Digital Healthcare Collaborative

Do you want to be ahead of the curve in digital healthcare? Do you need to discuss ideas with other thought leaders outside your company? Do you want to know what patients will want in the future? If so, you should join the digital healthcare collaborative.

What is the digital healthcare collaborative?

The digital healthcare collaborative (DHC) is a collection of thought leaders from Pharmaceutical Manufacturers, Solutions Providers, Medical Systems and Health Insurance Companies conducting several rounds of research as part of an innovation process.  We focus on the future of patient/population experiences and engagement solving for the next 2-5 years.  The real strength of the group is that we are trying to solve a common problem and are not limited to the lens of one company.  The collaborative provides:

  • Thought leadership: We interact with experience strategy and design experts. We challenge your assumptions; we share new paradigms.
  • Collaboration: You accomplish more through collaboration; you work with talented people in other companies; we use innovation processes.
  • Consumer research: We gain insights from a large consumer sample and do deep insight and co-creation work to help you shape your ideas.

We focus on the near-term future of experiences and engagement.  We will help you discover and uncover new, universal principles for delivering meaningful healthcare experiences. This year’s challenge is creating meaningful experiences for now and going forward including digital and virtual delivery. We are providing more linkage between the consumer and healthcare collaboratives.  We have 4 tracks, and members can follow as many of the tracks as the want:

This is the planned schedule for 2020-2021.  You can see for each season: the Research we will conduct, the Deliverables we will provide, and the Outcomes we anticipate.  We are seating new members at any point across the year; however, those involved earlier will shape the groups’ year-long plans.

We are just about to kick-off the first set of meetings, so let us know if you want to join. You can jump in at any time during the year-long endeavor (following an academic year) and we can get you up-to-speed on things that you missed.
