Socially Determined Partners with Protege Incorporating Social Risk Data for AI Training
Protege, the platform for AI training data, announced a partnership with Socially Determined, a social risk analytics and solutions company leading the integration of health and social care. Through this collaboration, AI developers will gain access to Socially Determined’s comprehensive social risk data through the Protege platform.
Socially Determined applies proprietary analytics to thousands of data elements from public and private data sources to quantify Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) risk across seven domains at the community level and five domains at the individual level. The data provides unique insights into how economic climate, food landscape, housing environment, transportation network, health literacy, digital landscape and social connectedness drive healthcare costs, utilization, and outcomes.
"By partnering with Socially Determined, we are enabling developers to build AI models that take into account social determinants of health,” said Bobby Samuels, CEO of Protege. “By integrating this data with traditional healthcare data, developers can ensure their training datasets are diverse and representative of real-world patient populations. This will enhance the accuracy of AI prediction models for all patients, helping to improve health equity.”
"For the better part of a decade, we’ve been on a mission to bridge the gap between healthcare and social care using data-driven solutions. Advancements in artificial intelligence over the past few years have been a game changer and unlock enormous potential, but especially when it comes to healthcare, we have to ensure training data is sourced and used responsibly," said Trenor Williams, CEO and Co-founder of Socially Determined. "Our partnership with Protege will provide AI developers with data that we’ve meticulously sourced to address real-world social factors that impact health outcomes. Together, we can give developers confidence that the data they’re using will help improve health equity versus the risk of unintentionally exacerbating it.”
