How digital solutions will help close the health equity gap

EY Health Sciences & Wellness podcast series

In this episode, we delve into the global challenge of addressing health inequality with Dr. Yele Aluko, EY Chief Medical Officer, and Dr. David Rhew, Microsoft Chief Medical Officer. As experienced physicians, they share their passion for finding opportunities to provide health equity and discuss the root causes of disparities and how unbiased digital medicine can help. We learn that health care disparity starts much earlier than diagnosis and treatment, with low minority enrolment rates in clinical trials leading to results that don't reflect the population. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted health disparities across populations, and we need strategic insight from the health care value chain to identify healthcare gap and develop tactics and solutions that will close them. Join us as we discuss the evolution of medicine, the importance of inclusive clinical trials, and how digital solutions can help us close the healthcare gap.
