Why Pathcheck

Because waiting for the next pandemic is not an option!

In a world of rapid medical and technical advances, applied research is not being implemented fast enough to improve public health and the unmet needs of underserved communities by the for-profit sector.

Furthermore, the healthcare industry is now littered with applications that were designed to send exposure notifications, track symptoms and ease the burden of contact tracing. Many of these applications are being decommissioned or forgotten as reactionary tools imposed upon the public explicitly for COVID-19.

Despite lessons learned, corporate memory between each health crises is lost with every change of leadership and proactive measures are quickly abandoned once a crisis has ended. Even in well-funded agencies, most public health staff are not trained in the latest technologies and tools available to them, which creates gaps in knowledge that contributes to the reactionary deployment of innovations that could have otherwise been in place ahead of time to prevent a health crisis.

The PathCheck Foundation will ensure that lessons learned from COVID-19 are applied and that information is not lost between pandemics. We will continue building robust, trustworthy, everyday systems that can be scaled quickly to provide reliable public health data.
