Our mission is to introduce digital health tools in hard-to- reach communities to solve difficult problems associated with chronic disease. The tools we support help people manage their chronic illness and promote a healthier life. The challenge we face is to overcome social and economic barriers that limit the utilization of revolutionary healthcare tools. HealthDesk overcomes these barriers through academic-community partnerships and a culture of communication and trust with participants to improve digital health literacy.
