# Digital Health

> Digital health companies apply data science, machine learning, and connected devices to clinical care, population health management, and pharmaceutical evidence generation. The industry recruits from a wide range of academic disciplines — clinical informatics, epidemiology, biostatistics, and human-computer interaction — that are predominantly trained in university hospitals and public-health programs. Companies like Flatiron Health and Aetion have built their core real-world evidence platforms on methodologies originally developed in academic health economics and pharmaco-epidemiology. Academic intelligence helps digital health firms identify clinical researchers who are publishing on specific disease areas, EHR phenotyping methods, or wearable-sensor validation before those researchers transition to industry or get locked into competing partnerships, enabling faster and more targeted business development.
