Accelerating Women’s Health

British actress Emma Watson's UN speech on gender equality is resonating with people around the world. So let's make sure her message makes an impact in healthcare, where it's no secret that women leaders and attention to women's health needs are underrepresented. In digital health, we're seeing progress - this week alone, an MIT breast pump hackathon and an NIH decision to take on gender bias in research put women’s health in the spotlight. But Watson’s speech is a powerful reminder that we can do more.
