Unlocking the Potential of Digital Health

Our mission is to advance digital health research and applications by fostering an accessible health ecosystem at the Stanford Byers Center for Biodesign.

We develop, implement, and investigate digital health solutions that improve health journeys. Our flagship project, Stanford Spezi, is an open-source framework for building modular, interoperable, and scalable digital health applications.
