Health TechQuity Conference
The same sensor that lets an older adult age at home can also watch her without consent. The same algorithm that gives a teenager faster access to care can also screen him out of it. Digital tools extend prevention and care, but they also extend surveillance and exclusion, unevenly. Most conversations about health technology pick one side of that tension. We’re putting both on the table at SJSU, in the heart of Silicon Valley.
Health TechQuity, now in its third year, builds cross-sector partnerships among thinkers, doers, and innovators: researchers who study health problems; practitioners and community organizations confronting health problems; and builders who create the technologies to solve problems. The goal is to ensure digital innovation is designed to eliminate health disparities, rather than hoping it gets there on its own.
Over two days, you will:
- Confront the tradeoffs. Examine where predictive analytics and telehealth improve equity, where they undermine it, and what design and policy choices tip the balance.
- Find your counterparts. Meet the thinkers, doers, and innovators whose work you need, and leave with a partner, not just a business card.
- See what’s coming. Get ahead of the fast-moving innovations shaping prevention, access, wellness, and treatment, and ask who they will serve before they scale.
Join us for keynotes, expert panels, and working sessions built for people who want to leave with something to do, not just something to think about.
