Moving ahead with smart city goals necessitates adoption of data analytics, here’s why!

The Government of India has been doing its best to boost smart city initiatives, as a part of which, a contest – Smart Cities Mission project, was held among all the states recently. While Uttar Pradesh emerged as the top performer, Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu followed closely on its heels.

At a time when the entire world is plagued with COVID-19 and a slew of environmental problems, propelling smart city initiatives has become the need of the hour. Data analytics is one such new-age technology that can help in boosting the same.

In our bid to contribute to the nation’s smart city initiative, we, at WGD Analytics, have also been developing several analytical tools.

The activities aimed towards making a city ‘smart’ are innumerable. However, in today’s times, transportation, healthcare management and citizens’ security and safety are among the most crucial. In this light, the solutions offered by WGD Analytics predominantly cater to the critical infrastructure sector.

For instance, a well-managed urban mobility is one wherein citizens can travel with ease and convenience. This can only be possible if they have access to all the information regarding traffic conditions, parking spots, potential dangers ahead, etc. This is where the role of data analytics comes into play! By analysing the already existing data of our clients in critical infrastructure sector, analytics solutions like the one developed by WGD Analytics can detect the safest route passengers can take, and so on.

Similarly, data analytics plays an equally important role in streamlining operations across healthcare organisations as well. The saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is extremely relevant when it comes to healthcare. With that said, we have been striving our best to deliver best possible solutions, so healthcare professionals are easily able to detect any underlying conditions in patients early on. However, as technology keeps on advancing, the innate concerns pertaining to security and privacy keep on increasing. Taking this into consideration, at WGD Analytics, we analyse only those data that our clients entrust us with, all the while ensuring complete confidentiality and privacy,
