Access to breast cancer screening imaging technology that is effective is vital to women's health! If you have dense breasts like about half of all women, make sure you obtain additional screening beyond a mammogram. MRI, Ultrasound, MBI, etc are examples. The American College of Radiology is making this a top priority, ensuring women with dense breasts can access MRIs and technology needed to enable early detection. The Women's Digital Health Network was pleased to bring together leaders in this space to address the importance of accessing the screening that women need for early detection of breast cancer and will continue to prioritize this issue in our work. Thank you: Amanda DePalma with Siemens Jyoti Gupta with GE HealthCare Mia K. with Hologic, Inc. And most of all thank you patients, survivors and thrivers for sharing your stories and empowering others in this journey!

Women's health isn't having just a moment. This is a movement that together we all turned into a mandate for change. This community of women's health leaders and contributors in R&D, finance, innovation, commercialization, communication, policy and advocacy...ALL have made progress possible that will continue in 2025 and for years to come. Thanks to First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, President Biden and Maria Shriver who all made the White House Initiative on Women's Health Research possible, this Initiative has served as the convening and momentum-building force that spread like wildfire across the nation. The awareness of and commitment to funding and policies that advance the health of women have soared, and now we are positioned to keep it soaring in 2025. We will keep working with bipartisan colleagues and champions to close the gaps in women's health and make an impact.

8% funding for women’s health is unacceptable! That is below the 11% reported by NIH ORWH in 2019. We must reverse this trend and we see huge opportunities in medical devices and digital health technology and FemTech and beyond! Let’s team up to advocate for change in 2025! Thank you for posting Kathryn Godburn Schubert and leadership of Society for Women's Health Research (SWHR)!
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recently released a report shedding light on women's health research. The report reveals that a mere 8% of funding allocated by the NIH is directed towards women's health research. This disparity underscores the urgent need for more investment and attention in understanding and addressing the unique health needs of women. What are your thoughts on this critical issue? #WomensHealth #NIH #ResearchFunding
