Championing Digital Health Equity

A little girl sits on a bed and holds a cell phone up to her ear.

At IDHA, we are transforming healthcare access through innovative technology and community-driven solutions.

Our approach 

We equip teams at Boston Children’s Hospital with actionable data and cutting-edge technology to implement comprehensive digital health equity initiatives. Our “techquity” standards transform patient and family insights into inclusive and accessible digital health services.

Focus areas

While we address many potential barriers to care, the following areas represent key indicators of the digital divide and are priorities:

  • Broadband access
    • Ensuring reliable and affordable internet connectivity for all communities we serve.
  • Digital Literacy
    • Empowering our patients and families with skills and confidence to access care through digital platforms.
  • Multilingual Design and support
    • Creating inclusive digital experiences across diverse languages and cultures.

As the digital health landscape rapidly evolves, we remain committed to taking consistent, deliberate steps toward a more inclusive future. By amplifying community voices and proactively assessing the impact of new technologies, we continue to advocate for meaningful change in digital health equity at Boston Children's Hospital and beyond.
