A journey that became an institution

Instituto Vida Preventiva was created to take this work into the field of research. It is a non-profit civil association dedicated to research, development and innovation in health, with a focus on equity and measurable social impact.

Health begins before the hospital. That is why the institute starts from a question, not a promise: under what conditions does information produced outside the consulting room become useful to those who provide care and to those who receive it.

The research follows a logic: data, risk identification, useful information, timely intervention, continuity of care and outcome measurement. Each step is an object of investigation, and none is presented as a result before it is measured. Wearables, sensors, artificial intelligence and digital systems are means of this research, not the institute's identity.

Who we seek to cooperate with

The institute seeks cooperation with other institutions, always through formal agreements and preserving its autonomy and financial separation:

  • Universities and research institutions: to design and conduct studies with a described method, ethics approval and publication of results.
  • Public agencies and SUS (Brazil's Unified Health System): to study integration with public health information systems and support public policies of shared interest.
  • Hospitals and health services: to develop studies and technical cooperation related to the institute's purposes, observing the ethical and regulatory requirements applicable to each project.
  • Companies: through formally independent contracts or partnerships, tied to the institute's purposes, with no equity stake in any company.
  • Civil society organizations and national and international bodies: to combine knowledge and broaden the reach of health research and education.

If your institution is interested in scientific or technical cooperation, write to the institute.
