ACT Global Network

ACT Global connects clinicians and health systems worldwide in the fight against rheumatic heart disease (RHD) through registry-based care.

ACT gives local teams a powerful tool to manage RHD more effectively. Better outcomes start with better data.

ACT: A case management tool built for rheumatic heart disease

ACT equips clinicians to manage RHD care more consistently at the point of care and across patient populations.

Designed for use in diverse clinical environments, the platform helps teams capture structured data and review individual patient histories. It also monitors critical care indicators and flags gaps that may affect outcomes.

Key benefits

  • Standardized data collection across diverse clinical environments
  • Dashboards, care cascade monitoring, and data visualization to support site-level quality improvement.
  • Individual patient outcomes tracking
  • Evidence to support clinical decisions, audits, and research
  • Ongoing quality improvement at the facility and network levels

Data infrastructure for a controllable disease

Many patients need lifelong follow-up and regular secondary prevention. Staying connected to care is critical to preventing disease progression and improving long-term outcomes, but that care often has to be coordinated across clinics, hospitals, and health systems.

ACT helps support the nurses, clinicians, and healthcare teams who make that ongoing care possible. Through a shared case management tool and global network, ACT helps teams track patients, coordinate follow-up, identify gaps in care, and ultimately keep patients connected to the care they need.

Measurable progress across regions

ACT Global is growing through clinical partnerships, site-level implementation, and shared commitment to better RHD care. Each local site, trained user, and enrolled patient strengthens the evidence base needed to improve treatment, follow-up, and health system planning.

One network. Many countries. One goal.

ACT Global is driven by the people and institutions working to improve care for patients with rheumatic heart disease. The network includes clinicians, researchers, health systems, and global health partners who recognize that RHD cannot be solved by one organization alone.

By connecting sites across countries, ACT Global brings shared learning and stronger data to bear on the disease. That coordinated action leads to earlier diagnosis, better follow-up, and improved outcomes for patients.

The network includes clinicians and researchers, alongside health systems and global health partners who recognize that RHD cannot be solved by one organization alone.
