Our Story

• The Beginning

  D-tree was founded in 2004 by Harvard pediatrician and digital health pioneer Dr. Marc Mitchell, who saw the vast potential for clinical decision support tools in the hands of frontline health workers to improve the way care is delivered, help them make better decisions and embed new and innovative methods to improve people’s health around the world.

• Evolution

  Over the last two decades as digital health has evolved from an innovative idea to an essential approach in achieving Universal Health Coverage, D-tree’s strategy has also developed. We have moved beyond developing apps in a specific technology platform, to becoming a complete digital health system partner to governments, from ideation to implementation– supporting them in the design, building and implementation of digital health programs that are built around people’s needs.

• Looking Forward

  Today, we’ve taken that work further than ever, from better individual decisions to digital solutions that transform healthcare at every level, from the community health worker to the Minister of Health. We have supported governments to scale digital health systems nationally, and built expertise in helping embed digital health at the policy level, to ensure sustainability. At our core, we’re always guided by our Founder Marc’s vision of better, more equitable healthcare — for people everywhere to have access to the care they need to live longer, healthier lives.
