Abstract: This study explores digitalization in the healthcare sector, and presents insights on the use of data for developing and organizing preventive healthcare services for young people, which has been identified as one of the most crucial issues to be tackled by public decision-makers. Conducted as a qualitative case study with municipal decision-makers, this study highlights the needs and implications of data as a complex, systemic issue with far reaching long-term impact, where the right kind of data could improve the health and well-being of the society far beyond healthcare domain.
