AI. Automation. Predictive analytics. These are all technologies driving a new digital era. But can they also bridge longstanding health disparities? 🤖💡🌍 At Acclinate, we believe the answer is yes—but only if we lead with people, not just code. In our latest blog by Head of Product, Leiselle A. Clark, we explore how our touch-first, trust-centered approach to innovation is helping make healthcare—and clinical research—more inclusive, impactful, and equitable. 🔍 From building an AI model based on real community data (not outdated assumptions), 🧑🏽🤝🧑🏿 to expanding maternal and fetal health access through culturally relevant design, 💬 to treating technology users as collaborators—not just data points— we’re proving that the future of health equity must be built with communities, not just for them. If you’re a product leader, innovator, or changemaker navigating this evolving digital landscape, this piece offers real strategies for building trust in a time of rapid transformation. Because tech alone doesn’t solve disparities. Trust +Smart Use of Tech + Transparency = Real Change. 🙌🏽 👇🏾 Dive into the full story below and see how we’re scaling human-centered innovation that makes a difference. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4cv3Ef6 #Acclinate #AffectiveTrust #AIForGood #HealthEquity #Innovation

🌍 Just wrapped an inspiring two days at the IncluDE Site Solutions Summit™ in Atlanta—an event laser-focused on advancing diversity and inclusion in clinical research. We heard directly from Pharma leaders affirming their commitment to DEI, and the message was clear: community engagement must be intentional, sustained, and rooted in trust. Key Takeaways from Acclinate's Clinical Research Specialist, Telisha Harrison, MSW: 🗣️ Many sessions emphasized the importance of community engagement before and after studies ⚖️ A powerful breakout—“The Impact of Clinical Research for Social Justice and Health Equity”—highlighted the realities of SDoH and discriminatory practices in research 🏆 Day 2’s Co-Creating Your Roadmap to Community Engagement workshop brought great energy and insights—we even took home the win for our team’s 12-month plan! 💔 A moment that struck a chord: one speaker shared how being asked to remove the words Black and Woman from a proposal made her feel invisible. A powerful reminder of why this work matters. At Acclinate, we believe DEI in clinical research isn’t a side effort—it’s the foundation. We left the summit energized and equipped with new ideas to better support sites and sponsors in building trust and improving health equity. 📅 Want to connect with us at future events?
