Background Since the outbreak of COVID-19, development dashboards as dynamic, visual tools for communicating COVID-19 data has surged worldwide. Dashboards can inform decision-making and support behavior change. To do so, they must be actionable. The features that constitute an actionable dashboard in context pandemic have not been rigorously assessed. Objective aim this study is to explore characteristics public web-based by assessing their purpose users (“why”), content (“what”), analyses...
