About Us

A Digital Bridge between University Health and Student Wellness

The Chat Health Team

A non-profit run by students

Chat Health cares about our community. Through an empathy and technology-driven approach, we empower students to receive relevant health care on campus.

Our Mission

In 2020, over the span of 6 months, we developed a SMS text bot to bring real time COVID resources to 40,000 UMD community members. We plan to bring the same ideology into student facing and empathetic health technology, through our mobile app.

Our Values

Through empathetic and culturally-competent technology, Chat Health seeks to help college students, and especially first-generation and BIPOC students, access relevant health information and better connect with healthcare services on their university campuses.

Want To Support Our Cause?

Chat Health runs on volunteer work from students who wish to make a difference.
