Description

Currently, 28% of Scottish children are overweight or obese. By 2025, 49M more children will be obese or overweight than in 2010. And 10% of the UK’s National Health Service budget is used on diabetes-related illness.

The Data Lab is currently collaborating with academia, the Scottish government, and private organizations such as the custodians of shopper data, TV advertising, exercise data, and school meals to demonstrate social good and data for good. Jude McCorry and Mahmood Adil offer an overview of Data Collaboratives, a new form of collaboration beyond the public-private partnership model in which participants from different sectors  exchange data, skills, leadership, and knowledge to solve complex problems facing children in Scotland and worldwide via Unicef.

Topics include:

  • Diagnostic applications (diagnosing diabetes from NHS and school data, among other sources)
  • Causative applications (taking on obesity through datasets that NHS does not collect, like shopper data, Fitbit data, school dinner data, etc.)
  • Prognostic applications (determining what interventions work and how these can be translated across the world to other countries facing the same issues)
  • Next steps (setting up a Data Collaboratives hub in Scotland where data scientists, strategists, academics, and consultants can work on some of the most complex problems facing children in the future, from malnutrition, eating disorders, and teenage suicide rates in India to the spread of disease and issues around refugee status)
