The purpose of this poster presentation is to provide an ethical prompt for public health informatics professionals to consider health equity and access to their innovations. While moving forward in innovations and uncovering new uses and technologies in informatics benefits all of us in society, it is important to make sure the balance of benefit is not too heavily swayed away from those that have limited access to technology or are otherwise suffering from health inequity. This innovative poster presentation will provide viewers with a very memorable experience that will enable them to draw upon the experience when launching new programs or creating new informatics technologies.
