Who We are
Digital HealthEX (DHEX) is a nonprofit organization advancing responsible innovation to improve health outcomes, strengthen communities, and expand opportunity.
We believe every community should have the opportunity to benefit from innovations, especially rural, vulnerable, and medically underserved populations that often face the greatest health, economic, and technology-related challenges.
DHEX brings together leaders from healthcare, public health, government, academia, industry, philanthropy, and community organizations to address the opportunities and challenges created by artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies. Through community engagement,
workforce development, applied research, demonstration projects, strategic partnerships, and policy leadership, we help translate innovation into meaningful community impact.
Our work is guided by a simple principle: innovation should serve people. We advance practical solutions that build trust, strengthen capacity, and create measurable benefits for the communities that need them most.
Together, we are helping create a future where responsible innovation drives stronger communities, better health, and greater opportunity for all.
