Women & Longevity Summit’s Post

Me on stage at this years Health Tech Hub Copenhagen Summit discussing the transformative role of investments in health technology for women's health together with two very powerful women Mette Dyhrberg & Charlotte Nørgaard Langer. What a great event - and this picture is from one of the moments that I actually succeeded in getting the opportunity to say something 😉. Anett Falussy was moderating the debate and I think you had quite an easy task today 😄 This was so amazing, I think you could all feel the power of female health tech founders and investors underlining that we are here to create valuable changes for the healthcare system - not just new health tech products and profit. Some facts: - In 2006 only 4% of VC went to companies with at least one woman decision maker. That percentage had grown to 85% in 2022. - Companies founded / co-founded by women earned 10% higher revenues than male led companies. So as I told the investors in the room: If you invest in us you have a bigger chance of getting more of your money back 😉 Female founders are driving growth in the health care sector and women’s health is a market ripe for disruption and innovation. Thank you team OSAIA Health for being in this together with me 🤗

🌟 **Exciting News!** 🌟 Hey everyone! I wanted to share something special with you. The Women in Medicine Summit™ is coming up, and early bird registration ends at the end of June. If you haven’t signed up yet, now is the perfect time! We all know how tough it can be to balance our careers and personal lives. It often feels like you can’t have it all at the same time, but I truly believe you can have it all, just maybe not all at once. The summit is a wonderful chance to learn from incredible women who’ve found ways to bring joy and balance into their lives and careers. I’m really looking forward to two new sessions: 1. **Using Improv Comedy to Find Joy in Your Career** - This session promises to be a fun and eye-opening way to bring laughter and spontaneity into our professional lives. 2. **Negotiating Like an Auctioneer** - A must-attend for anyone wanting to enhance their negotiation skills in a powerful and effective way. Also, a quick reminder that the deadline for abstract and award nominations is June 7. This is a great opportunity to share your work and be recognized for your contributions. Let’s come together to support and uplift each other. The summit is more than just an event; it’s a community where we can grow, learn, and thrive together. Looking forward to seeing you there! http://bit.ly/WIMSUMMITREG #WomenInMedicine #LifeBalance #PersonalGrowth #EarlyBirdRegistration #WIMS2024 #WIMStrongerTogether

Not often we challenge the US in such a positive way ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Feels like, maybe, at long last, is the time coming for Femtech and female founders? …mind you, 2% of investment is still pretty abysmal; but 2% of a bigger number is more investment to: ⭐️ address women’s health issues intelligently ⭐️ create more jobs for women in tech and data in female founded companies ( we employ twice as many women as male founded ones do) ⭐️ create sustainable wealth and higher ROI for investors. Our companies tend to fare much better in the longer term. Bring it on!!! This Candesic article is joyous to read and allows us to celebrate the small wins on this long, long journey. #femtech #investinwomen #womenshealth #womenindata #tlawomenintech #womenshealth

So, we would like to to take this final opportunity to emphasise what a critical opportunity this is for the 30 million Europeans living with rare diseases. The importance of this moment cannot be overstated so let’s come together to #ActRare2024! 🗳️ Is your candidate on the list? https://lnkd.in/efYD3WXg Frédérique Ries, Andrey Kovatchev, Ondrej Knotek, Petr Doubravský, Michal Berg, Václav Pláteník, Tomáš Zdechovský, Adriana Chochelová, Tomislav Sokol, Jan Kristoffersen, Frederikke Hellemann, Asser Mortensen, Kira Marie P., Sirpa Pietikäinen, Catherine Amalric, Marie Toussaint, Nathalie Loiseau, Thierry Paul Valette, Elise Magne, Maud Rebibou, Rayna Stamboliyska, Sven Franck, Tiemo Wölken, Philipp Mathmann, Stelios Kympouropoulos, Nicola Danti, Maria Pia Abbracchio, Tilly Metz, Isabel Wiseler-Lima, Mars Di bartolomeo, Marc Angel, Danielle Filbig, Franz Fayot, Martine Kemp, Christophe Hansen, Monica Semedo, JESMOND BONELLO, João Albuquerque, Maria Da Graça Carvalho, Laura Ballarín Cereza #Europe #elections #support #RareDiseases #support #ethics #DataSharing #research #innovation #treatments

I am heading to Pittsburgh on October 16 to see longtime friends, colleagues and champions for women’s health! Can’t wait to unite, empower and take action! Our voices matter now more than ever when it comes to educating candidates for Congress on women’s health. They need to understand that we are talking about diseases and conditions that solely, disproportionately and/or differently impact the health of women from head to toe throughout our lives AND understand that 11% NIH spending on women’s health is unacceptable, that lack of representation and data collection in clinical trials by sex and ethnicity hurts all of us, that lack of coverage and unequal financial reimbursement for female procedures/products makes healthcare less accessible resulting in delayed and denied care, that OB-GYN deserts in 1,000+ counties across the country is hurting all aspects of care for women in these communities far beyond maternal and infant health… that the time to make women’s health a national priority is NOW! Join us! Let’s work together to turn this women’s health movement into a mandate for change! Get your tickets for Oct 16: https://lu.ma/us970u38

Looking forward to attending my first Diversify Nordics Summit on the 27th of September in Oslo. I'll be facilitating this panel with three fantastic participants: Whose Story is it Anyway? Reclaiming Mainstream Narratives. Participants: Anne Lajla Utsi, Ritika Wadhwa and Henri Terho. "The discussion that follows will challenge us to confront the power dynamics that shape whose voices are amplified and whose stories are silenced. In a world where narrative sovereignty is increasingly contested, we must ask: Who controls the stories that define our culture, history, and future, and what are the consequences of this control? As narratives around critical issues like the energy transition are crafted, whose perspectives are being highlighted, and whose are overlooked? This discussion will explore the intersection of activism and artivism, questioning how the stories that drive social and environmental change are selected and who benefits from their telling. Moreover, the conversation will explore the often-hidden power structures behind storytelling—who receives the funding and resources to tell their stories, and how does this influence which narratives become mainstream? In a media landscape dominated by gatekeepers, how can marginalized voices reclaim their narratives and challenge the status quo? This panel pushes us to examine the role of power in storytelling, asking whether true narrative sovereignty is possible in a system where economic and political interests often dictate whose stories are told and heard." 

What an incredible few days we had last week at #ISPOREurope 2024 in Barcelona!   This wasn’t just another conference - it was a bold platform for sparking ideas, breaking the mould and challenging the status quo in healthcare decision-making. Some key highlights that fuelled our #rebelthinking: 🌟 Rethinking readiness for EU JCA  The conversations around evidence generation requirements pushed boundaries and made it clear: success lies in preparation. For those navigating this terrain, our #PICOPredict solution isn’t just a tool—it’s your compass in an ever-evolving landscape. 🤝 Connections that matter  The energy at the Decisive hub was electric. Familiar faces and new connections reminded us that true impact happens when we engage fearlessly and speak the truths our clients need to hear. 💡 Empowered leadership at the Women Leaders Networking Dinner  Thank you to the trailblazing women who joined us for a night of honest dialogue, collaboration and mutual inspiration. Together, we’re reshaping the narrative and driving action. Events like ISPOR don’t just validate what we do - they energise our rebellion against the ordinary. We’re here to disrupt, to innovate and to deliver solutions that drive meaningful change for patients worldwide. A massive shout out to our amazing Decisive Consulting Ltd team - whether on the stand, presenting posters, or coordinating behind the scenes, you brought the #rebelstreak alive. To those who joined us: thank you for being part of the rebellion. Until next time, let’s keep pushing boundaries and rethinking the future. #MarketAccess #HEOR #HTA   #Jointherebellion #teamdecisive #ShowyourRebelstreak
