Monitoring Disease Outbreaks and Health Risks: Utilize space data (e.g. Copernicus and Galileo datasets) to predict and monitor health threats, whether disease vectors or environmental change to predict public health risks, and more.
Smart Emergency Healthcare Delivery: Enhance emergency response through innovative delivery systems.
Mental Health and Well-Being: Develop tools to assess and improve mental health influenced by environmental factors.
