Enter the next level

After a turbulent spring, it is finally time to write about some of the new features of Sympathy for Data and the updates in the ecosystem we made earlier in 2020. Earlier this year, we released Sympathy for Data 2.0.0 which was the first version with two different editions, an open-source and an enterprise edition. In this blog post, we will follow up on some of the most exciting changes introduced in version 2.0.0 and the recently released version 2.1.0.

In the last months, Sweden has continued to see an increase in the number of cases and the number of deaths due to COVID-19. One issue that has become apparent in this time is the lack of information from some government agencies in Sweden in other languages than Swedish and English. This puts many in a vulnerable position and at an informational disadvantage that could be costly for everyone in Sweden. A presentation by Folkhälsomyndigheten last week confirmed that the proportion of cases among Sweden’s foreign-born population is much higher than their proportion of Sweden’s population.

As researches around the world rush to gain as much information and knowledge about the new Covid-19 virus as possible, it is of high importance to be able to convey any new findings to politicians, experts, and the public in general. This task may sound simple enough, but with lacking visualization techniques and a very high speed in the data flow, the important information could easily get lost. In this blog post you can read about some updates in the Data Science field concerning Covid-19.

The task of calibration is often time consuming, complex, and requires a good understanding of your system and a systematic workflow. We have noticed that some students, unfortunately, are anxious of control systems due to the endless hours spent on calibrating hardware in labs. The main issue often lies in the time it takes to try multiple sets of parameters. To address this problem, we have developed an application to aid calibration on hardware by enabling real-time calibration. In this post, we will describe the concept and how to use it. 

With the Covid-19 virus on the rise in multiple countries around the world, authorities are battling to control its spread and minimize human loss. In a globally connected world, this is an extremely complex problem.
