Better health through
people & technology
CWPHS (pronounced “Sea Whiffs”) is a center of excellence with the mission to connect, translate, and synthesize efforts in human-centered digital health.
Our Values
S Systems over reduction
We embrace the complexity of systems and manage via modeling and modularity.
P Person over patient
We honor the many identities, roles, strengths, and capacities of each person.
A Agile over linear
We manage uncertainty through iteration, triangulation, and efficient use of methods.
N Network over hierarchy
We work with others and consciously embrace diversity, equity, and inclusiveness.
