We are proud to sponsor and present at the Global Digital Health Forum (GDHF), an annual convening of the leading innovators, implementers, and investors advancing digital and data-driven initiatives to improve health systems, equity, and outcomes worldwide.
Abt is a translation fund sponsor to encourage greater accessibility for different audiences.
Our global digital health experts are participating in presentations covering topics such as digital literacy and equity, sustainability of video-enabled treatment for TB, improving community health delivery via digital tools, and cross-border interoperability of electronic medical records, among other topics.
We’re an international organization that partners to deliver better data, insights to action, and localized solutions to facilitate person-centered care.
Committed to country-led, sustainable solutions that reflect global best practices, Abt pairs our content and subject matter expertise with digital and technology solutions to ensure that clients have the right data, resulting insights, and recommendations to inform their decision making. Our technical capabilities span across critical public health areas, including infectious disease prevention and control, emergency preparedness, chronic disease prevention, health promotion, telehealth, maternal and child health, and behavioral health.
We capture high-quality data from a range of sources and use rigorous methods to analyze, communicate, and contextualize data. Data capture involves collecting the right data in a usable format in a timely manner. We also support our clients in modernizing their data systems to unlock the full potential of the data they collect every day. Our statisticians, economists, and computer and data scientists work with subject matter experts to craft solutions and measure impact using an equity lens. We devise sampling designs for surveys and observational studies and design clinical trials—all with an eye toward accuracy, equity, and agility.
At Abt, we have used data and emerging technology to tackle the world’s toughest challenges since our founding. And it remains the heart of what we do today.
