Our platform called AFFORDABLE is focused on developing a revolutionary user-centered online platform which implements a systems based healthcare approach to improving the lives of vulnerable socioeconomic populations. AFFORDABLE has three primary goals to 1) simplify and improve the acquisition of resources and financial support for underprivileged populations, 2) improve resource distribution by enhancing interinstitutional communication, and 3) promote small Health-Utilizing Grants (HUGs) to increase immediate financial assistance directed toward improving healthcare outcomes.

Our mission is simple—create one portal, one application, one database, that will automatically connect impoverished and disenfranchised individuals to a community network to reduce barriers to healthcare access and improve resource distribution. Here we explain our strategic approach, platform functionality, and modular project proposals. Our goal is for students to take leadership roles in AFFORDABLE development to make a positive impact on the local community.
