Dear world, For many of us, #womenshealth has been our focus, our career, our passion, our research, our drive. For those now joining the movement, whether in industry, academia, advocacy or other, WELCOME ❗ We are so glad to have you joining the team to improve (dare I say 😀 TRANSFORM) women's health. But, a request ➡ when you are thinking about that product, or that biomarker, or that device or that study or that panel or that meeting--make sure you include those who actually provide care of women & who have done women's health science as part of those discussions/groups. I promise--it will make it all better. Importantly, it is more likely to actually improve the health of women if you do.

National Women’s Health Week, led by #HHS annually the week following Mothers Day, spotlights the health issues and priorities faced disproportionately or uniquely by women. This year, the week’s theme is about 💪 empowering women and 📣 elevating their voices. Women were not systematically included in most health research until the 1990s. That means much of the body of knowledge on which we base heathcare treatments and health interventions, is based on men as the model—and assuming women are a variant of that model. 🤯 It’s encouraging to see investments from the U.S. government and private industry to address this gap. The Biden Administration’s executive order on Advancing Women’s Health Research and Innovation, and a healthy “FemTech” startup landscape, are two bright signs. #NWHW #healthequity #healthtech

I recently had the chance to attend a Digital Health event organized by Digital Health Institute for Transformation (DHIT) dedicated to Empowering Women in Health & Innovation. It was a delight to listen to Kimberly Hames as she shared invaluable insights on community engagement and highlighted the value that women bring towards enhancing health and technology. Here are some key takeaways that I would like to share: 🎓 Educating women around health literacy is essential in order to provide better health outcomes. 🏥 Understanding the components of quality care empowers women to advocate more effectively for their own health needs. 👩🏻⚕ Addressing unconscious biases by care providers is important to ensure all voices are heard, regardless of an individual's race or ethnicity. A quote from the speaker that deeply resonated with me and that I intend to carry forward in my journey within the healthcare industry is, "Every leader within the health ecosystem holds power to play a pivotal role in shaping the healthcare system" ❗️Finally, women's health shouldn't be a topic to be discussed in the #WomensHistoryMonth alone; instead, it is crucial to take proactive steps towards fostering inclusivity and equity within the healthcare system without further delay. #WomenInHeath #DigitalTransformation #FutureOfHealthcare

💪 A Call to Action for Gender Equity in Healthcare Innovation The transformative article from Healthcare Transformers highlights a critical issue: the historical neglect of women's health research and innovation. It's a clarion call for healthcare leaders to prioritize equity in women's health, recognizing gender as a pivotal variable in medical research, treatment, and innovation. From my perspective, the urgency to address this imbalance is not just about fairness; it's about harnessing a full spectrum of human potential. When we empower women's health with data and innovation, we're not just improving individual lives; we're elevating entire communities and economies. The article underscores the role of data and technology in expanding women's healthcare beyond reproductive issues, providing comprehensive evidence for better healthcare decisions. It's a compelling argument for why women's health is integral to global economic growth and why universal access to sustainable healthcare innovations is essential to bridge the health gap. For those who are passionate about creating a more equitable future, this article is a must-read. It's a powerful reminder that when we empower women, we empower humanity.
