How do we do it?

Data Collection

We leverage local talents as data collectors, and our proprietary data collection method: User-Perceived Value (UPV) to capture the needs, preferences and resources of local community members. We developed the method during 7-years of research at the University of Cambridge. It uses images and an intuitive, game-like survey to minimise biases and to allow scale.

Data Analysis

We Use AI to make sense of unstructured and qualitative data so it becomes quantifiable and comparable. We can process large volumes of qualitative and quantitative data faster than any alternative using Natural Language Processing (NLP) Data Analysis algorithms that we developed. Through our cost-effective data analysis we help organisations benefit from new data or to better utilise the data they already collect.

Data Management

You do not need to be a data expert to benefit from the power of data. Effortlessly access the most relevant data through a customised and interactive online platform. Easily share selected insights with other team members and work collaboratively on reports.

What makes us unique?

AI-Powered qualitative
data analysis

Save time and effort and get fast insights from any qualitative data source. Rural Senses platform can connect to existing data flows such as interviews, social media, call centres and more. Data can be captured in text or voice forms.

Multi-Language support - specialising in local dialects

One of the main challenges working with rural and remote communities is the language barrier. At Rural Senses we solve this with inbuilt translation from local dialects to English. We do that with our unique method of decentralised translation - empowering local talents to translate data on our platform. This way we also create local employment opportunities in low income communities.
