This is actually really, really interesting. Take a look at a multi-faceted growth platform with massive amounts of built-in consumer data incorporating DEI functionality to both understand your market, your customers and even your employees. Then do a better job of building out more diverse target audiences and add in the ability to run marketing automation right out of the platform. Really smart.

"The U.S. continues to be in a class by itself in the underperformance of its health care sector." Mirror, Mirror 2024 is the Commonwealth Fund’s eighth report comparing the performance of health systems in selected countries. They examine five key domains of health system performance: access to care, care process, administrative efficiency, equity, and health outcomes. Health equity is a massive opportunity. Top-down approaches like new CMS reimbursement codes are providing excellent incentives. Bottoms-up approaches include startups designing specific health outcome improvements for target populations. Investors: If you're not investing in improving healthcare, you're overlooking a market that represents 20% of the US GDP!

Investors can play a pivotal role in advancing health equity by strategically deploying artificial intelligence (AI) solutions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). With 80% of the global population residing in these regions and facing disparate healthcare access, AI technologies can bridge the gap by enhancing diagnostic capabilities, streamlining healthcare delivery, and optimizing resource allocation. By investing in scalable and culturally sensitive AI solutions, investors can contribute to more affordable and accessible healthcare solutions tailored to the unique challenges of LMICs. This not only addresses immediate healthcare needs but also creates long-term value by fostering sustainable and inclusive healthcare ecosystems. As investors prioritize impact-driven initiatives, the integration of AI in healthcare becomes a catalyst for positive change, aligning financial goals with the imperative to improve global health equity.

A new report from EY has revealed that 65% of healthcare organisations have had a positive return on health equity efforts, and 83% have seen improved health outcomes. It's great to see how #HealthEquity initiatives are starting to deliver value for health industry organizations and patients alike. Yet, while examples of progress in the report are substantial - there is much more work to be done individually and collaboratively to address the full set of clinical and social needs that underserved populations face.

We have witnessed the race after profits during Covid be it from Pharmaceutical companies or opportunists with the capacity to lobby. It’s time for both private enterprises and public entities in the heath industry to cater more for health equity (people) than gor anything else! …..The need to balance people and profit has always been a challenge for the pharmaceutical industry, but companies are now under increasing pressure to recognize their responsibility in the fight for global health equity. At the same time, with the rise of environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations in investment processes, companies that don’t focus on making a positive impact on people and the planet will lose out. The rise of ESG has not been without controversies and complexities, and ESG frameworks are still currently far from perfect. But the recalibration of value beyond financial metrics has seen more and more investors expecting pharmaceutical companies to demonstrate commitment to building sustainable business models.

Investors hold a transformative role in advancing global health equity, especially in low- and middle-income countries where access to healthcare remains uneven. Harnessing the power of technology presents a significant avenue for catalyzing positive change in this regard. Strategic investments in digital health solutions, telemedicine infrastructure, and innovative health technologies can bridge gaps, democratize access to quality healthcare, and improve overall health outcomes. By leveraging technology to enhance healthcare delivery, investors not only address disparities but also create sustainable value. This approach aligns financial objectives with social impact, showcasing that technological innovation can be a driving force in bolstering health equity on a global scale. As investors embrace these opportunities, they contribute not only to the well-being of underserved populations but also to the resilience and viability of their investment portfolios in the evolving landscape of healthcare and technology.

Health equity and the #digitaldivide are two topics that are finally receiving more attention, but even as we make progress toward equity in some areas, we remain stagnant, or even slip backward in others. Ironically, some of what concerns me the most here is the increasing push toward #virtual-first #healthcare delivery and increased use of #AI in healthcare, which in some ways can be a great boon for access. The problem is that even as these tools improve, millions of people, many of them #olderadults and people with disabilities, may not have access to them, and therefore be stopped at the "front door" of care more than, not less than, they were before. As programs like the #ACP sunset, and millions of Americans lose their financial subsidies to access the internet and wireless services, even more people may lose streamlined access to their healthcare, let alone access to employment postings and other critical services. On the #AI side, we need to pay particular attention to #bias that can unknowingly make its way into these tools and be hard to detect until it is already creating a disparity. Internationally, the medical device community is discussing the use of predetermined change control plans (#PCCPs) as a way of managing certain device changes where regulatory authorization before marketing is typically required, but more broad-based work here is needed. As a 30-year technologist, I remain optimistic that with careful planning and investment in efforts to bridge the digital divide and track health equity transparently and publicly, the net effect #technology has on #healthcare will be positive, but it will be reports like the below, public-private partnerships and ongoing bipartisan commitment to and large-scale investment in the outcomes that will help us hold ourselves accountable, remove #financial barriers, and help close the gaps along the way. #healthequity #health #agetech #insurance #medicaid #partnerships
