Equitable Health Infrastructures
Designing infrastructures that reduce structural inequalities instead of reproducing them.
Systemic Problem
Many health systems reproduce inequalities not by accident, but by design. Access to care, access to information, access to decision-making, and access to innovation are unevenly distributed across populations. Digital infrastructures often amplify these dynamics instead of correcting them. Inequalities are rarely caused by a single barrier. They emerge from the interaction of fragmented systems, opaque governance, misaligned incentives, and the absence of accountability mechanisms.
Our Approach
We treat infrastructure as a political and organizational object, not only as a technical one. We design systems that make inequalities visible, governable, and correctable.
What We Build
Federated data spaces, equity-aware decision-support systems, public-interest digital twins, participatory observatories, and interoperability standards.
Related Initiatives
BeeMyBlood
Access to safe, compatible blood products is not only a clinical issue; it is an infrastructural and governance problem.
SwissNeuroRehab
Neurorehabilitation pathways are fragmented across institutions, cantons, and disciplines.
EMMA
Mobility barriers strongly shape access to care, employment, and social participation, yet remain poorly integrated into health system design.
EDITSCD
Gene therapy and genome editing approaches for sickle cell disease require rigorous evaluation frameworks that go beyond clinical efficacy to assess equity, access, and long-term governance.
Convivial Infrastructures
Most digital infrastructures increase dependency rather than autonomy.
Stakeholders
Hospitals, public administrations, patient organizations, regulators.
How We Evaluate
We combine quantitative indicators with qualitative, participatory evaluation. We assess not only outcomes but also governance processes and structural change.
Collaboration
We collaborate with institutions willing to redesign infrastructures, not only optimize tools.
