Expanding Knowledge. Improving Health.
AN INITIATIVE FROM THE
Access to health education is a human right.
The World Health Organization reports that trained and supported community health workers could prevent 3 million annual child deaths worldwide. However, many medically-underserved communities lack access to health worker education as well as general public health education.
At Digital Medic, we are committed to reaching health workers and communities worldwide with accurate, timely, and understandable health information. We work to build capacity for the global health workforce, increase health-promoting behaviors, and improve health outcomes.
What We Do
Education Design
We help identify high-need health topics and employ human-centered design principles to create relevant, actionable, and enjoyable learning experiences.
Global Collaboration
We partner with non-governmental organizations, governmental bodies, and communities to co-create, distribute and evaluate digital health education content.
Impact Evaluation
We measure the impact of digital health education initiatives and continuously iterate based on our findings. We are a collaborative learning lab and share research to promote global advances in digital health education.

A case study on “glocalization”: In late 2021, we translated four evidence-based COVID-19 educational videos into five Southeast Asian languages.

We are really thankful for your partnership and openness, openness in terms of content to ensure there is alignment...the open relationship to be able to say ‘this needs tweaked here’. It’s really co-creation.
