The healthcare coalition will bring together healthcare organizations, technology firms, academia and startups to coordinate pandemic response efforts using data and analytics.
By pooling expertise, the COVID-19 Healthcare Coalition aims to flatten the pandemic’s curve to preserve the healthcare delivery system targeting three main areas:
1. Working to understand the effectiveness of social distancing and other state-level measures to slow the spread of COVID-19
2. Better identifying individuals who need diagnostic tests
3. Aiding America’s healthcare delivery system, focusing on staff, capacity and supplies
“With top experts and industry leaders sharing plans and resources – and working collaboratively – we can deploy resources more effectively and offer better situational awareness to those at the front lines,” the coalition wrote on its website.

- Amazon
- Arcadia.io
