Up until 1993, most health research, clinical trials, and device development were conducted on men. This means there has been, and continues to be, a considerable funding gap, exclusion and underrepresentation of women in health research.

Women's health research is the study of health across a woman’s lifespan in order to preserve wellness and to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease. It includes all health conditions for which women and men experience differences in risk, presentation, and treatment response, as well as health issues specific to women, such as pregnancy, menopause, autoimmune disease, Alzheimers and much more. Women’s health research considers both sex and gender differences and how these differences affect disease risk, pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment.

As women benefit from this research and reduce their burden of disease, they will improve their own wellbeing, which is directly connected to the wellbeing of our economy.
