Live at HLTH: Techquity and Community Work —featuring Theresa Demeter The Beat

Let’s talk about health equity and quality of care since they are two sides of the same coin.

In this episode, Theresa Demeter, Managing Director at Tegria, talks about how healthcare should approach technology solutions that address equity by working directly with some communities. As great as it is for health equity and “techquity” to be the buzzwords at the HLTH conference, Theresa believes it’s essential to acknowledge that technology can leave certain groups behind if companies don’t think of them when devising solutions. She shares Tegria’s experience of bringing technology and education to a remote southeast Alaskan community that might need action plans to access care in case of emergencies. Theresa also explains how they approach these communities through health advocates and partnerships with other industries.
