About the Institute
The Institute is a Brazilian nonprofit academic research and development institution to search for treatment and quality of life options for people with rare diseases and to address some barriers to implementing pharmacogenetic tests into clinical practices. The initial focus was on Rare Diseases, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Cancer.
H2CI Alagoas is consolidating its other Precision Public Health research, data management, advanced medical devices, regulatory affairs, logistics (Manaus Free Trade Zone for importing/exporting), medical writing, clinical trial services, and project management activities under the Institute Brand and elevating it to full Clinical Research Organization (CRO) status.
We hope to begin construction of our new Center of Excellence in Maceio in 2025.



The Institute operates as the main contact between sponsors and other stakeholders.
As the CRO, we communicate with ethics and compliance committees, regulators, vendors, physicians, and research coordinators.

Boosting Research & Development
Our service offerings can improve your productivity through intuitive, connected solutions that accelerate processes, minimize staff turnover and reduce costs.
Data Rich Clinical Trials - developing digital systems (information-technology solutions) facilitating data; using more efficient, adaptive clinical trial methodologies; and
increasing patient engagement with Clinical Trials.


Personalized Patient Experiences
Improving the patient experience and satisfaction with personalized sharable medical details, appointment reminders, and online consultations.
iParticipate and iConfirm- smartphone based user applications that allow patients to learn about clinical trials, enrol to participate, consent to their data usage, and provide contunous feedback to both researchers and for the well-being of the participant.
Ensuring Data Privacy & Compliance
Only authorized personnel with the appropriate privacy and confidentiality training and authorized third parties will be able to access the identifiable personal information you provide. We typically create de-identified data from the personal information you provide by excluding information that personally identifies you and use this de-identified data for research and product development, or any other legal purpose.

We will not sell the personal information you provide to any third party. We may share personal information with our affiliates, third parties, and research partners acting on behalf of the Institute. The information you provide may be used to determine your potential eligibility for current and/or future clinical trials as well as for research purposes and potential product development. If required, we may also share information you provide with regulatory agencies, such as an institutional review board (IRB), to comply with our regulatory obligations or to comply with the law.


AI-Assisted Clinical Trials
Apps and Portals to improve Trial participation, outcomes, reporting and data sharing. We are dedicated to providing high-quality clinical data management services to support your product needs, obtaining clinical trial data you can trust, saving time and resources.
AI-Assisted Dash-boarding
Our medical applications are designed with decision-making aids and are specially developed for early detection of diseases typically not detected in conventional examinations. AI algorithms provide early detection of the underlying issues, crucial for rapid analysis with recommendations to the doctor for actions.
Our Clinical Trial apps provide real-time visibility and insight into project proceedings-- highlighting potential issues with risk mitigation suggestions.



Scalability On-Demand
The C in our name stands for Consortium. It was first established in 2015 and has grown to have partners across 80 countries to help us achieve our strategic objectives. The Consortium has universities, research centres, NGOs, and SMEs operating under joint venture, multi-territory enterprise, or special purpose entity instruments. Each member of H2CI was specifically chosen for their potential to strengthen our global position in research, innovation, and technology. We work in partnership with our clients and look at their problems holistically.
Our consortium provides world-class business leaders, scientists, engineers, researchers, technologists and healthcare professionals that are committed to the development of breakthrough solutions to today´s and tomorrow's concerns.
