Organization (WHO) published this video item, entitled “Complexity of Pandemics N°5 – Embracing Open Source Solutions for Health Emergencies” – below is their description.
In this fifth instalment of the Speaker Series, we will discuss the relevance of Open Source approaches in digital solutions for health emergency preparedness and response. How can the application of Open Source principles improve public health technologies? What are the challenges and opportunities in “open-sourcing” digital solutions across the globe? How can communities of Open Source contributors be forged to jointly innovate technologies? How can we ensure the sustainability of Open Source technologies in the space? Our two speakers – to be announced shortly – will share stories of how they have implemented Open Source technologies for health emergency preparedness and response. The Speaker Series event will also function as a public launch event of the Open Source Programme Office (OSPO) of the WHO Pandemic Hub. The OSPO is an initiative which supports WHO as well as stakeholders from Member States, partners and academia to collaboratively develop sustainable, innovative, and impactful Open Source solutions for pandemic and epidemic intelligence. The event will be co-hosted by Charité Center for Global Health.
