Social Determinants
r4 XEM can make this affordable and scalable.
Social Determinants solutions for Public Health use artificial intelligence to identify, analyze, and address the non-medical factors that influence health outcomes—such as income, education, housing, food security, and access to care. These AI tools are increasingly being used by governments, health systems, and nonprofits to promote health equity, improve population health, and guide policy decisions.

Solution Description

Predictive Analytics for Risk Stratification

  • AI models analyze social, economic, and environmental data to identify individuals or communities at high risk for poor health outcomes.
  • Helps target interventions more effectively (e.g., food assistance, housing support).

Geospatial Mapping & Hotspot Detection

  • AI visualizes health disparities by region, zip code, or neighborhood.
  • Identifies underserved areas for resource allocation and outreach.

Natural Language Processing (NLP)

  • Extracts social risk factors from unstructured data like clinical notes, surveys, or social media.
  • Detects mentions of housing instability, food insecurity, or social isolation.

Resource Matching & Navigation

  • Recommends local services (e.g., food banks, shelters, job training) based on individual needs.
  • AI chatbots or apps guide users to appropriate community resources.

Policy Simulation & Impact Modeling

  • Simulates the impact of public health policies (e.g., universal basic income, housing subsidies) on health outcomes.
  • Supports data-driven decision-making for equitable policy design.

Ethical & Equity-Focused Design

  • Ensures AI models are trained on diverse datasets to avoid bias.
  • Promotes transparency, fairness, and accountability in public health applications
