An applied higher-education institution focused on healthcare technology, public health, data science, behavioral medicine, health policy, population health, urban health, and sustainable wellbeing.
The American University of Healthcare Technology (AUHT) is located on North Academy Boulevard, Colorado Springs, Colorado, on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains — within a corridor known for health, education, technology, and innovation. Colorado Springs combines natural environment, urban vitality, and a strong culture of healthy living, providing a strong regional base for health-technology education, public-health research, digital-health innovation, and interdisciplinary talent development.
AUHT was founded in response to the global healthcare industry's rapid transformation and its growing demand for new kinds of professionals. The world today faces aging populations, rising chronic disease, public-health risks, digital transformation of medicine, AI applications, health inequities, urban-health challenges, and the broader challenge of sustainable wellbeing. Traditional single-discipline training models can no longer fully meet the needs of modern health systems.
AUHT is therefore building a future-oriented health-technology university that prepares applied, research-oriented, and leadership-capable professionals — people who understand clinical contexts, command data tools, hold a public-health perspective, respect ethics and compliance, and translate knowledge into practical outcomes.
Through high-quality, application-oriented, and interdisciplinary health-technology education and research, AUHT prepares professionals who can improve individual health, population health, healthcare quality, and social wellbeing. We integrate medical science, public health, data science, AI, behavioral science, policy and management, health equity, and sustainability — helping students and researchers solve real-world health problems and advance more equitable, efficient, intelligent, and human-centered systems.
To become an internationally engaged health-technology university with distinctive strengths in health data, public health, behavioral medicine, population health, health policy, healthy city science, and sustainable wellbeing — preparing innovative talent for the global health industry and public-health governance.
Health is shaped not only by healthcare institutions but by individuals, families, communities, cities, policy, and technology working together.
We embrace AI, data science, and digital health, while insisting that technology serve human dignity, patient safety, health equity, and social wellbeing.
We prepare students and researchers to design programs, analyze data, evaluate outcomes, recommend action, and drive real improvement.
In health data, human-subjects research, AI, public-health interventions, and health-services research, we uphold research ethics, privacy, integrity, and professional boundaries.
We bring medicine, nursing, public health, data science, management, psychology, urban studies, law, humanities, and sustainability together to address complex health challenges.
AUHT is a specialized university built for the future of the health industry and public health. Rather than following the traditional medical-school model, AUHT focuses on health technology, public health, health data, behavioral medicine, population health, health management, health policy, and interdisciplinary health research.
Coursework emphasizes real cases, hands-on projects, data analysis, policy briefs, dashboards, community assessments, behavior-change plans, capstone projects, and research reports — building a portfolio students can show.
We integrate health and public health with IT, AI, behavioral science, urban governance, policy, health economics, service design, ethics, and sustainability — preparing professionals for complex systems.
The University Research Center and its institutes support postdoctoral training, health-data research, applied epidemiology, lifestyle medicine, whole-person health, sustainable wellbeing, policy, and ethics work.
