Digital Medicine Society (DiMe)

Helping DOs Identify Trusted Digital Health Software

  • Self-Attestation Process: Developers complete a structured self-evaluation to measure their software against the DiMe Seal framework.

    Comprehensive Criteria: The evaluation spans four key areas—evidence, usability, privacy, and security—with equity embedded throughout.

    Expert-Guided Framework: Built on insights from 150+ industry leaders and an independent governance committee, the framework evolves with industry standards.

    Only digital health software products that meet the evaluation platform’s stringent criteria receive the DiMe Seal—giving DOs peace of mind when integrating new tools into their practice.

  • The DiMe Seal is the benchmark for quality and trust in digital health software products (DHSPs). Developed by the Digital Medicine Society (DiMe) in collaboration with industry leaders, the DiMe Seal is awarded to DHSPs that demonstrate performance against a comprehensive framework of standards and best practices in evidence, usability, privacy, and security with equity woven throughout..

    By earning the DiMe Seal, digital health software products demonstrate their commitment to responsible development, transparency, and real-world impact—helping DOs and their care teams confidently select tools that support patient-centered, high-quality care.

  • Without clear, commonly accepted benchmarks for quality and trustworthiness, organizations face unnecessary complexity and risk when choosing digital health software. For DOs looking to adopt digital health tools with confidence, the DiMe Seal provides:

    • Defining what 'good' looks like – establishing a clear baseline for quality digital health software.

    • Building market trust – enabling healthcare organizations, payors, and clinicians to confidently identify software that meets best practices.

    • Supporting innovation – helping developers differentiate their high-quality solutions in a crowded marketplace.

As strategic partners of the DiMe Seal, we are working to ensure that osteopathic physicians have access to digital health software products that are built for quality and trust, aligning with the highest standards of care.
