Andy Murray becomes ambassador for digital health

(Scotland, UK) Murray’s involvement will raise awareness of the DHI’s work, as well as promoting skills and educational and career opportunities for young people.

The DHI’s project portfolio is worth over £4m and includes in excess of 100 projects involving more than 50 companies, 15 of Scotland’s universities, 25 third sector organisations and more than 1,000 members from over 20 nations.

Murray uses technology and data to improve his performance on court and has stated that maintaining his own health throughout the long tennis season is key to his success.

Speaking of his new role, Murray said: “My partnership with the DHI has come about because I am really interested in how digital technologies can improve health. I obviously have a personal interest in that area because anything that can improve my own health will only improve my performance on court. The work that DHI are doing is changing lives and solving some really important health and care challenges, at home and abroad, and I am proud to be supporting their work.” For the full article click here
