Overview

There is a gender equality gap in healthcare, but also in digitalisation. Femtech and more inclusive digitalisation can improve women’s access to healthcare by providing tools that are designed for their needs. For this, they need to be included in conception and design, and have adequate access, knowledge and skills to use digital tools and applications. More women should be educated and trained to work in the information and communications technology sector and be promoted to leadership positions. Sex and gender-sensitive data collection and analysis are crucial to develop algorithms that adequately take the gender perspective into account.
