U.S. Hispanics: The Overlooked Stepchild Of American Healthcare & Why Startups Are The Answer

U.S. Hispanics are getting the short end of the stick when it comes to the American healthcare system. We’ve all heard stories of less than ideal health outcomes U.S. Hispanics have suffered in the past. As a Mexican-American, I too, know that story better than I wish I did. Up until last year, I spent nearly 6 years visiting my kid brother at the Texas Children’s Hospital who was in and out of Leukemia treatments until his last breath. Maybe it’s because the hospital was in Texas or maybe it’s because Leukemia disproportionately affects Latinx children; but, I realized most (if not all) of my brother’s neighbors were Latinx. Throughout endless conversations with their worried parents, I quickly learned how little these families understood their own children’s prognosis or care instructions. Furthermore, these Latinx families had been lucky enough to be the ones to find themselves at a world class hospital; yet, they all knew many families like themselves that hadn’t had a chance to save their loved ones largely because of a failing, unsustainable, and non-scalable healthcare system.

Control Healthcare's Front Door Or Be Pushed To The Side Entrance

We live in a world of immediate gratification that stops at healthcare. Executives in this industry use Facebook, Apple and Netflix personally, while many hospitals still fail to appreciate the transferable qualities that need to be applied before patients walk through someone else's front door.

How Digital Tools Could Make Measurement-Based Behavioral Healthcare Possible

Measurement-based care has transformed the identification and management of physical health diagnoses. By the 1950s, blood pressure cuffs became the standard of care for monitoring high blood pressure, contributing to the significant reduction of deaths due to heart disease. Glucose test strips, first introduced in the mid-1960s, were able to accurately assess blood sugar levels quickly and effectively. Both seemingly small inventions helped shift the health paradigm from intuition to quantification, changing healthcare dramatically.
