Overview
The Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) required an AI-powered data visualization platform to analyze and respond to COVID-19βs impact on education. Decision-makers needed a centralized tool to track student wellness, learning loss, and community health trends, ensuring data-driven resource allocation.
IHI developed a geospatial dashboard powered by AI and predictive analytics, enabling real-time decision-making for school districts and statewide education policymakers.
β
Challenge
LACOE faced critical challenges in addressing the COVID-19 crisis:
- Fragmented Data Sources: Information on student wellness, school closures, and pandemic trends was scattered across multiple agencies and databases.
- Lack of Real-Time Decision Insights: Educators lacked AI-driven forecasting models to predict learning loss, attendance trends, and student support needs.
- Inefficiencies in Resource Allocation: Without a centralized analytics dashboard, funding and interventions were not strategically distributed.β
- Geospatial Blind Spots: Decision-makers needed GIS-integrated insights to map infection rates and educational disruption by region.
