Better Health for All

Ansys's core simulation software products do not have well-established negative health outcomes, contributing to health-neutral or positive offerings. The company also demonstrates a commitment to mental health, providing resources such as a Wellness Coach App that includes fitness and meditation.

As a software company, many health-related KPIs are not applicable, including those concerning direct product safety, price accessibility of health products, reach to vulnerable populations, health risk transparency, health externalities, health equity programs, healthcare workforce support, pharmaceutical patents, nutrition and food safety, healthcare education, addiction mitigation, and clinical trial ethics. While Ansys's software is used to analyze human heart anatomies and optimize medical device and vaccine production, specific quantitative data on the percentage of R&D allocation for health innovation, healthcare data responsibility practices, or financial contributions during health crises are not provided in the articles, leading to the omission of these KPIs.
