Bridging the innovation gap in personalised menopause healthcare through technology

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Menopause is a condition that affects all women, with substantial physical and psychological impacts. Despite the sizable population affected over time, the research-based knowledge and education of women, healthcare professionals, and society still needs improvement. Innovation for healthcare has historically prioritised curative measures over preventative ones. However, in perimenopause, where reducing post-menopause disease risk is a crucial outcome, the industry needs to change its approach. Therefore, closing the innovation gap between the standard of care and a personalised approach holds substantial economic and preventative potential. Furthermore, addressing menopause is essential to improving women's health and well-being.
