Join Patient.info, Out Together and The Brunswick Centre for an engaging discussion exploring how we can ensure digital healthcare works for everyone.
This session will bring together voices from healthcare, technology, community organisations and digital inclusion to explore practical solutions to one of the biggest challenges facing health innovation.
Drawing on the experiences of organisations working directly with communities across West Yorkshire, we’ll explore how collaboration between the health, charity and technology sectors can help reduce inequalities and ensure nobody is left behind as healthcare becomes increasingly digital.
Topics will include:
- The relationship between digital exclusion and health inequalities.
- Designing digital products and services that are accessible and inclusive by default.
- The role of AI in healthcare – opportunity or risk?
- Supporting underserved communities, including LGBTQ+ communities, people living with HIV, older adults and those with lower digital confidence.
- Building trust in digital health services and information.
- Real-world examples of community-led digital inclusion initiatives and outreach programmes.
