In the context of combating a pandemic such as that currently caused by the outbreak of COVID-19, and considering that a large part of the problems that occurred were difficult to anticipate, it is now clear that the response capacity and, above all, the effectiveness of the solutions developed, it will significantly benefit from a greater sharing of information between the multiple levels of management of our society.

The Data4Covid19 project proposes the development of a platform that enhances the crossing of multiple data sources in an integrated manner, allowing the relevant entities in each of the areas of action to design, implement, and monitor, in an articulated way, measures to combat pandemic.

The proposed action plan intends to guarantee the availability of instruments that contribute, from now on, to a better management of the current situation, but also, that enables an effective retention of knowledge, fundamental for the future combat of situations of the same type, whether in planning and construction of public policies, either in management. Through the ability to aggregate and process multisectoral information, it will be possible to obtain real-time indicators of the measures implemented, in terms of risk management and impact assessment in each of the phases.
