Co-Founder, CTO, Truro Analytics
Jaideep Srivastava is the Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Truro Analytics. He is responsible for Truro’s novel LoMA technology that can predict whether a dental patient will keep their future appointment, with a very high degree of accuracy. This prediction can be used in a number of ways including decisions of which slots to double book, which patients to give a reminder call, who to use for fitting into a freed-up slot at the last minute, and how to do capacity planning as well as resources scheduling. In essence, it is an accurate look into future demand, based on cutting edge techniques from human behavior modeling and machine learning.
