At WHOA! we know that in the Health Ecosystem, communication is key to efficient and quality care. That’s why health software plays a primary role by recording data and processing it into valuable information, which over time becomes knowledge. As a result, when used proactively to anticipate an event, this knowledge transforms into wisdom!
To help health software companies manage the data lifecycle at every level of the knowledge pyramid – data, information, knowledge, and wisdom – we offer APIs that are simple to understand and quick to implement.
Our solutions facilitate the implementation of leading semantic interoperability standards (SNOMED CT, ICD, ICPC-2, and more), leverage proprietary artificial intelligence, and are available in the cloud.
Additionally, we offer consulting services to enhance each client’s specific scenarios.
WHOA! is your strategic ally for intelligently managing the entire health data lifecycle.

WHOA! Value Proposition
Cloud APIs
These allow the transformation of data into information and deep knowledge for wise decision-making in health, using standards and controlled vocabularies
Our products use SNOMED CT as the primary coding system.
This choice is based on the fact that SNOMED CT has a broad technical vocabulary necessary to accurately express any health data, as well as its validation and wide international acceptance as a terminological standard.
TERMINOLOGY KIT
The Terminology Kit is a set of tools that helps users code their data to SNOMED CT and enhance their understanding of it.
It includes 2 functionalities for data coding (Semantic and Adapt), and 2 others to enhance understanding (Translate and Simplify).
The Terminology Kit also provides access to different versions of SNOMED CT, which are automatically updated.
CATEGORIES (TERMINOLOGY BINDINGS)
To improve the coverage and accuracy of search results, we offer categories that can be used in the Terminology Kit. These categories contain specific concepts (e.g., Cardiovascular Diseases, Medications, Breast Diagnoses, etc.). Using categories helps make results more precise by avoiding searches in irrelevant concepts.
Some categories contain concepts authored by WHOA!, modeled by experts in clinical terminology. Authorship allows the availability of concepts that are not yet standardized but are used in practice by the healthcare industry. Thanks to authorship, the coverage of the results provided to users is increased.
MAPPINGS
APIs that convert SNOMED CT codes to other codifications commonly used in different fields. For example: ICD-10, PMO, ICPC-2, National Nomenclature (Argentina), and more.
Personalized consulting services
through the use of controlled vocabularies.
We help your solution achieve maximum
benefit in managing the health data lifecycle.
Our authorship services allow the creation and management of new concepts for our clients in SNOMED CT extensions, as well as the maintenance of their extensions, whether organizational, local, national, or regional.
This process includes editing concept definitions, applying the rules of the SNOMED CT Concept Model, and integrating these concepts into health information systems.
We offer services to create and model concepts according to the guidelines of SNOMED CT, ensuring accuracy and compatibility with the international edition.
We facilitate the creation of extensions that meet specific requirements, including additional concepts needed for concrete use cases, ensuring comprehensive terminology applicable in all relevant contexts.
We provide continuous support to resolve technical and content issues, ensuring that extensions and concepts remain up-to-date and relevant.
Benefits
- Customization and Compatibility: We adapt SNOMED CT to the specific needs of our clients, ensuring customized solutions that are compatible and consistent with the international edition, and facilitating comparability between systems.
- Efficient Collaboration: We enhance the efficiency and quality of the developed terminology by facilitating the participation of multiple users in the creation and review of content.
- Cost Savings: We significantly reduce the effort and time required to maintain standardized terminologies, resulting in substantial operational savings for our clients.
