The pandemic brought an almost overnight shift to virtual and digital healthcare delivery, but it also brought to light myriad inequities in vulnerable and hard to reach populations. This session will explore how telehealth can help us understand, engage with and provide care to the underserved communities that have had limited access. What are organizations doing to address and what are the tools for network capacity and infrastructure needed to help bridge the digital divide in tech and policy? What are the barriers in the industry’s way and what is large tech provider’s obligation in addressing the digital divide and making tech accessible to ensure no one is left behind?
