Charitable operation
Global Hands holds the public-sector operating role. Program-related activity is structured to lessen the burdens of government, not to sell commercial SaaS.

The Salus Agentic Public Good
Zero-license outbreak surveillance for public health laboratories and agencies.
Global Hands operates Salus Agentic as a charitable public-good system connecting laboratories, electronic reporting, and human-supervised AI so agencies can hear the outbreak sooner, without a commercial software tax.
How the model works
Eliminating the Commercial Software Tax
The architecture separates the charitable software concession from pass-through cloud compute and at-cost maintenance.
| Component | Standard commercial SaaS | Global Hands initiative |
|---|---|---|
| Core software license | $75,000 to $350,000 / year | $0.00 (non-profit grant concession) |
| Data warehouse and hosting | Vendor lock-in, marked up | Dedicated Snowflake instance, at cost |
| Data ownership | Vendor managed / co-mingled | 100% agency owned and isolated |
| Field training | Billable professional services | Non-profit mission teams and workshops |
Platform
Built for High-Throughput Public Health
Salus Agentic integrates into existing LIMS, EHR feeds, and syndromic streams so anomalous pathogen signals surface before manual reporting catches up.
Automated LIMS and HL7 / FHIR ingestion
Secure batch and streaming pipelines connecting state public health laboratories, hospital sentinel sites, and commercial lab feeds.
Human-supervised agentic signal analysis
Detection agents monitor positivity trends, atypical clusters, and geospatial spread, then flag threats for epidemiologist verification.
Privacy-by-design verification
Aggregations and reporting thresholds are designed so raw personally identifiable information and protected health information stay contained.
Cross-jurisdictional federation
Municipal, county, and state agencies can share threat intelligence while retaining local data custody.
Surveillance analytics
Temporal detection, geospatial clustering, wastewater intelligence, genomic surveillance, and forecasting under human control.
Zero-license access for agencies
Qualified public health organizations receive the core software license at $0.00 under the Global Hands public charity charter.
LIMS / hospital lab feeds → secure non-profit Snowflake ingestion → Salus Agentic engine → human-in-the-loop epidemiologist dashboard
Governance
Operated by a Public Charity, Licensed for Public Good
Salus Agentic is developed by Salus Agentic, Inc. and operated through Global Hands, Inc. so qualified public health agencies can receive the core license at no charge.
Arms-length technology
The software concession is royalty-free for non-profit and government deployments. Maintenance, if billed, stays at or below fair market value.
Data sovereignty
Agency data sits in a dedicated Snowflake instance. Global Hands does not commingle jurisdictions or claim ownership of the agency's records.
