ACE Your Health
Making Health Equitable, One Community at a Time
Everyone has a right to good health and well-being, but America's promise has fallen short. Individual health does not exist in a vacuum. It is tied to the community conditions in which we are born, grow, live, work, and age. The roots of historic inequity run deep in fragmented public and private health systems — and we're committed to shifting the balance.
As part of our ACE Your Health initiative, we've traveled across the country with our partner, Sanofi, to collect data and real-life experiences about health at the community level. Those insights will drive the solutions our communities need to improve health outcomes.
Designing Artificial Intelligence for Health Equity
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more and more commonplace in the modern world. It's not only present in the consumer products we use daily, but it's increasingly present in the sectors that impact our lives in very real ways - like healthcare. The ACE Your Health AI Task Force explores ways to build healthier futures through AI in our white paper.
Policy Perspectives with Health and AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping every aspect of the health care system. It has the potential to accelerate clinical innovation, improve diagnosis, expand access, reduce clinician burden, and personalize care in ways that can transform lives. In this policy brief, Policy Perspectives on Equitable Health AI, we examine solutions from our white paper and perspectives informed by the lived realities of the communities most affected by inequity in health outcomes.
Fair AI in Healthcare
There's no denying that artificial intelligence is changing health care. With its advances, it is imperative that AI is built and used fairly for our communities. From predicting when someone might get sick to creating treatment plans that fit each person, access to fair, trained, and responsible AI is critical.
Our messaging includes our stance on fair AI use in healthcare, why it matters, and rules for responsible healthcare AI.
Take Your Health Advocacy Further
The ACE Your Health Community Wellness Survey Report and ACE Your Health Literacy Toolkit work together to help you identify and discover health issues in your specific areas. These resources will help you improve your own communities while equipping you with tools on how real-world factors affect health outcomes.
