What is the value of metrics in systemic racism? How are we unconsciously perpetuating racism through technology?
What is the difference between systemic vs algorithm racism?
In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts in multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism. In this video, Jill interviews Chris Dancy, a pioneer of connections between technology and healthcare. This episode addresses his app, Our Balance, and how it measures different behavioral and biological metrics to determine the health fingerprint of a population. This app helps to make the mistreatment of a community visible so society can work towards useful improvements. Chris explains his take on all the ways technology can both perpetuate systemic racism and support anti-racism efforts.
Chris Dancy is touted as “the Most Connected Man on Earth,” and the world is watching those connections carefully. A noted keynote speaker and executive workshop retreat facilitator, Chris guides organizations and audiences on a journey--a disruptive, breathtaking journey--into the future of computing, when behavior becomes the ultimate interface. As an author his digital wellness journey will transform how we look at the technology of our lives. "Don't Unplug" is available now.
