About HERS

Shining a Spotlight on the Future of Women’s Health

Women’s health has long been an underserved and underfunded area of medicine, despite women comprising over half the global population. From historically excluded clinical trials to persistent diagnostic gaps and limited funding for female-specific conditions, the need to transform women’s health care is urgent—and the opportunity is immense.

For over 30 years, Cambridge Healthtech Institute (CHI) has been at the forefront of convening leaders across the life sciences, diagnostics, and medical technology sectors. We are proud to launch our Inaugural HERS: Health Executive and Research Summit, a groundbreaking event dedicated to advancing innovation in women’s health.

This summit will explore a wide spectrum of critical and timely topics, including: cutting-edge medical devices and wearables tailored to women; advances in diagnostics and direct-access testing; improved preclinical models that better represent female biology; novel drug modalities for conditions like endometriosis, PCOS, and menopause; and strategies for overcoming translational hurdles, market access, and reimbursement challenges. We’ll also highlight the growing interest from investors and emerging trends driving the women’s health market forward.

Join a diverse community of scientists, clinicians, technologists, entrepreneurs, and investors as we elevate women’s health from a niche issue to a central pillar of modern medicine. Together, we’ll drive solutions that deliver better outcomes and empower women worldwide.
