Women’s health has been considered a niche market for way too long. It’s time we change this.
With women accounting for half of the world’s population and 80% of consumer purchasing decisions in the healthcare industry, pharma has no time to waste in embracing enormous opportunities for investment, value creation and, ultimately, improving women’s lives.
Join us for this vibrant discussion to explore the unique role digital can play in improving outcomes for conditions affecting women differently or disproportionately.
Learn from our experts how to:
- create a focused digital health strategy by understanding women’s health better, looking at regional differences, and separating market hype from facts
- close gender-based healthcare delivery and access gaps thanks to value-lead, sustainable partnerships with FemTech start-ups and NGOs
- improve outcomes by embracing gender-diversified design among your digital products and solutions
Sign up today to participate in the discussion and ask questions of our expert panel or listen on-demand.
