Data for Humanity

Improve your health equity programs with a socioeconomic data donation from FinThrive

We are no longer accepting Data Humanity Lab applications at this time.

We are happy to share we have three amazing projects we are donating data and research efforts to for advancing health equity across the U.S. in 2024. Check back for future updates.

Introducing the Data Humanity Lab

FinThrive’s Data Humanity Lab is designed to help researchers, providers and payers accelerate health equity within the US healthcare ecosystem. By donating Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) data to select organizations, together we can improve existing intervention programs, develop predictive models and study the impact of socioeconomic factors on health outcomes.

"Health equity needs to be improved now; we will not wait. That is why we are donating data across the healthcare ecosystem. We want to advance research and health equity programs to understand the impact they will have on population health."

Hemant Goel
President and CEO, FinThrive

Apply for a data donation to improve your organization’s existing health equity initiatives

For a more holistic picture of the people and communities you serve, you need more than clinical data.
