European Pharmaceutical Manufacturer sits down with Derek Wang, CEO of data analytics company Stratifyd, to discuss the Covid-19 pandemic and how technology can be better used to predict and potentially curtail disease outbreaks.

Social media

A data analytics company, Stratifyd uses augmented intelligence to help businesses gain a better insight into things such as customer data, in the hopes that this helps them uncover hidden avenues which can lead to increased revenue streams.  The company aggregates all data sources into one platform that then uses augmented intelligence (basically the assistive use of artificial intelligence into enhancing human understanding) to uncover insights which can help businesses spend less time focusing on data and focus their efforts elsewhere.   

In Wang’s words, the platform has been designed to help “individuals and teams discover, interpret, and tell their data story.” Data are processed by a range of tools which includes a Natural Language Understanding engine and a Structured Data Learning engine to uncover any hidden signals within those data points. Following this, the Stratifyd platform applies an artificial intelligence (AI) model which automatically analyses the data stream.
