Hello, I have taken up a project that deals with data visualization of public health data of a state for health policy making and even apply machine learning and predictive modelling on public health data.But I am stuck up that which questions i have to exactly answer through my visualization and what is the need of a health policy maker so that my project could help in policy making.It is not possible for me attend the workshop but if anyone could help me or connect me to someone who could guide me in understanding the requirements.
