The smart use of data to transform the Brazilian public health system
We are a non-profit organization working to leverage the smart use of data and technology to enhance the Brazilian public health system.
We want to make the Brazilian government funded public health system the best in the world. We believe in the smart use of data and technology as a way to pursue this goal. We work so that all public health professionals have access to the information and tools they need to act in a resolute and preventive way.
To make this happen, we team up with healthcare professionals and local government officials to create freely available data-driven solutions that strengthen and facilitate the collection and use of data to inform government action. This way, we support the improvement of SUS’s primary healthcare and mental health care services.
