This session is part of the New Frontiers in Precision Population Health & Health Equity Series.

Across the globe, we are plagued by significant health inequalities: low-income populations suffer from many more health issues than wealthier populations, and profound racial inequalities persist, amplified, and reinforced by the COVID-19 pandemic. The New Frontiers in Precision Population Health and Health Equity Seminar Series aims to bring together public health professionals, policymakers, academics, and industry collaborators to explore how a precision population approach can be utilized to advance health equity for marginalized populations.

While precision medicine has significantly advanced patient care, reducing health disparities at the population level requires a precision population approach. This approach must leverage big data, AI, and digital innovations to create very targeted population health policies and interventions that can dramatically improve the health of underserved communities.
