The Digital Health Maven Project

Digital Health Mavens: Inspiring Doers Changing Health
 

The primary goal of the Digital Health Maven Project is to develop a global cadre of medical professionals, health executives, entrepreneurs and others who have the knowledge, confidence and skills to innovate successfully using digital technologies.

One the ways achieve this objective is by highlighting leaders in digital health who can inspire others via their stories, achievements, setbacks and victories. These are individuals we call digital health mavens.

Digital health mavens are people who accept responsibility for the work they do, welcome the future (despite its uncertainty) and devote themselves to teaching and guiding others. Their inner drive, persistence and passion enables them to profoundly influence health and wellbeing within a single clinic or on a global scale using a mix of digital and analog innovations.

They also share one or more of the following five traits:

• Cultivate curiosity
• Pursue insights about digital health
• Put humans (customers, patients) first
• Embrace flexibility (willingness to change direction)
• Practice bravery (by running toward, rather than away from, innovation and novelty)

Futurist, strategist and researcher Fard Johnmar has conducted more than 20 hours of interviews with digital health mavens to help you understand why they are successful and what makes them tick. View the gallery below to learn about the mavens he has interviewed. Then scroll down this page to:
