About Community Health Informatics Data Lab at Brown University

We help healthcare organizations, academic institutions and Black communities solve problems about Black health through data storytelling and innovative learning solutions. Data is more than facts and statistics. Black health data represents life and health. We redefine traditional health data into living data and mixed media stories about the lived Black health experience. Our Black health data stories aid in the fight for health equity and the efforts to end racial health disparities that impact Black diasporic communities and other people of color. COVID Black works at the intersection of health data, information, race and social justice. As one of few Black woman-led and owned data firms, we help healthcare organizations, academic institutions and communities of color solve problems about race and health through data storytelling and innovative learning solutions. Founded to improve the analysis and visualization of data on health disparities in the coronavirus pandemic, COVID Black has partnered with the American Medical Association, the Association of American Medical Colleges, and Johns Hopkins University Center for Medical Humanities & Social Medicine to redefine traditional health data into data on the lived experience and mixed media stories. These data stories address the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on Black communities and other people of color as well as aid in the fight for health equity. Focus Areas At the center of our work are five key areas which emphasize living data and Black digital ethics, standards that are dedicated to ensuring autonomy and that the dignity of Black people and their experiences are respected on the Internet.
