Better information,
better decisions
Cornea is a data service for disaster planning, response, & recovery
We enable the lessons learned on an incident
to be carried forward & applied to the next
and the next
We curate the data you need, when you need it.
First responders and incident managers are inundated with technology and data. However, the data is not always useful. It often exists in organizational silos or incompatible formats.
Cornea is focused on solving this problem because good data provides a foundation for safety, effectiveness, learning, and improving.

FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY
while reducing cognitive load for decision-makers.
Our field teams work on-site, alongside decision-makers, response planners and administrators to proactively connect and compare critical datasets from multiple sources in real-time.
We partner with you to supplement your expert judgement with relevant, high-quality, and timely data to answer your important questions.
Focus on making decisions, not interpreting data.
For years, those in charge have had to make precise decisions based on unreliable data provided by unqualified sources.
Feedback drives continuous improvement:
Cornea aggregates data, knowledge, & experience
A plan is established; success is defined
Real-time data is compared to the plan
Decisions are made & actions are taken
Results are measured & new lessons learned
The plan is refined & the system improved
Relevance
Too much data becomes too much noise and distracts. Cornea provides relevant data for each user, customized to the decisions they face.
Quality
Good decisions require accurate data. By improving data quality, Cornea enables better time-sensitive decisions to be made.
