Chief Digital Health Officer (CDHO) Programme
The Chief Digital Health Officer (CDHO) Programme is a premier executive learning programme offered by Indian Institute of Management Raipur in collaboration with Academy of Digital Health Sciences. The programme is designed to develop future-ready healthcare leaders capable of driving digital transformation across healthcare systems, hospitals, public health organizations, and health-tech enterprises.
In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare ecosystem, digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Electronic Health Records (EHR), Telemedicine, Health Analytics, Digital Health Management, Innovation & Strategic Thinking, and Digital Health Platforms are reshaping healthcare delivery and management. The CDHO Programme equips healthcare professionals, administrators, policymakers, and industry leaders with strategic, technological, and managerial competencies required to lead this transformation effectively. The programme offers a multidisciplinary learning experience that combines healthcare management, digital innovation, data-driven decision-making, health informatics, digital health policies, and emerging technologies. Participants will gain practical insights into designing, implementing, and managing digital health initiatives aligned with national and global healthcare priorities.
Delivered through a flexible asynchronous learning model with recorded sessions by eminent faculty members, industry experts, and digital health practitioners, the programme enables working professionals to learn at their own pace while continuing their professional commitments.
