The fertility journey is notoriously opaque and difficult to navigate. Medicine as a whole, however, is entering an era of personalization. In this roundtable we will explore in what ways personalized medicine holds the promise of revolutionize female fertility and gynecological diagnoses (31% of women will suffer from a reproductive health issue at some point in their lives).
Featuring:
Kindbody: a leading fertility and family-building benefits provider for employers offering comprehensive virtual and in-person care.
Parla: a digital health platform putting data and knowledge in women’s hands, aiming to revolutionize and reframe the conversations around fertility and miscarriage.
Hertility: At-home hormone and fertility testing that provides data-driven and advanced insights into reproductive health, fertility decline and the onset of menopause.
With moderation focusing on how ovarian ageing can help us decipher long-term health by
Staša Stanković.

Investing 300 million in women's health research across 3 diseases, returns 13 billion to the US economy. Investing 26 million in women's health adds back nearly 40 000 years of full-time employment for both women and men.
"Breakthroughs in science are going to happen by studying the populations that we haven’t studied. Shockingly that means studying the majority group: women. Modern medicine is a house on stilts. There are a few foundational pieces that we’re right on but beyond that we don’t know. And the problem is not that medicine is a house on stilts but that it’s a house on stilts pretending it’s not a house on stilts. Which means we never do the hard work of evaluating what we actually know objectively and what we don’t.
Medicine still routinely treats females as smaller males - treating the organs in a women’s body as if they’re just plug and play."
Listen to the Keynote to learn why - for the sake of advancing medicine - this needs to change. Today.

The Gender Data Gap persists at every echelon of healthcare from trials to treatment. Some examples? 70% of the people affected by chronic pain conditions are women – but 80% of research into pain is conducted on male humans or rodents. The vaginal microbiome is another example. It is associated with the risk for STIs, Pelvic inflammatory disease, Fertility issues or failed IVF cycles, Pregnancy complications such as miscarriage, preterm birth, neonatal problems, and preeclampsia and much more. And yet, though lots of resources have been invested in understanding other human microbiomes like gut or skin, when it comes to the vagina, the microbiome has been overlooked.
In this session we will discover the innovative ways FemTech Startups are collecting gender specific medical data to close the gap and better understand female specific metrics through the vaginal microbiome, remote neonatal monitoring, orgasm analysis etc.
Featuring:
Evvy: at home vaginal microbiome testing to help get to the root of recurrent vaginal infections and other symptoms, linked to infertility and cancer amongst other things.
Lioness: a sexual wellness company dedicated to championing female sexual pleasure and health. Aka the first smart vibrator that helps improve pleasure and orgasms through biofeedback data.
BloomLife: remote personalised maternal and fetal healthcare.

Women’s bodies are different from men’s bodies on a cellular level - yet the same treatments are usually prescribed for both sexes, even though women metabolise drugs differently so certain drugs remain in the system for longer or drop to dangerously low levels at certain points of the menstrual cycle. The impact of medication on women's QT (the resting time between heartbeats) is another example of differences between men and women. A woman’s QT is longer than a man’s and many prescription drugs –antidepressants, antihistamines, painkillers, antibiotics – cause incremental QT increases as a side-effect. For women taking multiple medications simultaneously (statistically women are more likely to be on multiple medications at the time), the risk of these combined increases can range from simple arrhythmia to sudden cardiac death.

The co-occurrence of disorders of the heart and brain are the leading causes of disability worldwide, and women are at twice the risk for these comorbidities. Understanding the shared causes, beginning in fetal development, provides unique opportunity for development of novel sex-dependent diagnostics and therapies at the neural-cardiac interface. The future of precision medicine lies in using a sex differences lens across the lifespan for prediction, treatment, and prevention of chronic disease.

There are sex differences in every single cell in the human body.
This impacts healthcare at all levels - from diagnostics to care to treatment to education … or at least it should.
Yet throughout history women have been considered ‘aberrations’ from the norm, rather than a crucial + vital part of the population to be included in medical trials and long-term studies.
In the 21st century, this has to change - and is finally starting to.

The Future of Fertility
The Economic Case For Investing in Women's Health Research
Bridging The Gender Data Health Gap
How Male Centric Medicine Endangers Women's Health
