Brazil digital health collaboration

Entities: Celso Eduardo Lins de Oliveira · Julio César Leal Pereira · Matilde Scaramucci · Universidade de São Paulo (USP) · Secretaria de Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (SETEC)

Overview

In 2026 the Salvador Health Situation Room welcomed U.S. researcher Julio César Leal Pereira. The visit—held on 27 April and reported in July—focused on sharing digital‑health practices, epidemiological data analysis, and a tour of the municipal platform that consolidates health‑system indicators for evidence‑based decisions. Pereira praised the platform’s impact on vulnerable groups, while Sala manager Jessidenes Leal noted that the exchange deepens international scientific cooperation and expands partnerships with Brazilian and foreign universities.

The University of São Paulo’s Faculty of Public Health announced the I International Congress on Inequalities and Digital Technologies (31 July–1 August 2026), set to discuss health‑digital and ethnic‑racial relations, platform‑based inequities, AI impacts, anti‑racist educational technology, and digital rights, and to draft policy recommendations for Brazilian ministries.

Together, these developments underscore Brazil’s growing emphasis on leveraging digital tools for public‑health governance while confronting the equity challenges such technologies raise.
