• Abstract summary: This study sought to redefine the Healthy People 2030 SDoH taxonomy to accommodate the COVID-19 pandemic. We aim to implement a prototype for the Urban Population Health Observatory (UPHO), a web-based platform that integrates classified group-level SDoH indicators to individual- and aggregate-level population health data.

• Abstract: Background: COVID-19 is impacting people worldwide and is currently a leading cause of death in many countries. This study sought to redefine the Healthy People 2030 SDoH taxonomy to accommodate the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, we aim to provide a blueprint and implement a prototype for the Urban Population Health Observatory (UPHO), a web-based platform that integrates classified group-level SDoH indicators to individual- and aggregate-level population health data. The process of building the UPHO involves collecting and integrating data from several sources, classifying the collected data into drivers and outcomes, incorporating data science techniques for calculating measurable indicators from the raw variables, and studying the extent to which interventions are identified or developed to mitigate drivers that lead to the undesired outcomes. We generated and classified the indicators of social determinants of health, which are linked to COVID-19. To display the functionalities of the UPHO platform, we presented a prototype design to demonstrate its features. We provided a use case scenario for 4 different users. UPHO serves as an apparatus for implementing effective interventions and can be adopted as a global platform for chronic and infectious diseases. The UPHO surveillance platform provides a novel approach and novel insights into immediate and long-term health policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and other future public health crises. The UPHO assists public health organizations and policymakers in their efforts in reducing health disparities, achieving health equity, and improving urban population health.

This paper proposes a STOP-temporal knowledge mining framework, named STOP to model the impact of human mobility and contextual information over large geographic area in different temporal scales. The framework has two modules: (i) S-temporal data and computing infrastructure using fog/edge based architecture; and (ii) S-temporal data analytics module to efficiently extract knowledge from heterogeneous data sources.
