Why Choose the NURTURe Program?

The Opportunity

Healthcare is being transformed by digital heath technologies.

Artificial intelligence, telehealth, mobile apps, wearable devices, remote monitoring, and smart health environments are creating new opportunities to improve prevention, health management, and care delivery.

The Challenge

Many promising technologies fail to reach the people who could benefit most due to challenges with design, adoption, and real-world implementation.

Achieving better health outcomes requires addressing the unique needs and challenges individuals accessing care and resources face.

The Solution

As trusted community-facing health professionals, nurses are best positioned to bridge the domains of digital health technology, implementation science, and compassionate care.

The NURTURe Program prepares nurse scientists to lead implementation-focused research to optimize digital health for all.

The Outcome

Fellows emerge with the skills to design, evaluate, and implement digital health solutions that improve health and well-being.

Equipped to lead across research, healthcare, and community settings, fellows are prepared to transform innovation into meaningful and lasting impact.
