Program in Digital Medicine Faculty

The UMass Chan Program in Digital Medicine houses the combined subject matter, clinical, and research expertise in digital medicine of our core faculty across the UMass ecosystem with the shared vision to develop technologies and digital health programs that benefit patients; evaluate them for in-patient / ambulatory / home-based care and deploy them within our health system; and assess impact via state-of-the-art implementation science. Our subject matter expertise spans artificial intelligence, machine learning, wearables, digital therapeutics, software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD), natural language processing, EMR abstraction, and much, much more. Our areas of excellence include:

Clinical Decision Support and Implementation Science
Development and integration of AI tools | Co-design of new digital medicine workflows | Patient and provider-centered design

Remote Monitoring and Mobile Health
Wearable technology and biosensors | Point-of-care diagnostics | Prescriptive surveillance

Pragmatic Digital Studies and Comparative Effectiveness
E-Cohorts and site-less studies | Democratizing trial participation through digital tools | Prioritization of “real world” health challenges and equity
