How using mobility data can help protect the nation’s health
Planning to protect
The UK Health Security Agency uses O2 Motion data to understand and predict the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other emerging health threats.
The UKHSA has developed innovative analysis and modelling to understand population movement and behaviour fed by O2 data. These insights are helping to inform government policy and prepare for future health threats.
“Business brought a collaborative approach from the start. They helped us understand the data and develop new ways to use it.”
