Inclusive innovationWomen across the world are being underserved by healthcare services that in many ways do not reflect the specific needs of half the population. Diagnostic tests and procedures are subject to the same criticism – being mostly designed and validated with males in mind. The consequences of inaccurate diagnoses on women’s health are well documented, and this is an urgent challenge that must be addressed. How can diagnostic developers improve the design, function and appropriateness of products for women from diverse populations? How can supply chains and health services improve access and affordability for a population growing in both size and diversity? How can the diagnostics industry deliver to women the diagnostic products they need and want?2. Unfulfilled ambitions: barriers to adoption and scale for women's health diagnosticsDo women's health diagnostics face additional barriers on the path to adoption?From generating evidence in under-researched areas, navigating market access and commissioning pathways, to integrating disruptive innovations into real-world clinical workflows, this session will explore what continues to hold women’s health innovations back - and the strategies innovators and system partners are using to achieve successful adoption.Delivery team: Health Innovation Network (HIN) South LondonThe HIN South London connects NHS organisations, local authorities, industry, and academia to improve healthcare outcomes by spreading innovation, supporting transformation, and accelerating adoption of best practices across South London’s health and care system for population benefit. It is committed to working in Women's Health and has run three cohorts of their national Accelerating FemTech FemTech programme.Lavinia Pamparau – Senior Project ManagerRuth Bradbury – Senior Programme ManagerVanessa Ponnussamy – Senior Project ManagerCharlie Beale – Project Officer3. Point of need: Is access to diagnostics for women aligned with women’s lives?Is the establishment of community diagnostic hubs beneficial for women? Could better provision be made for access to diagnostics across cultures and different age demographics? The rise of self-test products aimed at women has surged in recent years, but are women getting what they really need - or what they are told they need? And is the integration of data from home testing into the patient record helping to maintain the patient journey? - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/femtech-innovation-and-diagnostics-for-womens-health-cadda-workshop/100001984052449285 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, workshops, contests - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 6 hours 30 minutes - Location: 30 Guilford St - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: 30 Guilford St - **lat**: 51.52316279999999 - **long**: -0.1201203 - **full address**: 30 Guilford St, 30 Guilford Street, London, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Femtech, Innovation and Diagnostics for Women's Health - CADDA Workshop - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/a505f713d74e73f62d1ccafeb7d68e643ee44ce5c503f0210cc2111b40be98e2-rimg-w1200-h800-dc181918-gmir.jpg?v=1772331942 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Femtech, Innovation and Diagnostics for Women's Health - CADDA Workshop being held? - **A:** Femtech, Innovation and Diagnostics for Women's Health - CADDA Workshop takes place on Thu, 18 Jun, 2026 at 09:30 am to Thu, 18 Jun, 2026 at 04:00 pm at 30 Guilford St, 30 Guilford Street, London, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Femtech, Innovation and Diagnostics for Women's Health - CADDA Workshop? - **A:** Femtech, Innovation and Diagnostics for Women's Health - CADDA Workshop is organized by CADDA. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
