During the COVID-19 pandemic, understanding population mobility became essential for effective governance.
A Tool for Lockdown Calibration
The Mobility Index was designed as a strategic tool for national and provincial governments to calibrate lockdown measures.
Rather than relying on static rules, governments could observe real mobility behavior and adjust restrictions dynamically.
Balancing Health and Economic Activity
Using this index, policymakers were able to:
- Reduce contagion risks
- Gradually reactivate economic activities
- Monitor compliance across regions
- Compare mobility trends over time
This data-driven approach helped strike a balance between public health protection and economic recovery.
Collaboration with Telefónica
The project was developed in collaboration with Telefónica, one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world.
By leveraging large-scale, anonymized mobility data, we transformed raw signals into a clear, actionable indicator suitable for high-level decision-making.
Data Science in Service of Society
The Mobility Index demonstrates how AI and data analytics can directly support governments during critical moments.
At AI-Sunrise, we build tools that turn complex data into practical insight for real-world impact.
