Health equity remains a major issue among underserved populations, with a complex interplay between race, social determinants of health, and health outcomes. One organization working to advance health equity is Our Healthy Community (OHC), which is dedicated to improving health outcomes in underserved communities. To help achieve this, OHC is working to bridge the gap between faith-based organizations, community organizations, and the healthcare industry.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is proving particularly useful in identifying potential candidates for appropriate clinical trials. In oncology, for example, overall estimated patient participation rate in clinical trials is only around 7%. AI can help alleviate the burden of prescreening at the site level, freeing up clinical research coordinators’ time to focus on the patients who are most likely to meet inclusion/exclusion criteria.
