About Our Community

Our community of data scientists, spanning diverse areas of East Africa and beyond, is driven by a shared recognition: the imperative to inform data analytic models that holistically embrace of the social determinants of health (SDoH). We are propelled by the idea that knowledge and best practices which are established globally, find their most potent expression when nurtured by local insights.

Here, we are not just architects of databases and models; we are stewards of a Community of Practice. We are committed to harnessing the collective wisdom of our experts, fostering social learning, and channeling this rich tapestry of expertise and local context into models that transcend convention. These models shall not only rigorously capture the intricate effects of SDoH but also catalyze transformative interventions, refine practice, shape informed policies, and, above all, propel us toward healthier, more equitable societies across our home and beyond.
