Innovations in Women's Health from the 'Wild West' to Precision Medicine: What Every Emergency Physician Should Know

Traveling medical shows in the late 1800’s peddling unproven “medical cures” ultimately triggered the development of early drug regulation and the FDA.  Consumers now face similar challenges as they sort through science and scams. As emergency physicians it is critical to parse out truth in science to best inform and treat our patients. Dissecting the vast body of literature to identify credible sources in women’s health, i.e. diseases that are different, disproportionate, or unique to women, can be a challenge for emergency physicians. Content experts will review innovations in artificial intelligence and biomes that uncover new sex-specific signals in topics such as aging and brain health. Additionally, they will review how Femtech and Venture Capital are bringing precision-based diagnostics, therapeutics and prognostics in women’s health to the mainstream.  Finally, the panel will discuss the current landscape of investment and funding opportunities related to research and clinical innovations in women’s health.
