Description

The COVID crisis underscored many cracks in our healthcare system, a system with longstanding inequities. It also showed us how interconnected we are, and that we can make powerful change when we work together to improve community health. The focus of this session is to explore the technology that will help close gaps in access to health care, especially for underserved communities. In fact, it's already happening.   We'll talk with Comcast about their digital health platform that offers personalized and interactive health journeys to consumers and their caregivers - transforming the way connected devices (IoT, etc.) and home monitoring can support home health care.   We’ll talk with Walmart about how they are bringing health equity to its communities by leveraging business capabilities and bringing whole systems of change to improve health outcomes.  Discover how leading companies and community organizations are taking meaningful action to bridge this gap, using technology to connect more people to the care they need.

Jimmy Etheredge (CEO – North America, Accenture) and Emmanuel Acho (FS1 Sports Analyst, former NFL Linebacker, and NYT Bestselling Author & Host, "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man"), co-host Change Conversations. This podcast is about navigating business and life during a time of great technological and cultural upheaval, while creating a more equitable workplace – and a better world. Now, more than ever, business and community leaders are well-positioned to drive important and lasting change, creating a movement, not just a moment. Etheredge is committed to accelerating equality for all and showing businesses and people how to use their platforms and privilege to drive profound and purposeful change. He’s inspired by how Emmanuel is helping our country confront racism through his popular YouTube show and book, Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man. In Change Conversations, Jimmy and Emmanuel have unfiltered conversations with inspiring guests who are purpose-driven leaders, challenging us to step up, think differently, and make the kind of change that really matters – change to shape a more equitable future.
