@Bru_Basile @McKinsey @antgrasso @LindaGrass0 Great piece, @Bru_Basile. We hope that #AI will be bringing an affordable and efficient way for people to get the health care they expect.

@abnermason @COVID19Tracking @BU_Tweets @TheAtlantic @vikbakhru @ConsejoSano_US @alikhan28 @megcalpav @ZeevNeuwirth @hagbomma @KelloggBHC Thanks for posting @abnermason. Yes, we can do it and we have to do better!

In today’s digital-first #healthcare landscape, having reliable access to the internet is crucial to being able to receive quality care. We have to consider the steps we need to take to make internet a basic right. https://t.co/oKBATkbGL0

“The rich have access to in-home care;
we can make it economical enough so that we can bring it to everyone.” .... I’m interested in knowing more about Axle Health. Has anyone used their services yet?

It’s promising to see the growth of #wearables across the
#Healthtech market. Especially for those with type 2 diabetes, this tech could make managing the disease more effective and easier.

Ensuring COVID-19 #vaccines stay at the optimal temperature is crucial, and new innovations into drone technology is making it possible for vaccines to be transported to clinics quickly. #Innovation https://t.co/K873lwrCjp

While #TeleMedicine continues to improve in quality, there still exists several financial and technological obstacles that prevents me of the most vulnerable communities from getting the access they need. https://t.co/0MRLuafpiP

[Ricardo R. Johnson @RicardoRJohnson]

In the current stage of the #VaccineRollout, much of the information and resources being distributed on how to get the vaccine is more accessible in certain communities, oftentimes leaving behind those in the most need. @HarvardChanSPH #SDoH https://t.co/cBsVgfnIDC

The future of #AI and machine learning applications in #healthcare is promising. Through these technologies, we may be able to make material progress in creating an industry that's more accessible, affordable, and transparent. @anis_uzzaman https://t.co/sgt8LK6JeC

@ResnickLR Indeed, the healthcare industry is definitely a significant market for investment at this time. I have been also seeing an uptick in employers rethinking traditional models of employee benefits & health insurance recently than ever. Great piece! Thanks for the share @ResnickLR.

[Ricardo R. Johnson @RicardoRJohnson]

It's definitely promising to see the rise of better #telemedicine, @RobertPearlMD. Patients are looking for more accessible and affordable care, and telemedicine can offer that. https://t.co/tlFmKL2hsP

[Ricardo R. Johnson @RicardoRJohnson]

While we haven't seen a lot of data on the effectiveness of the #vaccine distribution thus far, it seems that priority is being given to certain communities over others. @AlexSdelaGarza #SDoH #HealthEquity https://t.co/jYAOKEtSy8

[Ricardo R. Johnson @RicardoRJohnson]

Many in #healthcare have blind spots when it comes to certain populations. By training #AI to use patient reports instead of doctors', the pain experienced by these patients may be better accounted for. @tsimonite https://t.co/FIAfOzu3zQ

[Ricardo R. Johnson @RicardoRJohnson]

Health disparities typically result from two factors: inequitable care delivery and the impact of unmet social needs. Focusing on improving diversity in the health workforce, along with patients and wider community can help reduce disparities. #Healthcare https://t.co/CyyGkPqjHc

2021 could be the year we start to approach #healthcare from a digital-first mentality. From improving efficiency of care to expanding access to overlooked communities, #TeleHealth has the potential to transform our systems for the better. https://t.co/mTnLnZrQbg

[Ricardo R. Johnson @RicardoRJohnson]

For @HockeyCanada, wearable #HealthTech was the main line of defense against covid-transmission - and this tech has the potential to reduce viral spread in larger communities as well. #HealthcareTransformation https://t.co/k8xig5BkIj

[Ricardo R. Johnson @RicardoRJohnson]

Thanks for reporting, @mariaaspan. We have to prioritize reaching out to and educating our underserved communities if we want to make progress on reducing #SDoH and improving #HealthEquity in this country. https://t.co/baTbcw3sn9

[Ricardo R. Johnson @RicardoRJohnson]

I think what more people are realizing this year, is that in most cases, a #TeleHealth appointment is not only more convenient and accessible than physical appointments, but often provides the same level of quality care. https://t.co/VPUe4DxHdn

Great insights, @agastyasays. When leading through any kind of transformation or crisis situation, it's important to lean on your company's cultural values as much as you can. Reinforcing this positive culture helps your business move forward. https://t.co/ODbGeVFxbw
