SameSky Health launches AI-powered capability, enabling rapid innovation within its CultureGuide® platform


North Hollywood, CA • May 23, 2023 — Today, SameSky Health Inc. announced the launch of its new AI-powered capabilities within its CultureGuide platform, enabling rapid expansion of the platform’s natural language processing and machine learning capabilities, and enabling further personalization of culturally tailored experiences for health plan members.

CultureGuide delivers a comprehensive, personalized healthcare journey between health plans and their members. Each time SameSky Health begins a new partnership with its clients, the first step involves analyzing member data to identify gaps in health-equity-related data such as race, ethnicity, language, sexual orientation, gender identity, and social drivers of health factors. 

We have a moment of opportunity, where the impact of technology on healthcare is increasing dramatically, and as part of that, we need to build solutions with a health equity lens, ensuring that they are accessible, relatable, and work for the intended end users.
— Abner Mason, founder and CEO, SameSky Health

The SameSky Health process for developing equitable AI includes identifying and mitigating potential biases; understanding the interpretations and decisions being made from algorithms; ensuring that data is being used in accordance with informed consent; and, understanding the impact it will have on intended users.

SameSky Health is innovating to bridge the digital divide and create a more inclusive and fair technology ecosystem that works for everyone.
