FemTech – enhancing womens health using technology
According to a new report from the World Economic Forum and the Boston Consulting Group, women lose an average of one week of good health each year. 75 million healthy years of life are lost globally due to diseases and disabilities that affect women. At the same time, only six percent of private health care investments go to women's health, it remains one of the most underfunded areas of health care. The report also shows that women live longer than men, but spend 25 percent more of their lives in poor health.
With this track, we want to focus on women's health and the possibilities of technology – today and in the future – to increase the level of functioning and health of the world's women. How do we create conditions and support for services aimed at women? How do we increase knowledge about women's specific problems and how can we as a society together support a more equal health?
