A new WHO/Europe report shows that digital health technologies can improve women's health and promote equity. The benefits are primarily associated with improving access to health-care services, enhancing maternal health, providing essential health information, and empowering women to have more autonomy.
Monash Women's Health Alliance Chair, Prof The Hon. Jill Hennessy hosted a diverse panel of women’s health experts in an intimate and thought-provoking discussion on digital platforms as a women's health hack, posing the question; is technology is helping women to participate, be seen, be believed, and be counted in their health care?
