Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, digital health tools have proliferated as a way for consumers to access care virtually and monitor their health conditions at home. State and federal laws have been modified to expand care settings and enhance the accessibility of healthcare services. Digital health solutions, however, are still unavailable to large portions of the population, resulting in inequitable access to care that has, at times, been exacerbated by the digital health revolution. Key barriers to digital health adoption include digital literacy, inconsistent access to broadband and high-speed internet, lack of access to smartphones and cell service, and cultural competency.
In this episode of FemInnovation, host Bethany Corbin sits down with Priya Bathija, a nationally recognized healthcare leader, attorney, and policy expert, to explore how femtech founders can enhance digital health equity. This episode explores the fundamentals of digital health equity, why digital health equity is essential in today's healthcare landscape, the impact socioeconomic factors have on digital health tools and resources, successful strategies for improving access to digital health services, how founders can design their products with digital health equity in mind, and much more! Don't miss this exciting episode designed to help founders and digital health enthusiasts bridge the digital divide.
