Denodo University Challenge: Data Shoe Team Wins With Life Expectancy Improvement Solution

KUALA LUMPUR, March 5 (Bernama) -- Denodo, a leader in data management, announced the winner of the latest Denodo University Challenge, Data for Social Change: Improve Life Expectancy.

In a statement, Denodo said the award went to the Data Shoe team from Dauphine University in Paris, France, composed of Dounia Bouloudene, Nassim Fatmi, and Youcef Azouaoui.

Their solution focused on improving life expectancy by addressing critical factors such as healthcare access, air pollution, and political stability. The team used the Denodo Platform to integrate diverse data sources, analyse them using reporting tools, and present their findings through clear, accessible visuals. 

Additionally, the Universidade da A Coruña in Spain also received recognition for contributing the most teams to this  competition.

Denodo chief technology officer, Alberto Pan praised the team's professionalism, highlighting how the Denodo Platform enabled them to quickly develop a robust solution with its logical data management capabilities and low-code/no-code tools.

The Denodo Academic Program prepares students through virtual, self-paced training modules, live workshops, and a free version of the Denodo Platform. In this challenge, students were tasked with using data analytics to improve environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices and ultimately life expectancy.

Data Shoe’s winning solution emphasised the importance of public policies aimed at healthcare improvement, air pollution reduction, and political stability in driving social progress and better global quality of life.

The team's use of the Denodo Design Studio and Microsoft Power BI effectively showcased their analytical process and conclusions.
