Open-source digital platform company empowering frontline workers in low-resource settings worldwide

Dimagi, Inc. is a for-profit social enterprise and certified B Corporation headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, founded in 2002 by Vikram Sheel Kumar and Jonathan Jackson. The company builds open-source software technology designed for low-resource settings and underserved communities, with a mission of ensuring everyone has access to the services they need to thrive. It employs between 201 and 500 people and operates across multiple continents.

Dimagi's flagship product, CommCare, is the most widely deployed digital platform for enabling frontline workers, offering data collection, case management, and service delivery capabilities. It is backed by 100+ peer-reviewed publications and is compliant with HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2 standards. CommCare serves as the selected electronic national community health information system in 9 African countries representing over one-third of the continent's population, and operates across 21 US states and territories.

Beyond CommCare, Dimagi's portfolio includes Connect (linking funding to verified frontline service delivery), SureAdhere (a Video Directly Observed Therapy patient engagement platform), and Open Chat Studio. Hundreds of paying customers across 130+ countries use Dimagi's platforms, ranging from small NGOs to large multi-country organizations. The company received a $25 million Program-Related Investment from the Steele Foundation for Hope to accelerate its next-generation platform strategy.

Dimagi operates primarily in healthcare, public health, education, and agriculture, and also serves as a digital modernization partner for US state and local governments, with expertise in behavioral health and public health data systems. Innovations in frontline workforce enablement, community health information systems, or digital case management are directly relevant to Dimagi's core mission and expanding platform portfolio.

Ideas that could help Dimagi

Common-Factors Lay Counselor Training Kit
A structured, open-access curriculum and certification system that trains community health workers with no clinical degree to deliver Frank's core therapeutic principles—therapeutic alliance, hope instillation, shared healing narrative—in low-resource or disaster-affected settings.
Why it helps: Dimagi builds CommCare, the world's leading mobile platform for community health workers; bundling a Frank-based training curriculum into their platform would create a differentiated mental health module for their existing global customer base.
