Coala Saúde
Healthcare, right where school life happens.
We brought a full medical team, doctors, nurses, nutritionists, and psychologists, straight into the school routine. Coala Saúde connected students, families, and educators to real-time care, turning health emergencies into one-minute triage and everyday wellbeing into an ongoing, trusted relationship.
From launch, the strategy reached over 1,000 schools across Brazil and helped scale the company to 84 customers nationwide..
1,000+ schools reached. 150 schools with a dedicated mental health program. 15% platform activation.

What is Coala Saúde?

Ongoing monitoring: epidemiological control, prevention protocols, and tracking of chronic and mental health conditions
-
Real-time connection: linking parents, educators, and administrators with specialized professional guidance
Why we built the Coala Saúde app

With the goal of bringing physical and mental health care into everyday school life, I helped build the Coala Saúde app from the ground up, working on both design strategy and creative direction.
The initial focus was primarily B2B (direct sales to schools), with a complementary B2C communication channel: emails and educational health content sent to families through the schools themselves.
The strategy
-
On-the-ground launch: participated in 10 events across 9 Brazilian states, reaching over 1,000 schools with the Coala Saúde app.
-
Dedicated mental health product: within that reach, planned and launched the "Mental Health Dedicated For Students" product for 150 schools.
-
Customer journey: designed an activation journey connecting email communication and educational content to recurring platform use.
