Improving public health outcomes with better data

Problem

Public Health officials rely largely on federal data sets and coarse dashboarding tools. The vast majority do not have access to estimates that match the problems they’re trying to solve.

Solution

Apriqot produces population health estimates that are dynamic, ready-on-demand, and integrable with local data: a community magnifying glass that allows practitioners to "see" the conditions and social factors that drive inequities and outcomes, allowing them to create population health policies and interventions at the appropriate sub-community, geography, and dosage.
