Join us this International Women’s Day for an exploration of women’s health innovation in the era of big tech.
About this Event

This event brings together researchers, clinicians, founders, and industry leaders to ask: as technology accelerates, are we recentering women's health in the age of big tech?

Through keynotes, panels, and workshops, we’ll explore how to rebalance innovation so that women’s physiology, lived experience, and health outcomes are central to development, evaluation, and implementation.

Expect a full day of discussion, debate, and collaboration grounded in research, clinical insight, and real-world innovation.
