About this Session:

Did you know that some patient populations are regularly excluded from the benefits of digital care? With app-based and password-protected technologies at the forefront of the digital health revolution, systematically disadvantaged populations and their traditionally lower digital literacy, smartphone ownership, and limited broadband access compared to the general population get left in the innovative dust. However, 97%+ of people own a cellphone as of 2020, and easily accessible SMS has shown to be an effective communication medium for patients of all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Here's your invitation to next-generation care delivery, where an analog-first patient engagement approach paired with a powerful digital care team platform mitigates bias, improves engagement and health outcomes, and closes the digital divide for populations at risk of health inequities.
