The impacts on population health by China's regional health data centers and the potential mechanism of influence by Jiaoli Cai, Yue Li, Peter C Coyte

“…Furthermore, due to differences in individual e-health literacy, the pilot centers produced “pro-rich” health inequality where high-income groups benefited more from the establishment of the pilot centers in terms of health than low-income groups. Conclusions This study has highlighted the potential to improve population health, in general, with the advent of big data centers, but for these benefits be unevenly distributed among the resident population.…”
