Our mission

The Center for Digital Health and Artificial Intelligence (CDHAI) generates knowledge to enable the digital transformation of healthcare, provides mentorship and education for the next generation of digital health experts, and aims to be a thought leader in digital health and artificial intelligence.

Transformational knowledge includes understanding how digital health solutions can be effectively implemented and integrated into health care practice and delivery across diverse clinical and patient-focused settings. The next generation of digital health experts includes researchers, practitioners, and executives at the doctoral, masters, and executive level. Our thought leadership encompasses publishing research, and disseminating findings and best practices to influence policy and practice.
