The Light Collective is advancing the collective rights, voices, and interests of patient communities in healthcare technology.
You can read all about our mission here. Healthcare technology can move faster than our ability to safeguard ourselves from its consequences. As patient communities adopt new technologies, we recognize our communities must be fairly represented in the data and tech that affect our lives and our health. Representation must be tied to real legal rights, duties, accountability, and digital governance.
This was the Town Hall from our 2022 Cohort, and we are proud of what we were able to accomplish. Help us shape the vision for what comes next.
Where We’re Headed
