Abstract

The article discusses the role of data analysis and technological innovations in public health care. It notes that big data and their background algorithms have taken over the decision making role previously performed by humans. It adds that public health should consider preserving the individual's rights and privileges without extending the usage of data to other areas like military and criminal activities.
