About Us

We believe that better technology saves lives.

Public Health IT (PHIT) is the product of Seagan, Inc., a market research firm built by passionate public health professionals. We have seen firsthand what happens when the systems designed to protect communities fall short, and what becomes possible when they don’t. Our work sits at the intersection of public health and information technology (IT), and we take that responsibility seriously.

Our Mission

Public health can only reach its full potential when the IT systems supporting it are strong, transparent, and built on shared knowledge. These systems are unlike any other. They operate under the weight of local law, cover entire populations, and depend on mandated data flows that affect every person in a community. Getting them right matters enormously. Getting them wrong costs lives.

That’s why we exist.

What We Do

We create platforms where public health technology professionals can tell their stories, the wins, the hard lessons, and everything in between. We believe the most valuable source of insight into public health IT isn’t an algorithm; it’s the humans who work inside these systems every day. We are built to capture that knowledge, preserve it, and make it useful.

We are also committed to public transparency. Communities deserve to understand the systems built to protect them: who owns them, what data the law requires to be collected, how that data flows, and what public health agencies do with it.

Our Vision

Global public health is held back by a lack of visibility and data sharing. A proven solution deployed in one city or country rarely finds its way to the places that need it most, not because it doesn't exist, but because no one knows it's there. The field has no shared memory. There is no common place where what works gets recorded, verified, and passed on.

We’re changing that.

We are building a Global Catalog for Public Health IT (PHIT), a living directory and knowledge-sharing network where public health entities contribute what they know and, in return, gain access to what everyone else is doing. They’ll get to see what’s deployed where, learn what works, and bring proven solutions to more places.

Our Promise

Better tech. Better health. Worldwide.

We are builders of the infrastructure that connects public health IT globally. Every story shared, every system cataloged, and every insight exchanged moves us closer to a world where no community is left behind because the technology protecting it wasn’t good enough.
