Pauline Nuth

Pauline is a Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) student at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and she is passionate about digital health, healthcare innovation, and social impact. Most recently, Pauline worked at Stanford Health Care as a product manager on two digital health teams(Digital Health Care Integration and Stanford Emerging Apps Lab), where she led the design, implementation, and scale of digital health products and services. Before Stanford, Pauline spent four years at Lumniopia (an early-stage startup founded at Harvard), pioneering a new class of digital therapeutics using virtual reality (VR) technology. As their Digital Health Strategist, later transitioning to Product Manager, she closely collaborated with business, engineering, design, and clinical stakeholders to build an unrivaled product and patient experience that led to strong treatment compliance and clinical outcomes. These efforts culminated in a groundbreaking success, with their product receiving FDA de novo approval as a first-of-its-kind digital therapeutic in 2021.

Pauline is also the founder of Tiny Catalyst, a grassroots initiative utilizing a social innovation approach to explore, design, and implement tiny initiatives that serve as a catalyst for huge impact. The first project, Social Impact Fellowship Program, was launched in Summer 2020 and aimed to help close the “opportunity gap” in higher education and career readiness for underrepresented undergraduates, an issue further exacerbated by the economic impacts of COVID-19. In May 2022, she was recognized for this work and received the 2022 UCSD Emerging Leaders Alumni Award.

Pauline is originally from California. Pauline has an MPH in Health Policy & Management from the Boston University School of Public Health. Also, she has dual degrees of BS in Biology and BA in Economics from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). She is interested in exploring the power technology holds to build scalable solutions to address entire populations where current modes of diagnosis, treatment, and social and health care delivery fail due to poor experiences, poor outcomes, or prohibitive costs. Upon completing the DrPH Program, Pauline plans to pursue a leadership position to pioneer scalable socio-technical solutions that deliver better health and wellbeing outcomes for all populations.
