PATHS Earns Prestigious DiMe Seal, Setting a New Standard for Trust and Quality in Digital Health Navigation

AUBURN, AL – July 30, 2025 – PATHS, a leading patient-centered healthcare platform dedicated to streamlining care planning and enhancing patient engagement, today announced it has been awarded the distinguished DiMe Seal by the Digital Medicine Society (DiMe). This significant achievement positions PATHS as a verified, high-quality solution in the rapidly evolving digital health landscape, assuring patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers of its commitment to excellence.

The DiMe Seal is a rigorous evaluation workflow designed by the Digital Medicine Society, a global non-profit and the professional home for digital medicine. It is awarded to digital health software products that demonstrate performance against a comprehensive framework of standards and best practices across critical domains: evidence, usability, privacy, security, and equity.

“The digital health landscape is rapidly expanding, and with that growth comes the critical need for clear, unbiased markers of quality and trustworthiness. The DiMe Seal is designed to simplify the complex process of identifying high-quality digital health products,” said Doug Mirsky, Vice President, Digital Medicine Society. “PATHS earning the DiMe Seal is a powerful testament to their dedication to building a solution that truly meets the highest standards of responsibly made software. This achievement provides essential confidence to patients, caregivers, and providers navigating their health journeys.”

"Earning the DiMe Seal is a testament to PATHS unwavering commitment to building a truly trustworthy and impactful platform for holistic care navigation," said Kermit Farmer, PATHS Founder and CEO. "In a crowded digital health market, the DiMe Seal provides a clear, independent validation of our product's quality, giving our users and partners the confidence that PATHS is not just innovative, but also safe, effective, and built with their needs at the forefront."

Why the DiMe Seal is a Critical Differentiator in Digital Health:

The digital health market is experiencing explosive growth, with hundreds of thousands of health apps available. This abundance, while offering potential, also creates a significant challenge for users, providers, and payers to identify high-quality, trustworthy solutions. The DiMe Seal addresses this challenge directly by:

1. Building Trust and Credibility: The DiMe Seal serves as a universally recognized symbol of quality and reliability. For patients and caregivers, it provides assurance that PATHS has been rigorously evaluated and meets stringent industry standards for safety, efficacy, and ethical design. For healthcare systems and providers, it simplifies the complex process of vetting digital tools, reducing the time and resources typically spent on due diligence.
   
2. Enhancing Market Position: In a highly competitive environment, the DiMe Seal differentiates PATHS by showcasing its adherence to industry best practices. This independent verification signals to potential adopters – from individual users to large healthcare organizations – that PATHS is a leader committed to the highest standards.
   
3. Accelerating Adoption: With the DiMe Seal, PATHS can accelerate its adoption among end-users and healthcare providers who are actively seeking verified, trustworthy tools. This reduces the inherent risk associated with integrating new technologies and fosters greater confidence in the platform's ability to improve health outcomes.
   
4. Promoting Comprehensive Quality: Unlike evaluations that focus on a single criterion (e.g., just privacy or security), the DiMe Seal assesses products across multiple, interconnected domains. This holistic approach ensures that products like PATHS are not only secure and private, but also clinically effective, user-friendly, and designed with equity and accessibility in mind.
   
5. Driving Evidence-Based Innovation: The DiMe Seal's emphasis on clinical evidence encourages developers to build solutions that are backed by data and demonstrate real-world benefits. This aligns with the broader industry push towards value-based care and ensures that digital health tools contribute meaningfully to patient well-being.
   
   

PATHS' platform acts as a digital care compass, guiding patients through their healthcare journey with personalized instructions and enabling providers with real-time insights. By achieving the DiMe Seal, PATHS reinforces its commitment to empowering patients and caregivers with a solution that is not only innovative but also meets the highest benchmarks for quality and trust in digital medicine.
