Frost & Sullivan Launches the EmpowerHer Program to Bridge the Growth Gap in Women's Health

Global Think Tanks and Collaboration to Drive Innovation and Empowerment in Women’s Health

Frost & Sullivan, a renowned leader in fostering innovation and driving transformative change, proudly announces the launch of its groundbreaking “EmpowerHer” Growth Council Think Tank series. This initiative, launched in July 2023, is dedicated to tackling the monumental growth gap in women’s health, which currently stands at a staggering $17 trillion. To address this complex issue, Frost & Sullivan has brought together a diverse array of stakeholders, including experts, thought leaders, industry professionals, and key policymakers.

The growth gap in women’s health is a multifaceted challenge rooted in three critical areas: a lack of comprehensive clinical research, limited access to healthcare, and insufficient funding for women’s health technology. This formidable gap poses a significant obstacle to delivering effective care to women worldwide.

Recognizing that closing this gap requires a collective effort from society as a whole, Frost & Sullivan has taken a bold step forward with its Growth Council Think Tanks.

By bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise, we are confident that we will create tangible outcomes and establish new benchmarks for the industry.”

Key Perspectives from the Think Tank on “FDA’s Bold Vision for Women’s Health”

Reenita Das, along with Terri Cornelison, Chief Medical Officer and Director, Health of Women, Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), collaborated to craft transformative perspectives, including:

• Sex and Gender-Specific Clinical Trials: Clinical trials for chronic diseases should incorporate criteria tailored to the unique characteristics and needs of both men and women.
• Early-stage Endometriosis Diagnosis: Early tracking of menstruation cycles and expanding registries for conditions such as endometriosis are essential for improving healthcare outcomes.

Growth Challenges: What is the growth gap that needs to be addressed?

The growth gap in women’s health is a multifaceted challenge rooted in three critical areas: lack of comprehensive clinical research, limited access to healthcare, and insufficient funding for women’s health technology. This formidable gap poses a significant obstacle to delivering effective care to women worldwide.

Burdens of Health: Cost we can’t ignore?

Recognizing that closing this gap requires a collective effort from society as a whole, Frost & Sullivan’s Analytics team has pinpointed growth opportunities to bridge these divides.

What are some of the key opportunities fueling growth in women’s health?

• Cardiovascular Diseases in Women: While traditionally labeled as a ‘man’s disease,’ cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) entail significant costs, with women contributing approximately $500 billion globally. The key lies in empowering primary care clinics with cutting-edge scanning and detection tools tailored for women’s regular clinic visits. Early detection is paramount, especially during critical periods like pregnancy and primary care, necessitating advanced screening and diagnostic capabilities in the fight against CVDs.

• Mental Health: Women, globally, are more prone to depression and anxiety. An estimated 19% of women are affected by a mental health disorder compared to 12% of men. By 2030, depression alone will top the list of women’s health concerns. Neuromodulation therapies show promising avenues for the next 7 to 10 years. Virtual reality (VR) interventions, already effective in anxiety treatment, offer further potential across various conditions including depression, addiction, pain management, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, Alzheimer’s, traumatic brain injury, and strokes.
• Senior Care: As the complexity and costs of senior care rise, the emergence of advanced smart homes presents a transformative solution. By ensuring seniors’ safety at home, these innovations reduce expenses associated with retirement homes while fostering increased familial visits. Furthermore, artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled tools offer proactive healthcare monitoring, and the integration of VR and augmented reality (AR) technologies holds promise for enhancing cognitive health, alleviating social isolation, and delivering immersive experiences.
