The Digital Health Unit (DHU) supports the design of robust, digitally enabled clinical studies by incorporating tools such as wearable devices and mobile data collection. We provide expert guidance on selecting and integrating digital health technologies, including apps, wearables and telehealth platforms, to ensure seamless implementation within research protocols. Our team also assists with key startup activities, including regulatory submissions, data privacy considerations , and secure data collections strategies.

The DHU partners with early stage innovators to explore how digital health solutions can be validated through clinical research. We offer support for pilot testing, usability evaluations, and real-world validation, while also providing regulatory guidance. By facilitating connections with clinicians, researchers and patient communities, we help innovators refine their tools and accelerate their path to impact.

We leverage digital technologies to reduce barriers to participation in research and healthcare, particularly for populations that are remote or underserved. The DHU is committed to advancing patient-centered solutions that extend beyond clinical trials, enabling sustained engagement and improved access to care through thoughtfully developed digital tools.
