The AI for public health · By public health, for public health
The grind isn't the job. Let AI take the grind.
You already reach for AI to get through the day — most of public health does. PH360™ is the one built for the work: pre-loaded with the FDA Food Code, CDC communicable disease guidance, and PHAB accreditation standards, answering from the actual public-health sources and showing you where every answer came from. No more scrolling a PDF in the walk-in cooler while everyone waits. The grind takes less of your day, and you stay on the parts that need your judgment. Open it and use it — no setup, no prompt engineering, useful the day you start.
Available on day one
Inside your workflows
It already knows the rulebook. Your team brings the judgment.
Think of PH360 as the helpful assistant who has read the entire internet — and also holds a PhD in public health. It carries the FDA Food Code and the CDC communicable disease guidance in working memory, knows the PHAB Standards & Measures, then shows up at the moments the work actually happens. A few of those moments, below.
Accreditation · PHAB Standards & Measures
Reaccreditation is due. The evidence is scattered across five years of files.
You're the accreditation coordinator — on top of your day job — and the evidence for every PHAB measure is buried in plans, meeting minutes, QI records, and a dozen shared drives.
PH360 already knows the PHAB measures.
Upload your strategic plan and QI records, and it maps your evidence to the measures each one satisfies — flagging the gaps before the site visit, not during it. You still decide what counts and sign the submission; it just turns a months-long scavenger hunt into an afternoon of review.
Environmental Health · FDA Food Code
You're in the walk-in cooler. The owner says you made the last citation up.
You're scrolling the PDF on your device trying to find the rule, and every second you can't find it you look a little less credible — in front of the line cooks, in front of the owner.
Then you remember you have PH360.
You ask what the FDA Food Code says about cold-holding cut leafy greens, and it answers — section, subsection, the actual language. You write the violation and move on; you're still the one reading the room, PH360 just put the rule in your hand.
Communicable Disease · CDC guidance
It's 4:47 on a Friday. A daycare director just got a shigella call.
Twenty-two kids, Monday's family letter has to go out, and you're the on-call nurse — you've handled shigella before, but it's been a while and the director is on the phone waiting.
You ask PH360 for the exclusion period and exposure guidance.
It answers straight from the Red Book and the CDC's surveillance manual. You're still the nurse hearing the worry in her voice and phrasing the letter so it informs without panicking — you give her the answer, draft the letter, and go home.
Bring your own knowledge
PH360 knows public health. You give it your jurisdiction.
Every PH360 starts the same way: the FDA Food Code, CDC communicable disease guidance, and PHAB Standards & Measures already in working memory. They're identical in every jurisdiction, so it's useful the moment you log in — pre-loaded, with no setup on your end.
Then you make it yours. Your state code and administrative rules. Local ordinances and variance decisions. The SOPs, standing orders, and outbreak playbooks that only live in your department. No engineering team, no data project — your administrators add them, and PH360 reasons across the federal baseline and your local context as one.
That's the part a general tool can't hand you: it doesn't just know public health — it knows how your jurisdiction does public health.
Federal baseline + your jurisdiction — reasoned over as one.
When someone leaves, what they built stays.
The knowledge your team layers in lives in the platform — not in one person's head or one person's spreadsheet. Any administrator can see and edit any agent. When the sanitarian who built your inspection workflow retires, the workflow stays — and so does everything they taught it.
What you're actually buying
Maple answers questions. Oak builds agents.
Both ship with PH360. Both run on the same federal baseline. Both take the slow lookup-and-draft work off your team's plate — so they stay on the parts that need their judgment.
Ask food code, communicable disease, accreditation, and program questions in plain language. Every answer cites a source — section, subsection, document name.
Above: measles case response cited to Wisconsin Administrative Code.
Build agents for the jobs your team actually does — accreditation, food code, CD, comms. Each takes about thirty minutes. Your administrators run it. You don't need to code.
Above: six-step builder — name it, instructions, knowledge, test, activate.
You start with the preloaded programs. From there, your team uses Oak to build agents for the rest of what you do — no engineering team required:
PH360 grows with you — workflow by workflow, on your schedule.
Its own category
The AI for public health.
Public health needs AI. PH360 is the one built for it — for the way local health departments actually operate: inspections, communicable disease response, emergency preparedness, accreditation. Not a general tool you bend to fit, and not a clinical system aimed at the exam room. Its own category.
Who builds this
You've used software designed by someone who never had to use it.
The bean counter that counts numbers but can't move an investigation. The case system that looks like 1996 because it was built in 1996. Public health has always MacGyvered solutions from tools built for someone else — and you've been blamed for the workarounds.
PH360 is different for one unglamorous reason: the people who built it sat in those seats. Running IT for a county health department. Leading communicable disease response. Building health department GIS. We didn't interview users — we were the users, cursing the same systems you are.
Case study · Sauk County, WI
How Sauk County made Food Code lookups disappear.
The work that didn't need your head or your heart — gone.
Sauk County Public Health put PH360 in front of one of their hardest workflows: the regulatory legwork that pulls a sanitarian out of the cooler to scroll a PDF. Two months in, we measured an 83% reduction in the time their team spent on those lookups — and sanitarians stayed where they belong: on the line, on the floor, watching the work.
Public health expertise, day one. Your jurisdiction's context, on your terms.
Why now
Give your team relief.
Stand behind how they get it.
Your staff are buried in documentation, and they'll reach for whatever helps them move faster — pretending AI doesn't exist is also a policy, just one nobody chose. PH360 gives them the AI that actually gets the work done, built for public health so it's safe for the data they hold. And because everything runs in your own tenant, logged and auditable, you can stand behind the tool they're already reaching for.
Population-based pricing
PH360 is an enterprise solution, sized to your jurisdiction.
Your rate scales with your population and how many staff are on the platform. Estimate below; we'll build a real quote together on the call. Or skip the numbers and start a free trial first →
Recommendation: add a few managers and directors as Pro users — they're the ones who'll create the agents. Give the rest of your team Basic.
Population 50,000 to 100,000
$4,752 billed annually (10% prepay discount applied)
- 10 total seats — 8 Maple, 2 Oak
- 70M tokens/month, pooled across your account
- Supports HIPAA · BAA signed at contract · SOC 2 audited
- AWS Bedrock · Isolated tenant per customer
We charge a one-time implementation fee that depends on the scope of training and support required — +30% (Standard) or +50% (Premium) of annual fees. We'll scope it on the call.
Rolling out beyond one department
Bringing PH360 to a cohort, association, or state agency?
When a state association, regional consortium, or agency deploys PH360 to many departments at once, we run it as one coordinated engagement — not a stack of separate sign-ups. Same platform, same category, handled by a person.
- Group pricing across member departments, with shared onboarding and a single point of contact.
- Procurement the way your members already buy — RFP, PO, GPO, and cooperative purchasing vehicles.
- Built with your members' workflows in mind, so adoption starts with the work they already do.
For your team and your stakeholders
How we think about AI in public health.
Before you take this to your team, here's how we think about AI in a health department: where it helps, what it won't do, and what changes when AI is built for public health from the ground up.
Free trial · By request

We're getting PH360 into the hands of public health teams a few at a time. Tell us where to reach you and we'll be in touch to set up your trial. A former health-department leader (not a sales rep) does the setup, so it arrives already knowing the Food Code and CDC guidance and is useful the moment you log in. No credit card.
Common questions
Questions worth answering early.
How is PH360 different from ChatGPT or other AI tools?
PH360 is the AI built for public health. It won't help you write a recipe or plan a vacation — it's designed to be your sidekick within a public health context. That means the guidance it gives is evidence-based, defaults to public health language, and is grounded in the regulations and guidance your team actually uses. General AI tools don't have that constraint, which is exactly the problem.
What's already loaded out of the box?
The two preloaded programs — Communicable Disease (CDC guidance, including the Pink Book, Red Book, MMWR recommendations, and case definitions) and FDA Food Code — work the day you sign. Tracking and audit are built in. PH360 is in use across 15 health departments today.
How do we know it actually works?
Sauk County Public Health put PH360 in front of FDA Food Code citation lookups and measured an 83% reduction in the time their team spent on those lookups. PH360 doesn't change what your team does — it removes the friction around the documentation and reference-pulling that surrounds the work. Read the full case study.
Do we have to upload anything to get started?
No. The CDC guidance and FDA Food Code are already loaded. You add your jurisdiction's documents — state code, county SOPs, standing orders, plans — when you're ready. PH360 reasons across the baseline and your local context together.
Who maintains it once we're up?
Your administrators — using a no-code chatbot builder. Any administrator can edit agents created by any license holder, so there's no single point of failure when staff turn over. We update the federal baseline (Food Code, CDC) as it changes.
How much can our administrators do without involving F&T Labs?
Almost everything. Your admins manage accounts, agents, and permissions through Birch, PH360's admin interface — no support ticket needed. You can pause or restrict use inside your organization any time. To end the contract, give us 30 days' written notice. If you're appropriation-dependent and funds aren't appropriated, you can terminate at the end of the fiscal year with the same 30 days' notice.
Who owns the data and content we put into PH360?
You do. Everything you put in or generate on the platform — documents, prompts, outputs, chat history, audit logs — belongs to your organization. We host and process it so the service works. We don't claim ownership, and your data never trains a model. This is written into our MSA and BAA.
Public records, data export, and leaving — how does that work?
Every chat is logged automatically — user inputs, AI responses, timestamps, attached documents, model used, and token metadata — so admins can pull chat history for any licensed user when a records or Sunshine-law request lands. Exports come in JSON, CSV, or XML, whatever your records office prefers. If you ever leave, you get a 60-day window after termination to export everything; after that we delete your data and send written certification of deletion on request, and any PHI is returned or destroyed per the BAA.
How does pricing work?
Transparent and procurement-ready. Pricing varies based on the size of your jurisdiction and the number of staff using PH360 — and implementation and training for your first agents are included, with no hidden developer or consultant costs. We'll quote you on the call.
How predictable is pricing over a multi-year contract?
Very. Year 1 is your annual subscription (with a discount if you prepay) plus a one-time implementation fee. The implementation fee doesn't repeat. From Year 2 on, the annual increase is capped at 5% and tied to the prior year's CPI — if CPI comes in lower, your increase matches CPI; if higher, you're still at 5%. No developer fees, no surprise add-ons. We'll walk through a 3-year projection for your user mix on the demo call.
Is PH360 HIPAA compliant?
PH360 supports your compliance with the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rule as part of our HIPAA Compliance Program. We sign a Business Associate Agreement with every client, maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards consistent with the Security Rule, and provide the audit logging and access controls your privacy officer needs. Our attestation letter is available on request — and our full security documentation lives at trust.fandtlabs.com.
Do you provide ongoing compliance monitoring or governance support?
A few different things, depending on what you need. The platform itself is built around HIPAA compliance, security, and public health governance — we're SOC 2 audited, and our security documentation lives at trust.fandtlabs.com. For ongoing monitoring, Birch gives your admins direct access to chat logs, token usage, and user activity, so your team can audit on its own schedule. Need specific compliance metrics or reporting beyond that? We can scope it. On AI policy, we share an AI Policy Worksheet that covers the key decisions your team needs to make. If you'd rather have us facilitate or co-author the policy, that's a separate engagement.
Can we start small?
Yes. Most departments start with the chat for the whole team and put a few champions on the agent builder. That's the rollout shape we recommend.
How long does it take to get started?
You're on the platform as soon as the contract is signed. We handle the technical setup and help your champions build their first agents in your first week.
What if PH360 gives me wrong information?
AI models are confident by design — they don't admit uncertainty the way a cautious colleague would. That's why PH360 agents cite their sources: every answer includes the document name and page number so you can verify. Treat it like a knowledgeable colleague whose work you spot-check before acting on. The multi-layer guardrail pipeline also runs post-response checks for hallucination and privacy on every output.
How are inaccurate outputs, operational issues, or compliance concerns escalated and resolved?
A few layers. The system is set up to flag uncertainty instead of guessing, and every answer includes citations so staff can check the source. Our terms list four categories of issue your team can report through support: biased or discriminatory outputs, materially inaccurate information, systematic errors, and outputs that violate applicable law or professional standards. We investigate and fix them. For security or data incidents, we notify you within 2 business days. For PHI breaches, the BAA requires notification within 30 calendar days. Support comes in three tiers — Standard is included; Premier and Signature add faster response and extended coverage.
What should I use PH360 for — and what should stay human?
PH360 handles documentation lookup, citation-checking, drafting, and reference-pulling — the work that takes time away from the work that requires your training and judgment. If a task requires clinical judgment, a hard conversation with a family, or building community trust, that stays with your team. PH360 is there to take the pile of PDFs off your plate so your people can spend more of their day on the work only they can do.
Can my whole team use the agents I build?
Yes. Agents you create in Oak can be shared with your full team — staff can access what you've built without needing a professional license. Admins can see and edit all agents so there's no single point of failure when staff turn over. If you're thinking about a department-wide rollout, we can walk through the license tiers on the call.
