UMass Center for Digital Health

UMass Center for Digital Health (CDH) website

Participating Faculty Members:

Associated Labs:

  • Text Machine Lab for Natural Language Processing

The center for digital health is a multi-campus UMass partnership. It serves as a hub for research activities in digital health innovations, validation and evaluation of tools for digital health, academe-industry partnerships in digital health, consultancy and technology transfer for digital health, and education for the digital health workforce. Our research cover some of the most challenging issues in digital health. For example, we contribute to solutions for critical healthcare problems in at least three areas: aging populations, chronic disease, and health disparities.
