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

We are confident that our relationship with FinThrive will continue to advance our ability to provide reprieve to those who need it most. This partnership represents RIP Medical Debt’s commitment to our mission—abolishing financially burdensome medical debt.
I am so proud of the amazing team whose dedication, focus and unwavering humanistic approach allowed us to gain insight into the significant role generational poverty plays in health equity and the need to prioritize a patient’s economic status in a meaningful way within healthcare.
We saw a lot of behavioral and substance abuse issues, and it became clear that we needed specialized teams to address those areas.
This is a time to pivot in how we are taking care of patients, opening up access and providing care for all people.
Our work has been focused on solving these complex problems. We must go outside of our doors and enlist partners to help. The life expectancy gap is the problem we need to solve, and in order to do this, we have to name the root causes.
