Never has there been more of an opportunity to leverage technology to propel the power of the patient and positively influence the future of healthcare. In partnership with OTRADI, OBI, and the Israel Consulate General to the Pacific Northwest, TAO’s hosted Day One of the Health Tech Summit featuring individuals and companies that are tackling the healthcare problems of tomorrow through the deployment of tech and innovation, in a way that can drive long-lasting, user-centric change.
SESSION ONE: DESIGN & EQUITY
It has been said that technology is the great equalizer in medicine, improving access for all. And that innovation, powered with human-centered design technology, process and people will have the greatest impact to achieve more equitable outcomes.
The rapid expansion during the pandemic allowed all to recognize the potential of telemedicine to improve equitable care delivery and access. But promising technological advances can also have unintended consequences such as perpetuating health and health care disparities for under-resourced populations.
Our first session for the second day of the Health Tech Summit was a virtual conversation featuring companies and organizations who are tackling the disparities in health care using modern technology-focused platforms to serve people’s individual needs with more consumer friendly, personalized experiences.
