World Suicide Prevention Day, observed on September 10, aims to raise awareness about the global suicide crisis, with over 700,000 deaths annually. The theme for 2024-2026, "Changing the Narrative on Suicide", encourages open conversations about mental health to reduce stigma and promote prevention. The goal is to foster supportive environments where mental health is openly discussed, and policies prioritize access to care. Suicide is often linked to relationship issues, financial difficulties, mental health disorders, and academic pressures, especially in youth. Prevention efforts target vulnerable groups, such as school-aged children, urging parents and communities to provide emotional support and understanding.

September is suicide prevention month. We have a role for all of us to play when it comes to curbing the suicide menace. Hoping that we'll be able to share a few insights. #Dataanalytics

How has your experience been when it comes to Data Roles.

I had a discussion the other day with a few of my colleagues and mates in the data space after noticing a rise in several complaints about employers or companies advertising for very different data roles and grouping them as alternatives. This sparked me to address this issue, in the best way I could by defining the ideal data architecture in an organization, and the different roles needed under each category.

Milestones! Five months into our journey at Afiadata Kenya, each step has been an important learning lesson. 1. I'm proud to have a dedicated team empowered to shape the future of healthcare data handling through their tireless work. 2. Cheers to the challenges we tackle, new opportunities and invaluable networks we form. 3. As part of our open-source contribution and community drive, we welcome you to our Slack Community and Socials Afiadata Kenya. 4. Introducing our data clinic, where we explore the intricacies of handling healthcare data: data mining, data modeling, and data visualization. Excited about this next phase!

We can think of coroutines as a special function that can pause its execution, yield control back to the caller (method), and resume where it left off. They feature highly in asynchronous programming in Python. We would say once you understand them, they do come in handy in the organization of tasks, especially in data engineering where your network of tasks needs to be executed in a sequential and timely fashion.

Lean-data in organizations.
Pharmacy || Data Science || Machine Learning || Health tech and Innovation || Co founder - Afiadata Kenya
As an organization, you simply cannot leverage the value of data for your business without managing your metadata. What type of metadata are we talking about? Technical, business, operational and social metadata. Many organizations focus on one or two of these most times, but never all. Here’s how I’d approach it: 1. Make data findable - Determine worthwhile data sources of your operational and information processes. 2. Understand the data- add descriptions and definitions. I should be able to tell the most important data objects and key attributes by just looking at it. 3. Know who is responsible for the data - This is more of data governance. 4. Document data logistics so you can be able to follow the source and end users of the data. In short, create a data pipeline and architecture. Without this, you’re creating a recipe for confusion, whenever changes need to be made or are made on one end of the flow. 5. Data quality- The more the quality, the higher the trust to use the data without hesitation in all dependent processes. You realize all these roles are dependent on a multitalented team consisting of data architects(sometimes serve as data engineers too), Data Engineers, Data Scientists, data analysts. The communication, both upstream and downstream should be in tandem. We can expound about the types of metadata in a longer post including their many various examples.
