The digital health ecosystem includes digital diagnostics, digital biomarkers, remote patient monitoring tools, wearables and biologic sensors, point of care and clinical workflow enhancement tools and digital therapeutics – clinical interventions delivered directly to individuals via software to treat, manage or prevent a disease or disorder. DIADH will embrace this full spectrum of digital health in the work it supports.

Through this new initiative -- with guidance from alumni and industry leaders, and philanthropic gifts from visionary donors – DIADH helps Dartmouth teams develop and evaluate their digital health novel solutions and harness the resources needed to accelerate the implementation of these solutions to improve people’s lives.
