How do we explode the myths that the underserved are not interested in access to their health information

With minority and underserved populations look at Mobile First solutions.

How much do we really understand the social determinants of Health?

What has been seen:
– Not everyone has smartphones
– adoption in using a portal is growing.
– Women are more engaged

  • Designing FOR and WITH the target audience yields better adoption
  • How do you engage the consumer to get them where THEY WANT to be.

Whether patient or Provider you have to engage them in design. When you do this adoption and culture change happens faster than you expect.

Visualization – less is not always more. Often people want more information.
