Description

Social Determinants of Health Innovation Challenge

Can you develop a digital solution to help providers and/or patients connect to services related to social determinants of health?

Social determinants of health (SDoH) such as education, employment, transportation, and community and social norms, can have critical impacts on well-being. However, these factors are often overlooked and excluded in established health care frameworks. Technology has the potential to improve how we address ongoing care delivery by utilizing SDoH information to provide targeted, personalized, and comprehensive care that accounts for the drivers of health in communities.

 

Home & Community Based Care Innovation Challenge

Can you create a technology that supports the advancement of at-home or community-based health care?

Digital solutions empower consumers and providers to actively engage in managing and improving health outside of traditional clinical systems. New technologies provide convenient, affordable, and comfortable care within homes and communities. This movement can greatly support individuals of all ages across a variety of geographies. However, despite these benefits, the US continues to use mostly institution-based care models. Cultural shifts and more innovation is required to give individuals, caregivers, and providers the tools they need to address healthy living within the home and community.
