Data shows that those most susceptible to heart disease - Māori and Pasifika - have lower access to healthcare compared to Pakeha patients.
This means that while some patients are accepted for a hospital clinic appointments, others who have greater need get bumped down the queue.
A new project aims to crunch that data to understand where and how decisions are being made with a goal of countering the bias.
The project is being run by the research group Precision Driven Health, which brings together academics, health providers and tech companies.
Lynn is joined by it's CEO Kevin Ross and also Maori Health Researcher, Haze White - who is working on the project.
