This presentation discusses overcoming the digital divide and its relationship to health disparities. The digital divide prevents disadvantaged communities from achieving important goals and mirrors social determinants of health like geography, race, income, and language. Both the digital divide and health disparities are influenced by factors such as lack of access in rural and low-income urban areas, as well as language, age, education level, and disability status. Bridging the digital divide is essential for improving health disparities, as technology and health providers increasingly intersect. Leadership, relevant content, community-based approaches, targeted strategies, and long-term sustainability are needed to overcome disparities.

Editor's Notes
- #4: As leaders in community who are doing something about improving health status of disadvantaged, you already have most of what you need to overcome the digital divide. It’s not about the tools, its about your values, own sense of mission and equityNot about the tools that technology gives you, its first and foremost about the desire to effect change and willingness to learn what you need to in order to do it
- #5: Connect the dots kind of personNot just health disparities and digital divide that are connected;Concept of ZeroDivide is not separate from other divides that need to be overcome. Will show you how and why
- #6: Start with difference between Institutional and Individual integrators. Then move to point out that most funders and providers focus on basic access and use. If anything more strategic, is usually discrete issue (education) or population focused (youth). ZD has learned to go beyond access to integration with broad social change missions—thus ZeroDivide, not just digital divide. ZD focus is on institutional technology integration, and by extension, individual adopters
- #7: Not just trying to shoe horn my two interests: my career up to now has led me to the confluence of the two
- #9: ZeroDivide funded Pat Brown Institute to geocodedigital divide – maps showed almost 100% alignment of lack of technology access w/ other social inequities
- #29: Doesn’t have to be inevitable. Social innovation from community entrepreneurs, health leaders is happening
