Health Observatory at ASU

Improving health — for all Arizonans


The Health Observatory at ASU looks at the health of Arizonans to prepare our state to identify, track and mitigate future health crises. A comprehensive, data-driven understanding of community health will create a more equitable, resilient, impactful and cost-effective health care system. It will drive medical innovation and detect, respond to and prevent emerging health threats.

Our approach will leverage real-time and holistic data to provide leaders with the information they need to take action quickly. It’s a model that will improve health outcomes for Arizona and one that can scale nationally to help leaders across the country make more informed public health decisions.
