Case Study 2: Big Data and Machine Learning for Public Health Challenges
As part of a Broad Agency Announcement contract award and a separate U01 Cooperative Agreement, S-3 Research is building big data and digital health solutions to better understand and address topics associated with disease prevention and treatment access.
Our data science and research services for this project include multi-platform social listening, qualitative focus groups, statistical and geospatial analysis, and digital tool co-ideation and testing
Case Study 3: Map-based Solutions to Tackle the Opioid Crisis
The opioid crisis has presented challenges to improving minority health and eliminating health disparities. As part of a funded SBIR Phase I from NIDA (1R43DA057708-01), S-3 developed web hosted map technologies that can identify where substance use disorder treatment is needed the most and where burden is high.
Map-based tools also have other benefits to advance public health. This includes map tools we have developed to track compliance of tobacco and cannabis sellers, a risk map identifying communities that have a higher burden of substance use and other risks (e.g., suicide, crime, etc.), and building predictive models to anticipate where these resources are needed to address them.
