Associate, RockHealth.org
About RockHealth.org:
RockHealth.org equips digital health innovators with the resources, reach, and recognition they need to create an equitable digital health future for all. RockHealth.org is the sister non-profit organization of Rock Health Inc.—a venture fund and advisory services firm that invests in and advises ventures in the digital health space.
Context on RockHealth.org:
A decade ago, Rock Health’s nonprofit arm activated the digital health field by building a series of vibrant, interconnected events (i.e., Rock Health Summit, Digital Health CEO Summit, etc.). These events advanced the field’s understanding of cross-cutting ideas and laid the foundation of a vibrant, interconnected, and inclusive digital health community. Since 2011, digital health has seen sustained growth spanning from heightened levels of innovation, venture investment, and broader ecosystem activity. In short, there are more innovative ventures, more investment capital flooding into the market, and an outsized opportunity to make healthcare massively better for all. Alongside this growth, the field is actively considering how digital health can expand its reach and impact by engaging an increasingly diverse array of people. To explore and address these emerging questions, RockHealth.org is working to expand its vision and impact to ensure that equity is centered in and across the field of digital health.
