Built in the gap

Lacuna works where the gaps

in healthcare are widest and the work is hardest:

an association, an advisory practice and a technology company, built so that

clinical insight, capital and technology feed one another.

We’re building the bridge

Lacuna Global Health Association, Lacuna Advisors and Lacuna Solutions are three independently governed entities working to a shared purpose. Each is accountable in its own right; together they move insight, capital and technology around the same gap.

Lacuna

n. la·cu·na | lə-ˈkü-nə

A gap, a blank space or a missing part. As in scientific lacuna, an area of research not yet pursued, but which should be.

Three entities. One ecosystem.

Programmes in real environments generate data, workflows and trust.

Advisors

A Geneva consultancy: policy, health systems, technology and capital meet.

Solutions

Technology, AI and devices for emerging, frontier and rural markets.
