Health technology cannot scale without navigating the policy and regulatory landscape. This panel brings together policymakers, payor experts, and regulatory advisors to discuss how current policies support, or hinder innovation in women’s health. Topics will include FDA pathways for novel devices, reimbursement strategies, health equity frameworks, and the role of federal and state initiatives in accelerating access to women-focused solutions. Attendees will gain clarity on where policy is headed and how innovators can align their strategies for long-term success.
Capital allocation shapes which innovations come to market. This discussion features women venture capitalists, family office executives, and angel investors who are redefining investment priorities in health tech. Panelists will explore how gender diversity in capital decision-making changes portfolio outcomes, the rise of women-led funds, and strategies for deploying capital into high-impact women’s health innovations. The session will highlight both the challenges and opportunities in building an investment ecosystem that reflects the health needs of half the population.
