CI&T and Natura Leverage Artificial Intelligence to Make the Digital Environment More Inclusive and Efficient for up to 1.8 Million Consultants
SíO PAULO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Following last month's Global Accessibility Awareness Day, CI&T (NYSE: CINT), a tech-business specialist, reinforced the role of AI as an ally of accessibility and celebrated its partnership with Natura, Brazil's largest multinational cosmetics company, in building a more inclusive digital environment for people with disabilities. Focusing on diversity and enhancing user experience, the initiative has positively impacted 1.8 million Natura and Avon Beauty Consultants, offering more intuitive, accessible journeys tailored to the varying navigation needs of these partners. Over 60 product, technology, and design experts from Natura and CI&T collaborated in the creation of an inclusive and lasting digital transformation, where it is possible to adapt and identify new needs over time. For CI&T, AI allows for the identification of less obvious barriers, real-time suggestions for improvements, and the automation of recurring checks on digital platforms. CI&T employees with disabilities directly participated in the creation and validation of interfaces.

These experiences guide more empathetic and effective solutions. This is undoubtedly a great example of using artificial intelligence in favor of human needs,' says Cinthia Oliveira, global head of ESG at CI&T. The work has evolved based on three main fronts: technical diagnosis, active participation of people with disabilities, and continuous training of teams. On the technical side, tools like CI&T Flow, CI&T's proprietary GenAI platform, utilize AI to assess digital interfaces according to the international Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and broader A11Y best practices, Additionally, empathy workshops and training for leadership and design teams contribute to strengthening a more conscious and sensitive culture towards diversity.

CI&T delivers prototype app for Project Nemo
CI&T, an AI and tech acceleration partner, has today announced Nemo, Art of the Possible — a groundbreaking prototype of a financial app created in collaboration with Project Nemo, the not-for-profit grassroots initiative driving to improve disability inclusion in the fintech and financial services industries. 0 Nemo was designed to support any adult with a learning disability in managing their finances more independently and safely. The prototype is a direct response to the Project Nemo report, Safe Spending for Adults with a Learning Disability, published earlier in June, developed by Firefish, sponsored by Nationwide and commissioned by Project Nemo, with support from Mencap and Dosh. The report exposed a stark reality: 38% of people with learning disabilities need ongoing help with everyday spending, and 32% do not have a bank account in their own name. It also highlighted how complex banking processes, inaccessible tools, and a lack of personalised support leave many financially excluded and at risk. CI&T's team engaged directly with individuals with lived experience — people with learning disabilities, carers, and accessibility experts — to design an app that addresses these challenges head-on. For the first time, this community has had a direct voice at the design table—an opportunity to share their needs and perspectives with the financial services industry. This marks a significant shift from the past, when individuals with learning disabilities had little choice but to accept what was offered. Now, their input provides valuable, practical insights that can help shape more inclusive and responsive banking services. In only six weeks, CI&T created Nemo, leveraging CI&T's enterprise-ready AI platform CI&T FLOW. Built with accessibility and ease of use as core principles, Nemo is a highly adaptive, inclusive digital product that empowers users to take control of their financial lives, while still allowing for trusted support where needed. While primarily designed for adults with learning disabilities, its advanced features and versatile configurability also significantly benefit neurodiverse individuals and anyone seeking greater confidence and support in managing their finances. Some of these features include: Supported decision-making: Users maintain complete control of their accounts; supporters can view and offer encouragement, but never act without explicit permission. Personalised onboarding: The app adapts to each user's confidence, habits, and accessibility needs. Calm mode: Reduces sensory overload and simplifies the interface during stressful moments. Emergency pot: A protected fund for unexpected needs, with optional spending locks and supporter assistance. Supporter Oversight: Trusted third parties receive real-time alerts and offer support while users remain in control. Learning over time: The app evolves with users, gradually unlocking more features as confidence grows. 'The path to true innovation is paved with diversity, accessibility, and inclusion,' said Solange Sobral, EVP & Partner at CI&T. 'This project truly reflects the Art of the Possible, and we hope it serves as a catalyst for financial institutions to lead the way in evolving digital products to be more inclusive. We're proud to partner with Project Nemo to build a solution that gives individuals with learning disabilities greater financial autonomy.' 'I'm incredibly thankful to the CI&T team for not only pulling this together so quickly, but also with such remarkable care, attention, and quality. This combination is rare and a true testament to a team and culture that performs exceptionally while engaging thoughtfully through the entire process. Seeing something so powerful created, something the community can now truly touch and interact with, is a profound way of giving voice to their needs.' said Joanne Dewar, Founder of Project Nemo. Some of the individuals with firsthand experience who collaborated on the prototype's development included Kris Foster, Co-Founder of Project Nemo and George Webster, a BAFTA-winning actor and presenter known from CBeebies and Mencap. Webster is featured in the prototype and presents in-app video explanations, such as for Terms and Conditions, to make them easier to understand. The app is not only a practical tool, but also a statement of intent. It demonstrates how the financial sector can and should evolve to serve everyone, not just those who fit the standard mould. It also shows that inclusive innovation doesn't require compromise, only the will to involve those most affected from the start. The launch marks a milestone in the movement for financial accessibility, a practical, purpose-driven solution that turns research into action and empowers a community that has waited too long to be included. With this launch, CI&T and Project Nemo are driving toward a more equitable financial future where independence and inclusion are within reach for everyone.

Building Trust Through Data: CI&T Releases Report for a More Patient-Centric Healthcare Future
NEW YORK, May 22, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CI&T (NYSE: CINT), a global technology transformation specialist, today released a new report, Patient-Centric Data Collection: 5 Findings and Opportunities for Every Healthcare Provider, which uncovers a trust gap in patient data handling and highlights opportunities to improve the healthcare experience. The report outlines key findings that point to a common need: a more patient-driven, transparent approach to data collection and management. "Trust in data accuracy, privacy, and accessibility is not just a back-end IT issue – it's an all-around experience issue," said Luiz Cieslak, SVP, Head of Healthcare & Life Sciences at CI&T. "The data shows that improving transparency, digital engagement, and patient autonomy are essential to building trust and improving overall care outcomes." CI&T surveyed 500 U.S. patients who have recently engaged with the healthcare system to gather their perspectives on sharing information with their healthcare provider. To understand how experiences shifted based on sentiment, the survey also captured the respondents' Net Promoter Score (NPS). Promoters—those who rate their likelihood to recommend as 9 or 10—demonstrate strong loyalty and satisfaction, while detractors (0–6) and passives (7–8) reflect lower levels of confidence and engagement. The key findings include: Trust Gaps Undermine Confidence in Data Sharing - patients who are satisfied with their care (promoters) are 45% more likely than unsatisfied patients (detractors) to trust their provider's data-sharing capabilities. Additionally, there's a 41% gap between promoters and detractors in their willingness to trust providers with their personal data, underscoring the need for greater transparency and reassurance around data handling. Patients are Willing to Invest Time on Paperwork, If They Trust the Outcome – Half of patients (52%) reported completing paperwork prior to appointments, with 70% spending more than five minutes doing so. Time spent on forms had minimal impact on satisfaction – as long as patients believed the information would be used to enhance care quality. Digital Pre-Registration Boosts Control but Adoption Lags – While 52% of patients were asked to pre-register online, only 46% followed through. Digital engagement is notably lower among detractors, with just 39% completing pre-registration, compared to 63% of promoters. While Paperwork Is Tolerated, Redundancy Erodes Confidence – 60% of respondents said they had to repeat details like diagnoses, medications, or allergies. While this didn't significantly affect satisfaction scores, it represents a lost opportunity to instill confidence in data accuracy and continuity of care. Patients Want More Control Over Their Records – 50% of respondents report having to correct their data at a recent visit, signaling a larger trend of the importance of patient access and the ability to update records themselves.
