COVID-19
During the COVID-19 pandemic, big data was raised as a way to minimise the impact of the disease. Significant applications of big data included minimising the spread of the virus, case identification and development of medical treatment.

Governments used big data to track infected people to minimise spread. Early adopters included China, Taiwan, South Korea and Israel.
