Transforming great ideas into real solutions
The Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre (DHI) is a national resource and Innovation Centre funded by the Scottish Government and the Scottish Funding Council.
We are a collaboration between the Glasgow School of Art and the University of Strathclyde (our host institution).
Our focus is innovation in digital health and care will help the people of Scotland live longer, healthier lives, while providing sustainable and inclusive growth for our economy.
We collaborate, co-design and transform great ideas into real solutions that have benefits to the system and our citizens.
We provide engagement; facilitation; project management; and service, business, technical innovation to increase individual and organisation readiness to harness digital innovation for impactful results.
Our focus
We play a pivotal role in supporting collaboration to co-design person-centred digital health and care solutions across service, technical and business innovation.
We are shifting the balance of care from a traditional treatment focused model to one that focuses on prevention, detection, post event care and self-management.

Our portfolio aims to address the key challenges identified by the Scottish Government in health and care, with a current focus on:
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular
- Covid-19 (including service remobilisation)
- Chronic respiratory

- Demand & capacity management
- Diabetes
- Digital skills & workforce development
- Healthy Ageing
