Tech-Powered Women’s Health

Women’s health care delivery has been supercharged through the use of emerging technology. With the ability to close long-standing gaps in care, research, and outcomes, tech-powered care delivery aims to use emerging innovations, from remote monitoring and predictive analytics to AI-driven diagnostics and digital therapeutics, to better detect, manage, and prevent conditions that uniquely or disproportionately affect women. For example, women who experience hypertensive disorders during pregnancy face a significantly higher lifetime risk for cardiovascular disease. Similarly, those diagnosed with gestational diabetes are about ten times more likely to later develop Type 2 diabetes, which itself increases risk for heart disease and dementia. New technologies can play a pivotal role in early identification, longitudinal monitoring, and ongoing risk management, connecting obstetric care to primary and specialty care long after pregnancy. As data-driven insights become more precise and continuous, tech-enabled women’s health can shift from reactive to preventive care, improving long-term outcomes and closing critical gaps in how women’s health risks are identified and addressed.
