The Connected Health Collaborative Community (CHcc)

Connected health transforms traditional care by integrating technology to support wellness, prevention, and chronic disease management at home. Addressing challenges like device interoperability empowers patients to maintain health outside clinical settings while reducing costs tied to chronic conditions and physical inactivity. It also advances real-world data collection for clinical trials and aligns with preferences like aging in place.

The Connected Health Collaborative Community (CHcc), is co-hosted by the Digital Medicine Society (DiMe) and Consumer Technology Association (CTA) with UMass Chan Medical School’s Program in Digital Medicine as the founding Impact Sponsor. It unites a diverse set of stakeholders across consumer electronics, medical devices, and government to reimagine a system and address the fragmentation in connected health across the healthcare system. 

Based on trustworthy data, information, and interventions, we use interdisciplinary expertise, research, and case studies to develop and demonstrate best practices and advance harmonized approaches to speed the ethical, effective, equitable, and safe use of connected health to improve lives – for everyone.
