This scholarly paper delves into the realm of data science in public health, with a specific focus on the transformative role of predictive analytics in disease control across the United States and Africa. Set against a backdrop of rapidly evolving healthcare challenges, the study aims to dissect and synthesize the advancements, applications, and hurdles associated with data-driven health strategies in these diverse geographical contexts. Employing a qualitative analysis of peer-reviewed literature, the paper meticulously examines the evolution of predictive analytics, comparing public health structures, and scrutinizing key diseases and health challenges prevalent in both regions. The scope of the study extends to exploring the ethical considerations and technological advancements in health data utilization, offering a panoramic view of the current and potential landscape of data science in public health. The findings reveal a significant surge in the application of predictive analytics, particularly in the USA for chronic disease management and in Africa for infectious disease control. The study highlights the successes and challenges in implementing data-driven health policies, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that addresses technological, ethical, and cultural barriers. The future of AI and machine learning in disease control is identified as a promising domain, with potential for further innovation and integration into healthcare and public policy. Conclusively, the paper recommends continued investment in data science applications in public health, advocating for collaborative efforts to overcome implementation challenges and ethical considerations. The study underscores the transformative potential of data science in enhancing healthcare delivery, advocating for more effective, efficient, and equitable healthcare systems globally.

“…The digital divide refers to the gap in access to and utilization of digital technologies between different populations or regions [46]. Seafarers who work on vessels operating in international waters or regions with limited connectivity may face difficulties in accessing telemedicine services due to unreliable or nonexistent internet connections [47]. The digital divide requires collaborative efforts from the government, maritime industry bodies, and telecommunications companies.…”

Objective: From medicine via radio to telemedicine, personalized medical care at sea has improved significantly over the years. Currently, very little research has been conducted on telemedicine services and tools at sea. This study aims to review real-time case studies of seafarers’ personalized treatment via telemedical devices published in medical journals. Methods: A literature search was conducted using three libraries such as PubMed (Medline), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), BioMed Central, and Google Scholar. The Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) were used for information retrieval and document selection was conducted based on the guidelines of preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) 2020 flowchart. Selected articles were subjected to quality checks using the Newcastle–Ottawa scale (NOS). Results: The literature search produced 785 papers and documents. The selection was conducted in three stages such as selection, screening, and inclusion. After applying predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, only three articles on real-time medical assistance with telemedical tools were identified. It is reported that medical attention is delivered to seafarers in real time thanks to advancements in telemedicine, satellite technology, and video conferencing. Conclusions: By improving the quality of medical care and reducing response times for medical emergencies at sea, lives have been saved. There are still several gaps despite these advancements. Medical assistance at sea should therefore be improved to address many of the still unsolved issues.
