A person’s overall health and health outcomes are partly shaped by non-medical factors like the conditions in which they are born, grow, live, work and age. These non-medical factors are called social determinants of health (SDOH), and understanding them is key to achieving health equity for underserved populations. Join Mike Boese, Vice President and On-Shore Lead, Data Science & AI/ML, and Rahul Ghate, Head of Worldwide Partner Development for Healthcare and Life Sciences Data Analytics at Amazon Web Services, as they discuss how artificial intelligence (AI) applications can be leveraged to improve access to healthcare for these underserved populations.
You’ll learn more about:
- The associations between lack of healthcare knowledge and population health
- The use of AI applications to analyze how SDOH relate to healthy environmental conditions
- How universal health coverage can improve health outcomes and reduce health inequities
