Abstract

Global pandemics such as the one that occurred with COVID-19 demonstrate the importance of preparedness and rapid response in dealing with public health crises. However, the effectiveness of public policies in dealing with the pandemic is often influenced by limited data and suboptimal analysis. This research aims to explore how data-driven approaches can be used to optimize public health policies to mitigate the impact of future pandemics. By adopting big data analytics and machine learning methodologies, this study analyzes the patterns of disease spread, health system responses, and socio-economic impacts of implemented policies. The results show that policies based on real-time data analysis can improve mitigation effectiveness and minimize long-term losses. In addition, the study also highlights the challenges in collecting and processing health data at the global level, as well as the importance of cross-sector collaboration to create a more responsive and adaptive health system. These findings provide important insights for policymakers in formulating more targeted and evidence-based health strategies to deal with potential future pandemics.
