When David Williams first started talking to investors about his healthcare platform Care3, he hesitated to emphasize the fact that the technology was developed in part for underserved communities. Eventually, though he changed his tune and began to include the fact that the platform -- which connects caregivers and patients -- was built with people of color, the disabled and other underserved seniors in mind. Yet, when he did, not only did investors get it -- "Absolutely, absolutely it translated into dollar signs," said Williams.

On this episode of The Credentialed, originally recorded May 9, 2018, Kate Kaye chats with Williams about why he believes technology can improve day-to-day interactions between patients and caregivers, about the importance of developing technologies for underrepresented groups and about how his Detroit family roots sparked his entrepreneurial spirit.
