Why digital inclusion is vital for health and social care innovators

Description

Digitally-enabled health and care has the potential to transform the sector and improve access, outcomes and experience for the population. However, it can also exacerbate and perpetuate health inequalities for those that are, or may become, digitally excluded for a variety of reasons.

In health and care we are already seeing the benefits of digital transformation, but how do we ensure we don’t exclude the people who most need to access these services, now, and in the future? This digital inclusion webinar will help the health and care system and industry partners understand and start to tackle this challenge.

Key topics covered:

• Why digital inclusion is a priority for health and care

• Barriers and enablers to digital inclusion

• What innovators can do to help make their products more inclusive
