Mezuri ref: summary fields-title *in te vullen*In 2018, Kunlabora and Buurtwerk 't Lampeke started building the Mezuri tool with the idea of making the impact of social work tangible, doing this by combining strong domain knowledge, digital technologies and artificial intelligence.
Mezuri is a modern, user-friendly tool that measures and visualises impact for social workers and vulnerable people. Social workers register data on coaching trajectories using a number of easy templates, and this data is then structured in a timeline. It can be safely shared among social workers working on the same trajectory. Using techniques like natural language processing, sentiment analysis and word analysis, Mezuri unlocks insights based on the stories and experiences of people.
Our prototype piqued the city's interest. As a result, Kunlabora and the city of Leuven, competed together in the '2019 Smart in the City prize' competition from of the Flemish government. We won the contest: it enabled us to improve & extend Mezuri and roll it out to social organisations in Leuven.
