Smarter data
Applied AI
Turning research data into automated, intelligent workflows.
Overview
We apply machine learning and automation to the everyday problems of a research data unit — reading forms, flagging anomalies and removing manual steps from the data pipeline.
Our approach is pragmatic: tools that earn their place by making capture faster and quality checks more consistent, always with human oversight.
What we do
odkformgen (ODK form generator)
Generates structured ODK forms directly from a study's paper or draft CRFs — shrinking a process that used to take around six weeks to a matter of minutes.
MawuMed AI

Mawu a za Chipatala dictionary (PDF)Transcription & Translation AI
Used by our Transcription & Translation team to turn recorded interviews and consultations into text, combining language models with speech-recognition models.
Dynamic dashboards
