The Health Area of iBit Foundation is carrying out projects and activities to promote technological innovation in the field of public and private health systems with the aim of standardizing access to health information and help the sustainability these systems. To achieve this goal, the health department, works in three directions: interoperability, telemedicine and management and transfer of knowledge.

On one hand, interoperability facilitates the conditions of access to information from professionals and patients, whatever their workplace or location. To accomplish this, iBit Foundation works with networks of entities that form the health system so they may share information. On the other hand, telemedicine is encouraged to provide the best service and the best professionals regardless of physical location and, in turn, save unnecessary expenditure on travel. Finally, Health Area takes the opportunity to disseminate through publications and training courses this collection and formalization of all the accumulated knowledge.

Health area has launched the Integration Competency Center (CCI) and the Health Innovation Laboratory (HiLAB), to manage efficiently and independently intercommunication of information systems and data integration. Thus, it contributes to sustainable model of health services by incorporating telemedicine care processes.

Examples of initiatives that demonstrate the task of iBit Foundation in implementing the ICT to health are: Play for Health's telemedicine platform , the Patient Portal, Electronic Prescriptions, Unique Identification for the Patients and the Integration of Medical Imaging, among others projects
