Public-good software, enterprise-grade operations.
Salus separates who governs the software from who operates it. That split is what lets the platform be free to qualified public health laboratories while still carrying real, funded operational accountability.
The outbreak intelligence engine for modern public health.
Public health laboratories face retiring technologists, expanding genomic surveillance requirements, and fragmented electronic laboratory reporting. Traditional LIMS upgrades take years and cost millions. Salus is not another administrative database - it is an intelligent, autonomous force-multiplier for your laboratory staff.
Autonomous AI agents pre-validate incoming specimen metadata and flag discrepancies, cutting manual intake friction without taking safety control away from clinical scientists.
Built on HL7 v2/v3, FHIR, LOINC, SNOMED CT, and ELR. Salus bridges instrument data directly into state and national surveillance networks without breaking existing workflows.
Your data lives in your own Snowflake tenant. Zero vendor lock-in, full ownership, and direct control of every raw and processed record.
Software licensed as a public good through a 501(c)(3) foundation, aligning the mission with public health outcomes rather than software margins.
How the model is structured.
Two distinct roles, held by two distinct organizations, so the incentives never blur.
Global Hands, Inc.
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Global Hands holds and governs the core Salus software license and grants it, free of charge, to qualified public health laboratories - eliminating per-seat fees, annual renewal risk, and proprietary lock-in.
Salus Agentic, Inc.
A Delaware corporation, subsidiary of JIL Sovereign Holdings, LLC. Develops the platform and delivers the operational side under enterprise Service Level Agreements: cloud hosting, 24/7 technical support, compliance maintenance, and custom laboratory integrations.
Why the split matters.
Separating the license from the SLA is what keeps this audit-clean for procurement and ethics review.
No per-seat tax
Every qualified laboratory receives the complete platform, unlimited users, at $0 in software license fees.
No annual renewal risk
The license is a perpetual public-good grant, not a subscription that can be repriced or discontinued at renewal.
No vendor lock-in
Data lives in your own Snowflake tenant under open standards (HL7 v2/v3, FHIR, LOINC, SNOMED CT). Nothing about the license restricts export or migration.
Ecosystem reinvestment.
The Annual Platform Contribution is not a software fee - it funds the operational work that keeps the whole network current.
- Network resilience and platform reliability engineering
- Open schema updates shared across every deployment
- Ongoing agentic AI safety guardrails and review
- Interoperability work with CDC, APHL, and state surveillance networks
