TRACKS
Heart health is vital at every stage of life, and women face unique challenges related to their cardiovascular well-being. From menstruation and pregnancy to menopause, women are susceptible to specific coronary issues and risk factors that can impact their health differently than men. Moreover, some heart and brain health conditions are more prevalent in women. Therefore, understanding your risk factors and taking proactive steps to maintain heart health is crucial. Join pharma leaders and clinicians as they lead a critical discussion on the causes of heart disease and coronary disorders, highlighting risk factors that specifically affect women and providing actionable steps to protect yourself best.
The state of women’s reproductive and sexual health is a critical issue that affects the lives of millions of women around the world. From access to comprehensive contraceptive care and family planning services to the treatment of common reproductive health issues, women face a range of challenges and barriers to care. At our expert forum, we are committed to addressing these issues head-on and providing a safe and open space for women to discuss their concerns, receive practical advice, and learn about the latest developments in reproductive and sexual health. Join us for an insightful conversation on the state of women’s reproductive and sexual health, and discover how you can take control of your own health and well-being.
As a caregiver, balancing work, family, and caring for a loved one in need can be challenging. This panel will delve into caregivers’ everyday stresses and provide practical tips for maintaining your own well-being. Whether caring for a spouse, partner, child, parent, or friend, finding balance in your life is crucial to providing the best possible care to your loved one. Our expert panelists will share their insights and experiences, discussing the importance of self-care and providing practical strategies for managing stress, maintaining emotional resilience, and staying connected to your own needs and goals. Join us for this essential discussion on balancing caregiving and life.
Menstrual health is crucial to women’s well-being, yet it remains taboo in many societies. Women and young girls still face challenges in accessing menstrual products, managing pain and discomfort, and addressing the social stigma around menstruation. Period poverty, which refers to the inability to access menstrual products due to financial constraints, exacerbates these challenges. Panelists will discuss best practices and innovative solutions for improving menstrual health and tackling period poverty. They will also address the importance of breaking the silence around menstruation and creating supportive environments for menstruating individuals.
As AI becomes more involved in healthcare solutions, it is crucial to have diverse and unbiased data sets to ensure these solutions work for everyone. In this panel, we will explore the historical exclusion of women from medical trials, leading to a need for more quality research and data on female-specific conditions. The panel will discuss the benefits and challenges of generating women’s health data, including the potential for making advancements in general health. The importance of collecting targeted female data to continue innovating in the women’s health space for largely female-specific conditions will also be highlighted. Finally, the panel will emphasize the need to increase momentum in researching women’s health and the importance of collecting diverse data sets in general healthcare.
Women’s health issues have been largely neglected by media and advertising, leading to a lack of representation and misinformation that impacts women’s access to care and decision-making. Our esteemed panelists include experts in the fields of media, advertising, and women’s health. Through their experiences and insights, we will explore the challenges and opportunities in portraying women’s health in media and advertising. We will delve into topics such as the role of media in educating and empowering women about their reproductive health, addressing taboos around mental health and weight diversity, and representing diverse perspectives and experiences in health marketing.
