Supporting Public Health with a Network Science Approach
Many popular community health improvement frameworks use a systems approach to address upstream determinants of health like housing, food security, transportation, and financial equity. Working with partners in these domains, one traditionally considered beyond the realm of public health, is now a cornerstone of collaborative community health programming. We use network science tools and methodologies to help public health leaders visualize their networks, demonstrate shared impact, and create data-driven strategies for quality improvement in the future.

Population Health Partnerships
Here are some of our recent partnerships in Public and Population Health.
Create a data-driven for managing your community partner relationships
Public health professionals are nearly all expected to build and manage cross-sector partnerships to achieve shared goals. However, there is a lack of tools available to provide real-time data to guide your partnership-building strategy. We use our network science expertise and tools like social network analysis to visualize networks and relationships, demonstrate impact and identify ways to strengthen your network to achieve better outcomes.
