Advancing health equity with data-driven approaches
The Health Equity Data Lab (HEDL), established under the Lucy Family Institute for Data & Society at the University of Notre Dame and generously supported by a gift from Accenture, collaborates with interdisciplinary researchers from academia and community partners to identify and address health inequities.
The primary goal of the Lab is to advance interdisciplinary research and translation in the fields of health equity, data science, and AI, identified through collaborative efforts. Additionally, the lab aims to develop a comprehensive framework for co-creation and co-innovation. This framework will address challenges related to health equity, especially at the intersection of medical and social care.
The Health Equity Data Lab recognizes the power of data in uncovering dominant narrative patterns and identifying gaps. It will take a data-driven, interdisciplinary approach to identify opportunities that will guide the prioritization of resource allocation. This approach will, support the Lab’s broader mission of promoting health and wellbeing in the communities.
