Theme 9: Key Areas in Antimicrobial Resistance That Require More Action

Leveraging on technology and data Sciences to address Antimicrobial Resistance

By Dr. Maarten Van Dongen and Dr. Heather Graz

In this session, we take a deeper look into the paper, “leveraging on technology and data science to address Antimicrobial resistance”. We talk about data and data technologies what they mean, why they are important and the data technology tools that we can use to combat the spread of AMR.
