A monumental stride in Nigeria’s healthcare sector has been marked by the remarkable success of the Data Drive 100 program’s first cohort from the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) Teaching Hospital.
This initiative, at the heart of CycleBreeze’s corporate social responsibility, has empowered a group of public health professionals with advanced data analytics skills, enabling them to launch a groundbreaking health tech product, and the opportunity to contribute to internationally published papers, with complimentary course material culminating in the issuance of a professional certificate.
CycleBreeze’s innovative program aims to enrich 100 public health professionals from 10 Nigerian hospitals with data analytics proficiency. This educational endeavor focuses on practical skills in data visualization and analytics to enhance healthcare delivery and decision-making processes.
The participants, through their dedication and newly acquired expertise, have developed a product that connects users with nearby public health workers, significantly optimizing healthcare response times.
The ten pioneering professionals from LAUTECH include: Mrs. Grace Ogunkunle, Mrs. Oluwafunmi Ojebode, Mrs. Olusola Ajimati, Mrs. Mark Oke, Mr. Olwale Falajiki, Mrs. Olajumoke Akanbi, Mr. Abiodun Abass Aiki, Mr. Sulaiman Salawu, Mrs. Adeola Adimula and Mr. Oluwaseun Bello
Their achievement was facilitated by the unwavering support of CycleBreeze’s team led by Mr. Tosin Aribi, alongside the company’s founder, Mr. Faith Olaniyi, and key consultants and members including Mr. Taiwo Gbadegesin, Dr. Chinonso Egemba, Mr. Hope Ajao, Ms. Dideoluwa Ayodele, and Ms. Dominic Itunu.
Mr. Faith Olaniyi, the founder of CycleBreeze, shared his vision for the program, “Data Drive 100 isn’t just about imparting knowledge; it’s about seeding a transformation in healthcare through data-driven innovation. Our participants have exemplified this by not only launching a vital health tech product but also contributing to a scholarly paper that underscores the importance of their work.”
The product, a direct application of the Dataclass software, exemplifies the practical benefits of integrating data analytics into public health. This product allows users to find the closest health care centre closest to users in Nigeria. They also collaborated and contributed to the writing of an international journal on the topic “Exploring Factors Affecting Mortality Rates: Using Dataclass Software to Correlate Annual Death Rates Per Live Birth”.
This paper’s groundbreaking analysis and insights into mortality trends provide invaluable guidance for policy and healthcare interventions The success of this cohort of this cohort serves as a beacon for the remaining cohorts and hospitals participating in the program, signifying the beginning of a new era in healthcare accessibility and quality.
The developed product is a testament to what can be achieved when technology meets healthcare with the right training and vision. By leveraging data analytics and geospatial mapping capabilities of Dataclass, the team has addressed a crucial need for improved access to healthcare services.
As CycleBreeze continues to propel its Data Drive 100 initiative, the healthcare landscape in Nigeria is poised for a significant transformation, driven by data, dedication, and the desire to make a tangible difference.
With the successful launch of the first cohort’s project, CycleBreeze’s Data Drive 100 is poised to continue its mission across nine other hospitals. The initiative is a vivid demonstration of CycleBreeze’s commitment to its mission of leveraging technology to create positive societal outcomes and its vision of building best-in
