We help cities tackle cardiovascular disease and advance health equity through data and AI.

About us

The Novartis Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Switzerland. For over 40 years, we have helped improve the health of underserved populations, initially supporting disease elimination strategies in areas such as leprosy and malaria. Now, we help cities tackle the burning health issues of our time, cardiovascular disease and health inequity. Cardiovascular disease takes almost 18 million lives each year, and its emergence as a key risk factor for COVID-19 complications brings added urgency to addressing it at the population level. We take a population health approach, which means widening the lens from a narrow focus on healthcare delivery to a panoramic vision of improving health in the population at large, ensuring access to healthy lives for all. Our population health approach brings together disconnected data to create insights that help authorities understand the root causes of unequal health outcomes and find the best ways and best partners to remediate those. This empowers governments to re-engineer reactive care systems into human-centered health systems that keep people healthy. See our community guidelines: https://bit.ly/35ExptC
