DHI Research

DIGITAL HEALTH RESEARCH

With the launch of DHI, we are cultivating a thriving culture of collaboration and innovation across the campus. DHI serves as a hub and catalyst for research, promoting the development and commercialization of transformative digital technologies. With past and current collaborations across the health science and main campus, public and private institutions in the state, and national and international partners in both academia and private industry, we are confident that we will establish the U of U as one of the leading institutions, if not the leading institution, in the rapidly growing field of digital health.
