Given the increased need for high-quality and real-time data brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the time is opportune to leverage new data sources, methods, and technology. Within our session, we will first present a framework developed to organize the data innovation space into categories and sub-categories which provides a structured way of thinking about the space. Next, we will share current trends in nutrition data innovations from our scoping review. Participants can expect to learn about areas of nutrition where data innovations are used, the most frequent types of innovation used, geographic distribution and scaling stages of the innovation, and the aspects of the data value chain influenced. Finally, we will offer opportunities for the nutrition sector to consider to further leverage or adopt existing solutions from other sectors to fill remaining data gaps and provide recommendations to consider when adopting or scaling an innovation. We hope to inspire participants by sharing example innovations and starting a conversation about emerging solutions and potential future investments.
