The US healthcare system is a model of inefficiency on a massive, public scale. Despite healthcare expenditures topping $4T —closing in on 20% of US GDP—we consistently see disparities in quality of care and health outcomes across regions and subpopulations. One model estimates that health inequities will soon account for more than $1T in annual unnecessary spending.
The Downeast Digital Health Equity Innovation Forum will gather a cross-section of industry experts to explore overlooked and/or inefficiently serviced healthcare market segments. Current focus areas include supporting the overall digital innovation ecosystem, advancing digital tool accessibility, addressing birth equity, and promoting aging in place.
