Inspiration

We see the challenge as a problem that companies have to get the data they need for their business goals, so we aim to deliver insights about user experience and new potential business areas. We aim to do this while empowering our user base to manage their data access and get rewarded in the process, something rarely applied today.

What it does

It converts data to the benefit of both companies and individuals. Empower users in their data usage.

How we built it

We worked together to build an example workflow of this solution, so we can demonstrate how users and businesses can both earn from the technology. We did some mockup and then coded the demo solution using web based technologies.

Challenges we ran into

How to keep privacy in the pipeline. We must define processes to keep our users private so their identity is protected when providing access to these insights to third party business customers.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Working on different timezones and parts of the globe. This is a multidisciplinary team of tech people advocates.

What we learned

To work together as a distributed team no matter the adversities. We planned every phase of this solution carefully to have a impactful pitch for the jury and the rest of our colleagues hackers!

What's next for DataGain

We want to integrate voice commands for better user experience and extra data gathering for this app. This will require to be allowed by the customers and they could also be rewarded by sharing this kind of data. Our data model is simple, we gather and store anonymous data that provides rewards to our customers, then we sell this data in bulk or provide access as reports in an anonymously way so user privacy is maintained.
