Abstract
There is a need for digital health innovation focused on bettering the health of marginalized populations. These communities, often insured by Medicaid and Medicare, face complex healthcare barriers that technology can address—emphasizing the role of the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) in fostering innovation. Dasari et al. identify four areas of CMS collaboration with startups: enhancing consumer awareness, leveraging telehealth, streamlining cross-state licensing and billing, and adopting technology-enabled tools.
