2014年大数据行业最顶尖的人才有哪些？《财富》选出20位明星

    Jawbone数据副总裁莫妮卡•罗加蒂

    在Jawbone公司，莫妮卡•罗加蒂有两个职责。首先是弄清楚该公司的Up智能腕表收集的数据都代表了什么。其次，构建以智能方式使用这些数据的新产品。罗加蒂表示：“我们发现了关于我们如何睡觉、活动和进食的许多新的信息，它们都是之前无法发现的。以前我们只能对100个人进行睡眠研究，但是现在我们可以研究10万个人的睡眠信息。”也就是说，罗加蒂和她的团队能够了解人们为什么会失眠。比如华盛顿的居民可能会因为一次总统就职典礼而兴奋难眠；伊斯坦布尔的居民可能会因为中东爆发的抗议而睡不着觉；笃信天主教的罗德岛居民可能因为教皇的辞职而失眠——然后，该公司可以把这些信息反馈到Up智能腕表上，并调整他们的行为。罗加蒂指出：“我们充分地利用了这些数据反映出的见解，并且利用它们来鼓励人们保持最佳水平。”——Andrew Nusca

    Monica Rogati, Vice President of Data, Jawbone

    At Jawbone, Monica Rogati has two jobs. First, make sense of the data created by Up, the San Francisco accessory company’s wearable, sensor-laden wristband. Second, build new things that use that data in smart ways. “We uncover all sorts of interesting things about how we sleep, move, and eat that you weren’t able to find before,” she says. “We used to have sleep studies with 100 people; now we can study 100,000 people.” Which means Rogati and her team can see what people literally lose sleep over—for Washington, D.C. residents, a presidential inauguration; for Istanbul residents, ongoing protests in the Middle East; for ultra-Catholic Providence, Rhode Island, the Pope’s resignation in February 2013—then feed that knowledge back into the Up to nudge wearers into adjusting their behavior. “We’re taking all kinds of insights in the data and using those to encourage people to be at their best,” she says. —Andrew Nusca
