Health Equity In Innovation

It is vital for companies working in health innovation, from AI start-ups to app developers, to create an innovative product which brings value to the health and care system. An important part of this is to ensure that an innovation considers health equity throughout the development process, and that it is provided equitably across the system. Through applying a health equity lens, this will increase the chances of success and impact and reach more users who may face barriers in accessing innovations.

· The 10 Core Principles of Health Equity
