Last month, President Biden signed an Executive Order on Advancing Women’s Health Research and Innovation, signalling the significance of women's health to the government and consequently investors.

While women’s clinical trial participation has increased, clinical trials still largely are not designed for women. In this episode, our guests discuss the many areas where trials can be improved, such as human and historical diagnosis and screening biases, accessibility, data capturing, and more. They further discuss the importance of women’s health for the future.
