How Tech Can Fix The American Healthcare System With Sheila Phicil

The social and economic inequity in the United States is clearly evident just by looking at the current state of the American healthcare system. It is broken in so many areas and highly ineffective in addressing the actual needs of the people, leaving many citizens to live in constant suffering. Thankfully, today’s tech innovations could offer some solutions to this massive problem. Joining Corinna Bellizzi is social change futurist Sheila Phicil, founder of Phicil-itate Change LLC, who is building a blockchain-powered platform that could fix the many issues of the healthcare system. She explains why the main problem lies in the blatant disregard for values, not in the lack of financial support. Sheila also offers some ways of making healthcare equally accessible to everyone, even to people of color, underserved communities, and minority groups who are always exploited when it comes to well-being.About Guest:Sheila Phicil is a social change futurist™, health equity expert, and founder of Phicil-itate Change LLC, empowering social innovators to create measurable impact.
