What if your zip code predicted your life expectancy more than your genetics?

 

In this episode of The Future of Human Experience, I sit down with Tomás León, President of Equality Health Foundation, to explore how trust, not just technology, is the real driver of innovation in healthcare and community well-being. We unpack the Zip Code Exam, a powerful platform exposing how geography shapes health outcomes across America, and how equity begins with visibility, voice, and trust.

 

From data to dignity, Tomás shares what it takes to move from awareness to action—and why innovation only moves at the speed of trust.

 

 

In this episode:

 

-How zip codes reveal hidden health disparities

 

-Turning social determinants into actionable insights

 

-Why trust is more important than technology in driving change

 

-The role of AI in predicting outcomes and guiding interventions

 

-Tomás León’s journey from the barrios of Tucson to national leadership
