Women's health has been ignored by the tech and health industries for
so long that it's now considered the next big thing. We're suddenly
seeing new innovations targeting everything from period tracking to
breast cancer management. This past July, a Forbes headline heralded
menopause as “the next big opportunity.” The global fertility
services market alone is expected to reach $30 billion by 2023. These
aren't exactly new problems, so ... why now, and how do we best
direct the momentum?Bresslergroup is excited to host an
interdisciplinary panel of women working in healthcare, technology,
design, and innovation in Philadelphia, to help answer that question
and many more during a wide-ranging conversation about this moment in
women’s health. What are the challenges and opportunities as we look
to the future? Topics to be discussed: Societal trends that have
influenced the surge of innovation in the women's health market Unmet
needs and opportunities for innovation in women’s health The
potential of cross-collaboraton to create solutions The impact of
emerging technology on women's health The importance of a
human-centered approach to designing new tech products for this market
Health equity and access to products and services across populations
and demographics Join us for an evening of thoughtful discussion in
celebration of International Women's Day and its 2020 theme of
