One of the Leadership in Digital Health Initiative’s first projects is the AHN Chip Challenge. The competition asks application developers and IT professionals to design a wearable device or app that allows patients to scan updated health information into Allegheny’s EHR system.

Another Leadership in Digital Health Initiative focus is telemedicine. Allegheny plans to develop a digital health and informatics education program for emergency medicine residents, including a graduate medical education course for residents, physicians and mid-level providers.
