Acclinate  is a trusted healthcare solutions provider integrating culture and technology to educate and engage diverse individuals so they can make informed decisions about genomic research and clinical trial participation. We believe that diversifying genomic research and clinical trials to include more representation and diversity increases knowledge about health issues and makes a difference in personalized healthcare for all.

Beyond that, Acclinate and its founders, Del Smith and Tiffany Whitlow, have a passion to serve as a resource and supporter of diversity and inclusion through health, education, and entrepreneurship.

#NOWINCLUDED, powered by Acclinate, is dedicated to inspiring People of Color to make a move toward changing the future of health through inclusion.

Why we do what we do:

  • While People of Color make up 40 percent of the U.S. population, when it comes to minority participation in clinical research, less than 4 percent of data represents diverse populations.
  • This shortage of clinical data puts African Americans, Hispanics and other People of Color at a healthcare disadvantage because there isn’t enough research to create the best drugs and treatments to heal these populations and potentially prolong lives.
  • Certain medications including Albuterol, some hypertension, blood pressure and diabetes medication, cancer treatments, and more are unsuccessful for minorities.
  • A more diverse patient group must begin participating in genetic research and clinical trials. All races must be included to ensure individuals receive treatments that respond successfully to their genetic makeup.
  • It is common for minorities to have a distrust for physicians and other healthcare professionals because of unjust clinical trials performed on diverse patient groups in the past. Through #NOWINCLUDED, we hope to re-establish trust through relatability, comprehensive information sharing and empowerment.
