​                                                             Investment Evaluation Intelligence​

​Working with a world renowned expert on Artificial and Decision Intelligence, the DigitalDx Ventures I, L.P. team has internally developed an investment decision-making model called the Investment Tool for Expert Diagnostics ("iTED") to capture all relevant factors in evaluating potential investments, encourage greater adherence to key principles of successful outlier companies, and create discipline to aid in the consistency and scalability of analysis.

​iTED includes key social impact elements such as: 

• The diversity of company executive teams and board members;
• The scale of the health problem addressed (i.e., how many people affected) because DigitalDx Ventures I, L.P. is focused on large population problems; and 
• Whether the solution is comparably less invasive, which results in reduced regulatory requirements, lower costs and, by extension, more accessible healthcare.

Fund Focus

DigitalDx Ventures I, L.P. is a majority woman-owned emerging manager fund comprised of a team of successful Silicon Valley digital health investors and medical professionals leveraging AI and big data technologies to address major global health issues (such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular health, infection management, and mental health) with a particular focus on:
​

1. Enabling early detection                         
2. Minimizing invasiveness           

3. Expanding access to treatment
​ (through lowered costs)

​
​To date over 50% of DigitalDx I, L.P. investments have women as Founders or in the C-Suite, and to ensure that we continue to capture the benefits that such diversity offers, we intend to maintain (at least) that percentage.
