Project Description: Hugo worked on two projects for Boston. The first was a comprehensive assessment of current city-funded digital health equity tele-health grant projects to evaluate effectiveness, identify best practices, and develop strategic recommendations for future funding cycles amid significant funding uncertainty. The second was a systematic review of all digital equity-related grants across different city departments to understand collaboration opportunities and eliminate duplicative efforts.
