Designing digital health for Latine consumers

Latines are the fastest-growing ethnic group in the U.S., and according to Rock Health’s 2023 Digital Health Consumer Adoption Survey, over 80% of Latine respondents have received virtual care at some point. Yet, Latine communities continue to be underserved by the U.S. healthcare system, facing unique hurdles that impede access to the right care at the right time.

Digital health innovators are finding white space opportunities to improve health outcomes for Latine communities—and they must involve individuals from these communities in the decision-making that shapes solution-building and product design. Read more about centering Latine experiences in health innovation, and tune into our latest Rock Health Summit virtual panel to hear directly from Latine innovation leaders Vanessa Villaverde (California Health Care Foundation), Félix Manuel Chinea (Doximity), Lili Gangas (LTX Connect), and Roberto Rodriguez (Sequential Ventures).

The Rock Health Summit agenda is taking shape and we’re excited to share more of our growing speaker lineup, along with the topics they’ll be covering. Join us on September 10 in San Francisco (or virtually) as we discuss the latest in applications of GLP-1s in obesity care and beyond, youth mental health, the food as medicine movement, and more.
