Enter NODE.Health—the Network of Digital Evidence.
We are the non-profit, professional association for digital medicine, focused on creating, gathering, and disseminating the evidence and best practices needed to facilitate digital transformation in healthcare. By creating an ecosystem of evidence, we serve as the catalyst that makes disruptive innovation actionable, sustainable and beneficial—for everyone involved.
A Message from Brian Van Winkle, Executive Director
By now I hope you’ve heard the story about how NODE.Health was formed. A small gathering of innovation officers and passionate people banding together to help each other make change. We gathered in conference rooms, hallways and coffee shops – each frustrated by lack of change but inspired by our belief in the cause, and in each other.
It is with a fond heart that we look back on our past as we look toward our future and focus on our vision, to build a healthier world through the realized potential of digital medicine. We believe we have never been better positioned to do just that. We’ve come a long way since our small coffee shop gatherings as we welcome in the new year. But in order to know where we are going, it’s important to know where we’ve been.
In 2017 we hosted our first conference, which welcomed a few dozen people. It was intimate and allowed us to focus on practical matters, in small workshops targeting a problem. During Digital Medicine Conference 2020 last month, we welcomed 600+ people from around the world, and featured renowned speakers equally as diverse. We conducted 40+ highly substantive sessions, free from the typical fanfare that celebrates the trendiness of innovation. We focused on evidence, but we kept that small intimate feel, encouraging networking and sharing, while still facilitating those same small workgroups dedicated to advancing ideas.
Finally, in 2020 we saw a need for evidence-based education, believing there was a gap in medical and professional curriculums that did not empower and equip our emerging or existing workforce with fundamental concepts in digital medicine, evidence and transformation. So, we established an educational program and offered our first course, the NODE.Health Digital Medicine Foundation Certificate Course, which shared best practices and lessons learned from an incredible faculty along with materials and references from credible sources across the industry. We welcomed 150 global students in our first offering and were blown away by the feedback with reactions like “Inspiring”, “Energizing”, and “Phenomenal!”.
A registered 501c3 non-profit organization, we help healthcare organizations realize the benefits of digital medicine faster and with less risk by creating, gathering, and sharing clinical evidence and best practice
