📝 New blog up on @defeatdd.bsky.social Hundreds of thousands of kids die from diarrheal disease each year—yet it’s preventable. In our new Q&A, Plan-EO members share how big data is helping change that. @jmcolston.bsky.social 👉 defeatdd.org/blog/plan-eo... #DefeatDD #PlanEO #GlobalHealth #Episky

How Plan-EO is using big data to tackle diarrheal disease
The Plan-EO team's dashboard brings together huge amounts of big data to track and predict where diarrhea-causing pathogens are.

💡What struck Josh most was how connected Japan is in global health. From PhD students from Vietnam, Kenya, and the DRC to collaborations across the Global South and North, these ties show why different perspectives matter. 🔗 awaji-forum.com/en/2025 #ChildHealth #epiSky

🌐 ClimED links climate and health data using large-scale surveillance, including high-income countries. Plan-EO focuses on specific pathogens in LMICs. Together these views give a fuller picture of diarrheal disease. 🔗 paulcarlos.quarto.pub/climed #epiSky

💧 In 2019, unsafe WASH caused over 1M child deaths, including 69% of diarrheal deaths worldwide according to @who.int. @planeoproject.bsky.social is building a dashboard under @jmcolston.bsky.social leadership linking climate + child health to guide solutions. #EpiSky #GlobalHealth #Plan-EO

@ourworldindata.org shows diarrheal diseases are now the 5th leading cause of death in children📉the lowest ever recorded. A global health milestone 🌍but risks remain. At Plan-EO we’re working to lock in progress with data + action 💡💪. www.planeo.earth #EpiSky #GlobalHealth #PublicHealth #ChildHealth
