Turning Fragmented Data Into Actionable Insight

Apriqot is reshaping how public health leaders understand and respond to community needs. Founded in 2023, the company turns fragmented population data into detailed, local insights. That clarity helps health systems and agencies understand where risk is concentrated and where targeted action can have the strongest impact. Apriqot’s work with partners across Maine has accelerated quickly, supported by MTI’s early and ongoing investment in its technology.

Identifying the Gap in Public Health Data

Apriqot emerged from a clear gap. Public health programs often rely on outdated or coarse data that obscures differences between neighborhoods. Using advanced modeling techniques, the company developed a framework that delivers small-area estimates in a format that integrates seamlessly with public health workflows. Built in close collaboration with the Maine CDC and MaineHealth, Apriqot’s tools provide the kind of precision decision-makers have long needed but rarely had access to.

Building a Scalable Platform for Growth

As demand grew, Apriqot faced the challenge of converting successful consulting work into a scalable, repeatable platform. MTI’s funding supplied the resources to design that foundation—from building the company’s modeling engine to developing its Health Atlas, a secure, web-based system now being deployed statewide. That infrastructure also laid the groundwork for Apriqot’s first federal research award and its expansion into emerging use cases, including dementia surveillance, cancer screening eligibility, and food insecurity modeling.

Delivering Impact Across Maine

Today, Apriqot’s platform is improving how agencies and health systems identify risk, plan services, and reach people who might otherwise be overlooked. Local teams can now visualize need at the town level, empowering them to act sooner and more strategically at the local level and strengthening Maine’s broader public health response.

Perspectives d'avenir

As Apriqot looks ahead, the company is preparing to deepen its engagement in Maine and scale its innovative technology nationally. That growth builds on Maine’s collaborative innovation ecosystem and MTI’s catalytic support, extending high-resolution public health intelligence to communities across the country.
