Through this new initiative – with guidance from alumni and industry leaders, and philanthropic gifts from visionary donors – DIADH helps Dartmouth teams develop and evaluate their digital health novel solutions and harness the resources needed to accelerate the implementation of these solutions to improve people’s lives.

• Expand the reach of CTBH and Dartmouth science to improve people’s lives

• Support interdisciplinary teams to accelerate the real-world implementation of novel, clinically-validated digital health applications and digital therapeutics

• Help Ensure that science-based digital health products reach a sufficient state of maturity to reach a value inflection point

• Give Dartmouth faculty, students, and staff knowledge about the business of digital health and digital therapeutics

• Showcase Dartmouth’s pioneering and wide-reaching research in the science of digital therapeutics

• Grow strategic industry partnerships to commercialize the most potent digital health solutions

• Create a better understanding of the most timely and significant research questions in partnership with industry, payor, regulatory, and other partners

Features and Resources

There are many steps that a discovery made in a research setting must go through before it will gain traction with potential partners who can bring it to market.

•  A 2-day bootcamp-style experience to immerse teams in the entrepreneurial process

• Two months of guidance from instructors to continue to develop their project idea

• Support from staff, mentors, Tuck School of Business students, and Entrepreneurs in Residence

• Access to competitive intelligence via Informa’s Pharmaprojects and Meddevicetracker

• Access to Palamedes Partners for Market Research Reports

• An opportunity to pitch to and get feedback from the Accelerator’s External Review Panel comprising top investors and executives in digital health

• Meaningful funding awards of up to $100,000 upon completion of the program

Who is this Accelerator for?

The Dartmouth Innovation Accelerator for Digital Health is a joint effort with the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health (CTBH). It serves innovators within the Dartmouth College and Dartmouth Health community who aspire to bring their digital health solutions and virtual tools to the marketplace. We encourage participation from teams comprised of faculty, graduate and professional school students, post-docs, staff, and undergraduates.

The digital health ecosystem includes digital diagnostics, digital biomarkers, remote patient monitoring tools, wearables and biologic sensors, point of care and clinical workflow enhancement tools and digital therapeutics – clinical interventions delivered directly to individuals via software to treat, manage or prevent a disease or disorder. DIADH will embrace this full spectrum of digital health in the work it supports.
