GIANT Tech Innovation for Women's Health
Do you believe we could gain more from Equality, Diversity & Inclusion in HealthTech?
Our content is centred on women's health for this event, however, we will be covering many of the issues that are part of inclusion more broadly.
Where may there be gaps in data, design, delivery and funding for gender-specific tech solutions?
Do these offer risks or rewards? How might we better design, apply and implement technologies to improve health outcomes for women?
Just as the rest of the GIANT programme, the event is curated by clinicians, entrepreneurs and service providers who deliver change for the better. Join us to help to shape the future of women in health.
Clinicians, scientists, policy-makers, entrepreneurs, corporate innovators, commissioners and investors – and of course ALL genders are welcome, who want to max the potential in HealthTech for women.
