Why Women's Health is a Big Deal and How Data Can Help

Tue Oct 21 2025
Women's health is not a small issue. It's a big part of the world's health. Yet, it's often ignored. This is a problem. Data can help fix it. Women make up more than half of the world's population. But their health is often treated as a side issue. This is wrong. It's time to change this. Women want to know how their data is used. They want it to help them. But most digital health platforms are not made for women. This is a problem. Women are also left out of drug development. This is a big issue. Women have more anxiety and depression than men. They also make up most Alzheimer's patients. But less than 30% of clinical trials are on women. This needs to change. Susan G. Komen is trying to close this gap. They are a big funder of breast cancer research. They are using AI to detect more cancers. This can help women get treated earlier. Teaching the next generation of doctors is also important. They need to learn about health innovation. They need to learn to care for the whole person. This is key. The conversation around health needs to change. It should not be about him or her. It should be about us. This is the future.
