Epidemiology, Broadly Speaking
Mission Statement
At Broadly Epi we believe every public health challenge from infectious disease outbreaks to chronic disease inequities deserves clear thinking, smart tools and real human connection.
We deliver scalable public-health software solutions, data analytics and interactive training for both agencies and communities. Whether you’re a health department, a nonprofit community organisation or a grassroots initiative, we’ll support you in turning your data into insight, your technology into action and your strategy into stronger outcomes.
Our mission is to bring together cutting-edge epidemiology, advanced AI/ML methods and a culture that enshrines humility, cooperation and excellence so that local communities and regional agencies alike can detect threats, respond faster and build lasting resilience. We are committed to providing the tools, training and resources that drive measurable improvements in population health, health equity, public-health intelligence, and community-centred outcomes.
Broadly Epi is here to help you build healthier systems, better inform decisions and connect communities with the data they are so often divorced from. Every person, every neighborhood and every organization deserves the chance to thrive, especially in these uniquely challenging times.
