Abstract

Digital footprint data are inspiring a new era in population health and well-being research. Linking these novel data with other datasets is critical for future research wishing to use these data for the public good. In order to succeed, successful collaboration among industry, academics and policy-makers is vital. Therefore, we discuss the benefits and obstacles for these stakeholder groups in using digital footprint data for research in the UK. We advocate for policy-makers' inclusion in research efforts, stress the exceptional potential of digital footprint research to impact policy-making and explore the role of industry as data providers, with a focus on shared value, commercial sensitivity, resource requirements and streamlined processes. We underscore the importance of multidisciplinary approaches, consumer trust and ethical considerations in navigating methodological challenges and further call for increased public engagement to enhance societal acceptability. Finally, we discuss how to overcome methodological challenges, such as reproducibility and sharing of learnings, in future collaborations. By adopting a multiperspective approach to outlining the challenges of working with digital footprint data, our contribution helps to ensure that future research can navigate these challenges effectively while remaining reproducible, ethical and impactful.

利用数字足迹数据促进人口健康:关于英国的合作、挑战和机遇的讨论。
数字足迹数据为人口健康和福祉研究开创了一个新时代。将这些新数据与其他数据集联系起来,对于希望利用这些数据为公众谋福利的未来研究至关重要。为了取得成功,产业界、学术界和政策制定者之间的成功合作至关重要。因此,我们讨论了这些利益相关群体在英国使用数字足迹数据进行研究的好处和障碍。我们主张将政策制定者纳入研究工作中,强调数字足迹研究在影响政策制定方面的巨大潜力,并探讨行业作为数据提供者的作用,重点关注共享价值、商业敏感性、资源需求和简化流程。我们强调多学科方法、消费者信任和伦理因素在应对方法挑战方面的重要性,并进一步呼吁加强公众参与,提高社会接受度。最后,我们讨论了如何在未来的合作中克服方法学方面的挑战,如可重复性和学习成果共享。通过采用多视角的方法来概述使用数字足迹数据所面临的挑战,我们的贡献有助于确保未来的研究能够有效地应对这些挑战,同时保持可重现性、道德性和影响力。
