P.I.T. PARTNERSHIP
Digital Medicine Society (DiMe)
STAGES
Design, Build
In May 2019, with support from the Digitalis Commons, DiMe became the first professional society for practitioners of digital medicine. They work to advance the safe, effective, and equitable use of digital approaches to redefine healthcare and improve lives.
The Challenge
In May 2019, DiMe with support from the Digitalis Commons became the first professional society for practitioners of digital medicine. Although organizations serving corporations in this field did exist, none served the individuals working to make digital medicine part of a new standard of care. The computer scientists, healthcare providers, engineers, behavioral scientists, ethicists, clinical researchers, data scientists, and epidemiologists who are developing software and algorithms that measure, diagnose, and treat disease now have a convening body to support their work and collaboration.
Our Approach
Through our activities in venture capital, Digitalis had seen and worked on a growing number of digital medicine opportunities, but we were struck by the lack of a common definition for the domain, and a lack of coherence in its practices and organization. In considering ways forward for the field, we encountered the nascent DiMe and became a founding financial sponsor.
