We're an interdisciplinary team of researchers, designers, engineers, and data scientists with deep experience in the public health data and digital services space.
Our goal is to enable public health leaders with the tools and expertise they need to build flexible, modern, and performant data systems.
At Skylight, our public health technologists combine a human-centered, research-based approach with lean and agile principles and deep public health data expertise to deliver exceptional user experiences and enduring software solutions.
We'll perform an analysis of your current data systems, from hosting to end-user experience. Through this analysis, you can learn how your users interact with every system and discover opportunities to accelerate the adoption of modern digital and data practices.
We'll design a strategy to meet your data modernization goals and maximize your dollars and time. You can use this strategy to find out how to improve your organization's systems, processes, and technical capabilities.
We'll use an agile, user-centered product development approach to develop custom software solutions. Our flexible, sustainable software tools will help solve your jurisdiction's data challenges and modernize your data workflows.
We'll partner directly with your team to build their technical capacity through pairing, shadowing, and regular product demonstrations. Through this tailored support and training, our experts can develop your team’s internal competencies.
As a contractor to CDC and the Office of Public Health Data, Surveillance, and Technology (OPHDST), we're behind some high priority improvements and innovations that directly benefit public health authorities at all levels of government, including SimpleReport and Data Integration Building Blocks.
We've helped multiple public health partners improve the way that they
collect, process, and share data
so
they can
more easily:
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
A free tool that makes it easy for non-traditional and under-resourced disease testing sites to record results for diagnostic tests and quickly report data to public health departments.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
An open-source, modular set of tools for collecting, processing, and analyzing public health data that can be combined to solve the bespoke data needs of public health department’s as part of a modern public health data system.
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
To help medical providers and the public navigate telehealth information and resources during the COVID-19 public health emergency and beyond, we launched a site to do just that.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
A prototype data ingestion pipeline that increases data processing speed, automates manual processes, and enables public health agencies to better analyze data and share findings to drive timely public health action and decision-making.
Veterans Affairs
A knowledge management platform for improving how the Veterans Affairs delivers healthcare to veterans through the dissemination of promising clinical and administrative innovations.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
Helping CMCS unlock the value of its Medicaid and CHIP datasets through the adoption of modern digital and data practices.
