Our team

Useful Data is a small team led by Tim Roberton, with members who specialise in health systems, statistical modelling, and software engineering, and experience spanning research and practice.

We scale our team to fit each project, from short-term modelling to the creation and deployment of multi-country platforms.

Our goal is to build easy-to-use tools that put rigorous analysis in the hands of health decision-makers.
