Productizing Data for Humanitarian Aid Applications
In humanitarian efforts focused on delivering medical interventions in low-resource settings, there are many opportunities for data science to improve decision-making and produce valuable insights, both on the ground and in long-term operations. This talk will focus on product approaches to data that support insights for long-term engagement with some of the work of Médecins Sans Frontières, a global aid organization focused on public health.
