• Abstract: The ideal of a country's health information system (HIS) is to develop processes that ensure easy collection of relevant data and enable their conversion to useful health indicators, which guide decision making and support health interventions. In many Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), actively engaged in health reform efforts, the role of HIS is crucial, particularly in terms of quality of data and its ability to inspire trust in decision makers to actively use routine HIS data. Recognizing digital platforms potential to support those efforts, several interventions have been implemented in many LMICs. In turn, while the transition from paper registers to digital platforms carries the promise of improving data quality processes, this promise has been notoriously complex to materialize in practice. The authors draw upon more than 15 years of experience implementing HIS in Mozambique to understand how the potential of digital platforms have been realized with respect to data quality, what are the gaps and required remedial steps.

  Data-driven Machine Learning has emerged as a promising approach for building accurate and robust statistical models from medical data. Existing medical data is not fully exploited by ML primarily because it sits in data silos and privacy concerns restrict access to this data. This paper explores how Federated Learning may provide a solution for the future of digital health and highlights the challenges and considerations that need to be addressed.
