Stand up to discrimination in digital health
Digital health should work for everyone.
Right now, it doesn’t.
Bias in data, design, and decision-making is creating unequal outcomes, especially for underserved communities.
We can change that.
Digital health is not neutral
WELCOME TO THE EQUITY CHARTER
Technology reflects the systems and people that build it.
When bias and inequity exist, they show up in the:
Data we collect
Algorithms we design
Products we build
Decisions we fund
This means digital health does not work for everyone.
Our purpose
To advocate for equity in digital health.
Our vision
An equitable digital health sector, where products, platforms and services meet the needs of everyone, and particularly underserved communities.
Co-Founders
The Equity Charter was created by Ayesha Rahim (NHS doctor) Victoria Betton (Director for Digital, Data and AI - Health Innovation Kent, Surrey, Sussex) and Hassan Chaudhury (Head of Commercial at Great Ormond Street Hospital).
