Dialog Enterprise Partners with Unacast in the Fight Against Dengue Fever and COVID-19

In its efforts to generate lifesaving insights, Dialog Enterprise, the corporate solutions arm of Dialog Axiata PLC, has partnered with Unacast, a global location data and analytics firm. Dialog Enterprise will use Unacast’s proprietary Unacast Turbine Platform-as-a-Service to power insights on human mobility, which will be used to understand how mobility impacts the spread of dengue fever and COVID-19.

The Unacast Turbine platform enables users to transform raw location data into high-quality, privacy friendly aggregated location insights. Dialog Enterprise is set to release a suite of data insight products, built on top of Unacast’s Turbine engine, in the coming months and years. Dialog Enterprise and Unacast have identified use cases within health care, retail site selection, location profiling and road development as the first focus areas. The initial focus will be to help one of the world’s most renowned research institutions, John Hopkins University, in the fight against dengue fever and COVID-19 in Sri Lanka.
