Climate Smart Public health

Climate-Smart Public Health (CSPH) is a group of faculty, research scientists, post-doctoral researchers, graduate students, and college students studying data science methodologies in the context of climate change and environmental impacts on health outcomes in Madagascar. CSPH research ranges from statistical methodology and causal inference to machine learning and artificial intelligence. Data processing, analysis, and visualization are all elements of our research.

The purpose of the CSPH data platform is to create pipelines for reproducible research that can be used in Madagascar and elsewhere. Deployment is assumed to be in a secure environment.

The platform includes a number of built-in pipelines to integrate databases across measures of the climate, environment, biophysical environment, regulatory and environmental policy, and health outcomes (e.g., vector-borne disease, water-borne disease, nutrition, maternal health, cardiovascular disease, respiratory illnesses, and neuro-cognitive health outcomes, among others.
