Interesting. I’m working on a similar project/idea (?app, I don’t know what to call it, doesn’t matter), about helping patients understand what they need to do for primary prevention. I hadn’t thought of the specific barriers that each group might face. I’m a doctor and feel that too much is reliant on the doctor remembering to ask (“oh have we checked your blood sugars btw!”) I want to empower patients with this info.
It turns out there are lots of groups who have greater than median barriers to access even basic care (trans folks, Black folks, immigrants, neurodiverse folks, disabled folks, etc). I happen to have a "I'll just keep calling and escalating until I've called every person in the company" attitude that doesn't seem to find that exhausting.
