Digital Health Strategies
Digital Health Strategies is a Washington, DC-based healthcare data and technology company that helps hospitals and health systems grow what it calls their Share of Health. Its AI-powered platform identifies the existing patients, donors, and plan members most likely to benefit from a service, then activates them through personalized communications wired into clinical and operational workflows - closing care gaps, lifting service-line volume, growing membership, and raising philanthropic dollars. Founded in 2014 by John Simpson and Ben Texter, both alumni of Blue State Digital, the firm works with leading systems including Johns Hopkins, Geisinger, Providence, Scripps, and Hackensack Meridian Health.
