The business model for the digital solution

Globant´s response to COVID-19 was to intensify collaboration and help the society. Considering this, they decided to co-create feasible solutions with a high impact to provide them for Governments and Society.

I'm part of the team of the project, it is a powerfull tool. We believe that data and the people should be at the center of every decision. With the outbreak of COVID-19, it was clear that the world and in this case Argentina, needed the tools to bring this vision to the healthcare system.
