When it comes to women in health tech, the imbalance is similar to what you would find in STEM overall (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths). Figures show that in health technology specifically, only one woman in five people are working in the industry.
Women in health tech – empowerment and inspiration
The lack of women in AI, in health tech, and in tech overall, has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, but the numbers generally never balanced out before that. We raise a glass to the powerful, inspirational and outstanding women who have made their mark in health tech against the odds.
