Measuring social impact
If scale is supposed to increase impact rather than distance, you have to measure both.
The problem
Healthcare AI has a habit of promising before it proves — capacity multipliers, savings, outcomes, all claimed before a program has real data behind it. Every time that happens, it costs the whole field a little more trust.
How HumAInity approaches it
We hold every HumAInity deployment to five questions — Reach, Connection, Action, Human Capacity, and Outcomes — and we say plainly what's demonstrated versus what's still a hope. As programs mature, we intend to publish what we find, including the parts that are mixed or don't go our way.
What good looks like
- Results reported separately from goals, never blended together
- Human capacity treated as a real outcome, not an afterthought on a slide
- Findings developed with academic partners who have every reason to hold us to it
