    The final chapter ties together insights from the book’s overall analysis, specifically in relation to the critical perspectives and theory introduced in Chapter 2. It emphasises two main issues: firstly in the field of big data-driven public health research, one can observe complex (inter-)dependencies between academic research and the commercial interests of internet and tech corporations. This is notably related to two main developments: on the one hand, data access is often controlled by these companies; on the other hand, these companies incentivise research at the intersection of technology and health (e.g. through funding and selective data access).
