Our Mission

The history of the diffusion of medical technology demonstrates how small, inexpensive, and easily implemented innovations can save millions of lives around the world.

The work of the Healthcare Innovation and Technology Lab (HIT Lab) embodies this principle. We are dedicated to improving the global healthcare system by researching, teaching and publishing innovative, cost-effective technological methods and other tools. A cross-disciplinary, public health technology research group, we focus on a range of approaches including supporting access to information and services, and empowering patients with transformative clinical self-care technologies.

Together with grant sponsors, we are also exploring the trajectory of health information and communication technology over the next decade to determine its role in the healthcare ecosystem.

The HIT Lab is constantly growing and exploring new areas of research. We are always interested in having talented individuals join our team, collaborate with us, or support our work.
