Director of Digital Health
From mobile apps to management software to multilanguage interactive voice response, we offer health workers and managers the tools and technology they need to do their very best work. We develop solutions that are open source, data-driven, sustainable, and collaborative. And as a pioneer in the field of health workforce informatics, we’re committed to using technology, information, and analytical approaches to support the people at the center of our health systems.
Always, our digital health initiatives are rooted in the Principles for Digital Development.
Our key approaches include:
- Fostering local capacity, ownership, and talent in health information technologies
- Creating national health information ecosystems that use open and convergent standards and approaches to eliminate technology and data silos
- Helping health officials make better, more informed decisions about health workforce policy, planning, training, regulation, and management
- Enabling health workers to deliver better health services through effective mobile decision-support technologies, telemedicine, and related approaches
- Providing health workers with access to digital learning and online knowledge resources for appropriate just-in-time information
- Broadening the reach of health workers through communication and coordination among peers, clients, managers, and experts around the world
