Data-driven modelling in the living system has increasing significance with the abundance of complex data of different modalities. Data are being collected at different scales, from molecular to genetic, cellular, organ, organism and vital signs, to electronic health records. In addition, we produce individual health data, sleep and mobility data collected with wearable devices, as well as data collected from social media, professional networks, workplace and the environment in general. Modelling these data is now possible with the advances of several methods and technologies, all part of the artificial intelligence framework. Modern data analysis is a powerful lens with which we can zoom in and out of the living system, similar to what we can observe with a microscope. This theme issue presents data-driven models which reflect several different angles and lenses to zoom in and out of the human body, to observe and analyse the role and functions of its genes, cells, organs and the interactions between them, as well as the role of the human in the society and environment.
