Driving digital innovation in cancer care through CancerX

In February 2023, CancerX was announced by The White House Cancer Moonshot as a public-private partnership to boost innovation in the fight against cancer. At this time, CancerX was co-hosted by the Moffitt Cancer Center and DiMe, alongside the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy/Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ASTP/ONC) and Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH).

Since then, CancerX has grown tremendously and driven meaningful impact. The community now has more than 150 member organizations, successful projects and resources, and so much more. We are incredibly proud of all that we accomplished together.

Moffitt Cancer Center is now the single host of CancerX, and we are honored to have co-hosted CancerX and built it up alongside them and our federal partners.

Our work as a CancerX co-host

During DiMe’s tenure as a co-host of CancerX, we proudly contributed to leading these projects and resources alongside Moffitt Cancer Center and CancerX members.

Cancer is a data-driven illness and merging data assets across different sectors is an essential step to fighting this terrible disease. CancerX Data Sprint aims to do just that: collaborate with the federal government and industry to build comprehensive real-world datasets in a way that’s never been done before in oncology.

Digital innovation holds promise to reduce health disparities in access and cost and this set of open-access resources helps health systems and their partners address barriers to implementing digital health tools in cancer care and research.
