What are important areas where better technology would support women's health? Findings from a priority setting partnership.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Women's health has historically lacked investment in research and development. Technologies that enhance women's health ('FemTech') could contribute to improving this. However, there has been little work to understand which priority unmet needs should be a focus for women's health technology development. The voices of clinicians and those who experience and utilise these technologies (including those used at home or encountered in clinical settings) are needed to ensure that device development aligns with need, without risking exacerbating or creating health inequities.

Method

We undertook a priority setting partnership project exploring unmet needs in women's health and well-being where physical technologies or innovations could help. This comprised gathering fee
