Abstract:
This paper presents a context-aware healthcare dataset that has been designed to understand and monitor the healthshocks in Pakistan.

In total, 1,000 households belonging to 29 villages in rural areas participated in this user study. The purpose of this research is to monitor health-shocks in a community using data visualization and predictive modelling. We envisage that this study will provide insight into the relationships between socio-economic, demographic, and geographical conditions impacting health issues.
