Hey HN, I’m Etai, together with Andrew a co-founder of Secoda ( https://www.secoda.co ). Secoda is a collaborative workspace for data teams that makes it easy to share metadata, queries, charts and documentation with any employee. Companies store a growing amount of knowledge in BI tools, data warehouses, data pipelines, queries and documentation. Because these tools are not connected, it has become more difficult to…

Very cool. How much of this working effectively depends on a properly deployed dbt project?

Take my money! Now to assign someone to give it a whirl and hope it works.

Thanks so much! We're happy to help you or whoever would set it up and show you how other teams have been using the tool. Feel free to shot me an email at etai@secoda.co if you'd like any help along the way

Will do. Just saw that API access is gated to enterprise accounts so we may need your help.

Oneistox offers online cohort-based courses for designers, architects and engineers to advance their professional growth. Online learning by watching pre-recorded videos does not work for design and architecture. Learning design is an iterative process that happens through communication over drawings, sketches, screen visual…

How do you pronounce your name?

Such an important problem - I really hope you become the new standard for companies' data. The number of times I've seen complex, undocumented queries...

Hi there, I'm the CTO of Secoda so happy to answer your question. Our dbt integration works with dbt cloud, and are working on making it compatible with dbt core as well. What we'll pull from dbt via their API is the metadata associated with the models, docs, and, jobs. We have a free version of the platform, so you can sign up and test it out if you'd like to see what that information looks like in Secoda.

We have pre-built integrations with many popular data tools (Snowflake, dbt, Tableau, etc.) that can be setup in less than 5 minutes. If those don't fit your needs then we can definitely setup some time to discuss the API.

Thanks, we hope so too! At Secoda, we really want to make data less intimidating for anyone in the organization to explore and use. When the whole company can use data to help inform their decisions it really does make a big difference.

Hi there! We are Orestis and Urs from Zeit Medical ( https://www.zeitmedical.com ). We enable fast stroke detection at home. 90% of strokes go untreated due to stroke recognition delays. Many patients live in fear that a stroke might happen and go unnoticed for hours, particularly if they are asleep when it starts. Stroke is currently impossible to detect based on symptoms. Unlike a heart attack, there is no distinct…

How do outcomes for stroke patients vary based on treatment?

Time to treatment is the most important factor in defining stroke treatment outcomes. Stroke outcomes are quantified at 90d post event with a metric called Modified Rankin Scale. The treatment strategy is defined based on the type, location, and severity. The two options we have for ischemic strokes (i.e.85% of all strokes) are TPA (clotbusting medication) and thrombectomy (catheter based mechanical removal of the clot). Each of the them has its advantages and disadvantages but the common denominator is that the earlier the patient arrives in the hospital, the more efficacious they are.

How does the tagging feature work? Is it at the table and column level?

Is there anyway to put this technology on my wrist on into a t-shirt, or even implant? I like the idea I have higher risk factors for stroke, but I'm not too keen on wearing a headband nightly.

Thank you for the comment!

We have a vision to make future versions of our technology that will be even more inconspicuous. We also have IP on implantable versions of this. For people that live with stroke risk, our current form factor is the first step towards providing some peace of mind :)
