I believe real change happens when patients and professionals learn from each other.
With experience across research, health policy, and patient advocacy, I help organizations build more inclusive and collaborative healthcare systems. My work bridges science and lived experience to make communication, decisions, and care more human.

Education
"Aline delivered an exceptional session on Health Technology Assessment and the impact of patient preferences to our medical and market access team, combining technical rigor with deep human sensitivity. Her presentation inspired us to view healthcare innovation through a more people-centered lens—connected to what truly matters to patients."
"Aline’s experience and compassionate approach were essential to ensuring our project maintained a truly people-centred focus from start to finish. Her patient lenses and contributions strengthened our study, especially when our goal was to understand patients' preferences and quality of life."
"Aline delivered an engaging session for the International Patient Advocacy Management Master module on Health Technology Assessment, organized by the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (…) in partnership with the European Patients Forum. Her contribution introduced students to key HTA concepts and highlighted the essential role that patients and citizens play in promoting more transparent, relevant, and value-based decision-making. Through a combination of short lectures and interactive activities, Aline connected theory with real-world practice, drawing on her extensive experience with the HTAi PCIG and global initiatives."
"Dr. Aline Silva participated as an expert in our Health Technology Assessment training with 20 leaders from Colombian patient organizations and, since then, has been part of LAPA’s network of trusted experts. Her broad experience and profound understanding of patient and citizen participation in healthcare added exceptional value (...). Her presentation on Brazil’s social participation model was especially impactful, offering practical insights that strengthened the capacities of participants, and helped build a more engaged and empowered regional network. We are truly grateful for her contribution and continued commitment to advancing patient-centered health systems in Latin America."
