Digital Health, Innovation & Health Equity Workshop
Thursday, December 14, 2023 | 8:30 AM - 1:00 PM PST
1840 Gateway Drive, 3rd Floor,
San Mateo, CA 94404
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The proliferation of digital health technologies (DHTs) and artificial intelligence & machine learning (AI/ML) has rapidly increased in recent years, partly spurred by the covid-19 pandemic. This increased role of DHTs and AI/ML in healthcare presents a unique opportunity for advancement and innovation; however, also poses equity challenges as health disparities still plague the US healthcare system. Advantages of technology in healthcare include increased preventative measures, health education, improved detection and intervention, and increased patient engagement. However, the presence of coded bias, which describes the bias within tools, algorithms, and artificial intelligence that discriminate against already marginalized patient groups, may limit the scalability and impact of these innovations to improve the health of US communities. This workshop brings together digital health and technology experts, providers, health equity professionals, healthcare executives, investors, and researchers, to discuss the intersection of innovation, technology, and health equity. Building upon discussion from CHI’s 11th Annual Diversity, Inclusion, & Health Equity Symposium, this Workshop will foster a collaborative, engaging, and highly interactive exchange of ideas and information on digital health equity.
