Keynote 3: The Other 50%: Navigating Preventative Cancer Screening For People Without A Primary Care Physician

Dr. Eric Perakslis, PhD, Chief Scientific and Data Officer, Pluto Health; Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, IMIDomics

Approximately half of Americans lack a dedicated primary care doctor resulting in significant gaps in preventative and primary care for these populations. While it is well known that the many cancers are managed well if caught early, the incidence of people that have never had a mammogram, colonoscopy or lung cancer screening is highest in the most vulnerable subsets of our citizens. Despite the promise of digital health solutions to aid these populations, most digital-centric approaches have failed. In this talk, we will discuss hybrid ‘click-and-mortar’ approaches to preventative cancer care currently being piloted and will discuss the potential benefits and risks of hybrid digital preventative care.
