Description

This Grand Challenge aims to bridge this gap by fostering innovative modeling approaches that rethink how women's health is measured, using available data, or easily obtainable, in new ways to provide a more holistic and actionable understanding of health outcomes. Advances in data science, modeling techniques, technological development, and gender-sensitive approaches present a unique opportunity to innovate; especially when global systems are facing unprecedented shifts that could further increase gaps in equity. This Grand Challenge builds on the Women's Health Innovation Opportunity Map 2023, developed collaboratively by over 250 global stakeholders across 50 countries through the Innovation Equity Forum (IEF). The Opportunity Map identified key gaps and priorities in women's health, emphasizing the need for innovation across multiple areas, including data and modeling, health and economic impact, supply and access to services, and skills, knowledge, and networks. The Opportunity Map serves as a roadmap for transformative solutions that address systemic barriers and advance gender-equitable health outcomes for women.
