By integrating Ada's solutions into their digital health journeys, these organizations are aiming to improve the quality and efficacy of care for their patients and streamlining processes for healthcare professionals. Its ongoing success has allowed Ada to grow rapidly and secure partnerships with leading organizations in numerous geographies, including the US, France, Portugal, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. Ada's Class II medical device status provides additional assurances for health organizations in Brazil that apply strict standards to their own and their suppliers' offerings and value proven clinical excellence. Today's announcement is expected to further support and expedite Ada's expansion in the South American region with the potential to improve health outcomes and experiences for millions of people.
