We're in 2023 and the way we access healthcare has changed greatly from even a few years ago. You can book yourself a doctor's appointment using the web and have the consultation via video call, so that now you don't need to take the whole morning out for just a 15 minute visit!
But who is excluded when so many healthcare processes are now digital-first? How can we ensure the health of the most vulnerable in society is improved and not hindered by our rush to web-first tech? How can we all - yes, you included - be part of the solution?
