Spearheading the HackHERHealth initiative to address the significant gender disparities in healthcare, a must to drive innovation! Recognizing that women represent only 41% of clinical trial participants, aiming to bridge the gap in gender-specific healthcare. Historically, medical solutions and devices have been designed based on male physiology, leading to increased risks and decreased effectiveness for women. Women face a 50-75% higher risk of adverse drug reactions and unique challenges in cardiovascular disease, underscoring the need for tailored medical research and treatment approaches specific to women’s health.
Under my leadership, the initiative focused on various challenges such as neurodiversity, endometriosis, obesity, and more. Working closely with the team to define and prioritize these challenges, ensuring that we developed effective solutions.

By leveraging digital technologies, IT leaders can catalyze innovation and drive exploration of new science and technology horizons12.

To attract the partners of the future, IT leaders must focus on building pathways to external services and capabilities that are not yet available internally.
