About the company:
Predina is a venture funded UK based company using machine learning for good. We use machine learning to dynamically predict and prevent the risk of road accidents based on spatio-temporal information.
Our technology can be applied to save the lives of cyclists, car drivers and commercial fleet drivers.
We have won a number of awards including one of hottest AI startups to watch and more recently was selected by Google for their Machine Learning for Good programme.
We have a current team of 5 core people of which 4 are technical. They include a senior iOS Developer and 2 Machine Learning engineers from leading institutions such as Imperial College and ETH with multi disciplinary backgrounds including Atmospheric Physics, Mathematical Modelling and spatio-temporal statistics for disease mapping and detection.
The technology has been validated by a customer and in the next stage of our commercialisation.
Current state of technology:
Version 1.0 of our product is live and being used, including an API solution for our customers to use and an iOS application which demonstrates the technology.
