November 30, 2020 By Susannah Fox 8 Comments

Trust

I’d like to revive the spirit of the “What if health care…?” conversation, this time in the context of data and trust. What could we build with health data if we had people’s trust? How about: An algorithm to prevent suicide. An app to prevent addiction relapse. An app to help adolescents living with chronic […]
