DrivenData Labs created a real-time interactive map to visualize attacks on the Ukrainian health care system and automated agricultural entity recognition in messaging apps for plant doctors. They have matched students with higher education programs using machine learning, visualized fair trade coffee product flows, developed KPIs for PAYG solar energy companies, and mapped patient journeys to improve hospital efficiency. The company has flagged public health risks at restaurants by analyzing Yelp reviews and city data, built algorithms to auto-tag school spending, supported anti-trafficking efforts in Nepal, and translated machine learning research into practical software for lung cancer diagnosis. DrivenData Labs has also developed online data science competitions for students with Microsoft, maintains several open-source projects, and worked with IDEO.org to promote digital financial services in Tanzania and Uganda. They created a supply chain map for Fair Trade USA and developed a KPI framework for off-grid solar energy providers.
