SubscribeI'm a big fan of small data instead of big data, because the smaller the data the easier it is to actually interpret what's going on. At Wellpepper we had patient care plans that we had defined. And when the data came back from those care plans we knew what the patient was doing and what we had asked them to do. It made it so much easier to apply machine learning to see if, for example, somebody is at risk of dropping off their care plan. So I’d like to see less of “here's all of our data” and more focused and perhaps even more thought about data.

There is a big focus for us over the movement around social justice and social determinants of health and racial disparities. How can we make sure that no communities are getting left behind?

The digital strategy for urban and rural is different. In an urban setting there's much more of a likelihood that those consumers will have access to broadband coverage and cell coverage. Some of our rural markets may still have dial up at home. So you’ve got to figure out that kind of last mile. Make sure they're not disadvantaged purely based on where they geographically live.
