Despite its importance, women’s health research is a historically underinvested field of study. A lack of universal understanding of the category and underrepresentation of women in clinical research have created barriers that limit investment in women’s health initiatives. As a result, the women’s health gap presents a sizeable opportunity for investment and market growth.
The Big Picture
New York City is uniquely positioned to lead, with world-class research and medical institutions, supportive policies for women workers and entrepreneurs, and a collaborative innovation ecosystem. These strengths advance solutions in women’s health where evidence gaps are largest and market opportunities most underdeveloped.
