About Us

Founded in 2019, the Digital Medicine Society (DiMe) is the first professional organization for experts from all disciplines comprising the diverse field of digital medicine.
DiMe is a 501c3 nonprofit that exists to advance the safe, effective, equitable, and ethical use of digital medicine to optimize human health.

Our Mission

To serve professionals at the intersection of the global healthcare and technology communities, supporting them in developing digital medicine through interdisciplinary collaboration, research, teaching, and the promotion of best practices.

Core Values

  • We put patients first in everything we do.
  • We act with integrity. Always.
  • Our activities and decisions are evidence-based.
  • We are collaborative and embrace opportunities to work with colleagues with diverse backgrounds and expertise.

  • We are fearless: we are open, honest and constructive; we honor our obligation to dissent.

Functions

DiMe exists to advance digital medicine to optimize human health.

DiMe’s activities engage our members to address three main challenges:

  • Lack of evidence
  • Fragmentation and lack of alignment
  • Isolated silos of progress

Why DiMe?

To thrive as a field, digital medicine requires an unprecedented level of interdisciplinary collaboration. From regulators to white-hat hackers, ethicists to engineers, and clinicians to citizen scientists, new cooperative networks must emerge to ensure that digital medicine realizes its full potential to improve human health.

DiMe is the only professional society for all contributors to digital medicine. We provide a professional home to a wide range of interdisciplinary individuals, from interested students and recent graduates to emerging leaders in the field.

We do this through:

Enabling High Quality Research

Communication and Education

DiMe champions digital medicine as an intentional field at the intersection of medicine, healthcare, and technology. This requires that experts from each domain understand enough about the others to be able to embrace new paradigms.

DiMe ensures that all individuals within digital medicine can hone their expertise through access to information from all areas of the field, and especially information beyond their own specialties. DiMe aims to expose all members to the most robust evidence, best practices, and guiding principles. Content is derived from both DiMe-generated research and other high-quality sources such as relevant regulatory guidance.
