[AISWorld] Call for participation: AOM PDW "Towards Health Futures: Widening the Divide Through Digital Health Innovation? "

[Tuunainen Virpi]

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to our PDW "Towards Health Futures: Widening the Divide Through Digital Health Innovation?" on Saturday, Aug 6th at 1 PM – 3:30 PM (PDT), at the 2022 AOM Conference in Seattle!

We examine accessibility to digital innovation in Healthcare, i.e., access to the digital innovation process and access to digital innovation as health services. While many have seen the healthcare industry struggle, digital technologies are constantly evolving and finding new applications in healthcare. Since the COVID-19 pandemic has started, we have seen an increasing pace in which digital innovations have emerged. At the same time, the pandemic has also revealed tremendous disparities in access to innovations for different groups within and between our societies. To this point, there seems to be no equal access to the innovation processes, the new products and services, or the fruits of these digital innovations. This is in so far surprising as digital technologies carry the potential to raise accessibility by reducing transaction costs and enabling decentral decision making. In order to produce digital innovations for a more inclusive healthcare, diverse participants including private sector actors are needed to invest and share data in common infrastructures and engage in joint service delivery. We invite scholars to reflect on the entrepreneurial efforts and environments needed for these Health Futures.
