Design at Large: Future Prospects in Health Equity and Technological Innovations

There is increasing awareness that health disparities are largely a
result of the socioeconomic position in which you are born, the
housing and neighborhood where you reside, and the accessibility of
educational and job opportunities. These are known as the social
and structural determinants of health. By the time a person arrives
at a hospital, their health outcome or their chance of survival may
have already been pre-determined. Can technological advances in
health devices and health-care delivery mitigate the social and
structural determinants of health and eliminate disparities?
