Slide Slider02 FemTech Summit 26-27 May, 2021 Online Let’s Talk

Why

Attend

To discuss, discover and ideate about:

The link between gender and effective therapy in medicine

 Bridging the missing data gap

Innovative Screening + Symptom Monitoring  

Personalising contraception + fertility

The Future of pain + symptom management in gynaecology 

01
History

Throughout history women have been considered ‘aberrations’ from the norm, rather than a crucial and vital part of the population to be included in medical trials and long-term studies.

02
Participants

Women of reproductive age were often excluded out of the fear that menstrual cycles and changes in hormones could pose unnecessary complications and act as unpredictable variables.

03
Data

This has resulted in missing data sets and a lack of understanding, diagnosis and treatment of many gynecological conditions that impact large swaths of the female population, as well as unwanted pharmaceutical side effects for non-gynecological diseases, delays in care, underdiagnoses or undertreatment.

04
Future

However – be it by wearables, mobile apps, home testing devices or kits – this is beginning to change, with the emergence of companies beginning to collect large amounts of new data, conduct subsequent research studies and develop new means of treatment.

FemTech

Leaders

A series of Talks + RoundTables with leaders in the FemTech industry, dealing with:

The link between gender and effective therapy in medicine

How to bridge the missing data gap

How new and innovative screening and tracking technologies are revolutionizing care

RoundTable: Innovative Screening +Tracking Technologies

One of the largest innovations in the medical sphere due to COVID19 has been changing the point of Care for Patients … giving the patients themselves access to the knowledge and tools needed to monitor their conditions remotely and have a better understanding of their health. This Panel will explore how certain companies are doing just that for gynecological issues: from cervical cancer, to endometriosis, to even simply tracking menstrual cycles and what this can teach us.

RoundTable: Gathering Female Specific Data by Innovative Means

This session will cover the innovative ways companies are going about collecting gender specific data in order to: close the data gap and have a better understanding of female specific metrics; in the cardiovascular field, via menstrual samples, via vaginal microbiome, genetic sequencing or analysis of saliva

RoundTable: The future of Contraception and Fertility

The field of Fertility and Contraception has long been opaque and difficult to navigate, not mention a field rife with unpleasant and unforeseen Side Effects. Medicine as a whole, however, is entering an era of personalization – this panel will explore in what ways this will revolutionize female contraception (is it impossible to envision a future where female contraception is more specifically tailored to the user?) and fertility.

RoundTable: Pain and Symptom Management

From as far back as Ancient Egypt medicine has been rife with recorded descriptions of gynecological conditions and the physiological pain they cause. In fact, ancient Egypt has the first recorded use of the term ‘wandering uterus’ – but it was not until ancient Greece and then Rome after it that the term ‘hysteria’ was coined, often used to dismiss a vast array of symptoms exhibited by women, attributed to their physiological abnormalities. And yet a disturbing lack of innovation to help track, manage and perhaps even cure the pain caused by gynecological conditions has been historically achieved – until today. In this panel we explore the innovative technologies being put forth to treat gynecological conditions: from pre-empting menopausal symptoms, to treating endometriosis with cannaboids to the all importance of tracking the symptoms to help manage them.

What is FemTech?

A workshop is embedded into a conference; it doesn’t take place on its own, but it takes place during the main conference.

Why we need FemTech
1/3 of women In the UK will suffer from a reproductive or gynaecological problem - yet only 2.5% of publicly funded research is consecrated to reproductive health research
Why we need Inclusive Research
8 out of 10 drugs withdrawn from the US market between 1997 and 2000 were banned because of side effects occurring exclusively in women
The Cost
The Yearly Economic burden of female health is an estimated 500 billion. Yet only an estimated 4% is devoted to research and development for healthcare issues facing the female population.
The Problem Goes beyond reproductive Health
Women face: 5x more mental health issues than men, have 3x as many heart attacks and are 7x more vulnerable to autoimmune disease
