Women's Digital Health | Podcast Guru

Details

Women's Digital Health Podcast is dedicated to learning more about new digital technologies in women's health. 80% of US healthcare spending is determined by women. Yet only 4% of the investment dollars of healthcare companies are actually spent researching and developing new products and solutions for women. Many of us are frustrated with incomplete healthcare experiences and sometimes dismissive responses from healthcare providers. You're probably wondering, is there a more convenient and accessible way to get the health experience that I want? Is there a way to get more control over your healthcare journey? Dr. Brandi Sinkfield is a Board-Certified Anesthesiologist with over 10 years of experience. Growing up she experienced the shame, secrecy, and lack of transparency surrounding women’s health. This has driven her to imagine a pathway for other women to access information that leaves them feeling empowered and full of confidence. Every two weeks on this podcast, Dr. Sinkfield will discuss digital health in depth, exploring innovative health solutions that are bridging the women's health gap. She will speak with digital health creators, investors, and technologists who are creating convenient and accessible health solutions for women that are designed to fit their schedules and accommodate their needs. Whether you're curious about advancements improving women's health or struggling with health issues like obesity, heart conditions, or hormone shifts from pregnancy to menopause, follow Women's Digital Health on your favorite podcast platform and never miss an episode.
