Founded in 2019, Impulso first worked with cities in areas such as health, education and social welfare to solve a recurrent problem: massive databases are generated in the provision of public services, but it too often remains unused despite its potential to guide critical policy.
When the Covid-19 pandemic started, local governments focused all efforts to manage the effects of the sanitary crisis. Given the scenario, we decided to focus our work on public health, in a way to help the government officials in their response to the pandemic.
As we understood the real needs Brazilian municipalities faced when it came to public health during the pandemic, in 2021, we expanded our range of work with the development of digital solutions for public officials from SUS within two areas: Primary Healthcare and Mental Healthcare.
We want to make sure that no one in Brazil suffers or loses their life for issues that effective public policies could have avoided. We work supporting local governments so that all public health care workers have access to the information they need to act in a preventive and resolutive way. To make this possible, we offer freely-available data-driven solutions that facilitate the decision-making turning high-quality data into action.
We want to make change for the good in the life of people through public policy: that is our definition of success. And we know this is not easy. From understanding each detail of a program to delivering the proper solutions, we prioritize the urgent challenges and make all the effort to deliver high-quality services.
We break big problems down into tasks that are feasible with practical solutions and great impact. We use data and technology to make our solutions accessible for as many people as possible.
We encourage people to ask questions because we believe questions lead to solutions. Meanwhile, we act: we don’t wait for all the answers to come in order to act, because some answers come with action.
We have a culture that lies on feedback to make the best from our collaborative work. We dedicate ourselves to supporting the ones among us who need help; We carefully listen to what each one has to say; We value the opinions and emotions of the ones around us;
We make our community strong and diverse because big challenges demand the best teams with diversified points of view. We invest time in hiring the most talented and grittiest people and we invest in their development.
