Joshua Sparks’ Post

I'm excited to share that I have accepted a position as Program Lead with the Digital Medicine Society (DiMe). After spending my career advancing research across human performance, metabolic and reproductive health, and digital medicine, I'm grateful for the opportunity to help shape the future of healthcare at the intersection of science, technology, and collaboration. At DiMe, I'll be leading multi-stakeholder initiatives focused on responsible artificial intelligence (AI), digital health technologies, digital measures, and the development of practical frameworks that help accelerate safe, effective, and equitable innovation across healthcare. What excites me most about this opportunity is the ability to work alongside leaders from academia, industry, government, patient advocacy organizations, and regulatory agencies to translate emerging science into real-world impact. This opportunity comes after a long and challenging career transition. I'm incredibly grateful to the DiMe team for believing in me throughout the process and for the confidence they've placed in me. I'm especially thankful to everyone who offered encouragement, mentorship, recommendations, and support along the way. I certainly didn't get here alone. I'm looking forward to contributing to DiMe's mission of advancing the safe, effective, and equitable use of digital medicine to improve health and healthcare worldwide. Here's to the next chapter!
