Social Determinants of Health
Social determinants of health are the overall living conditions of people that impact their healthcare and well-being. These factors include income, education, housing, access to food, transportation, and access to medication, which influence a person’s ability to stay healthy. These conditions often have a great impact on long-term outcomes. Understanding and addressing social determinants helps to create better healthcare systems.
The Problem
Many individuals face barriers to health and well-being that extend far beyond medical care. Challenges with social determinants of health make it difficult for people to find and use the support available to them. These social determinants of health are all interconnected, but existing resources are separated, hard to find, or not known to those who need them. Therefore, people struggle to access help, leading to preventable inequalities in people's health and healthcare.
Our Solution
We use AI to connect individuals with organizations and resources that can help address social determinants of health. By incorporating people's location we tailor recommendations to services located near each person, ensuring support is accessible and relevant. Our platform also matches individuals with organizations that specifically address the challenges they are experiencing. Through this approach, people are better able to access the care and support they need to improve their overall well-being.
