On March 8th, International Women's Day, attention is drawn to gender inequalities—including those in the medical field. The University of Twente contributes to this effort by launching the minor ''Technology for Women's Health in a Life Span Perspective'', the first academic program in the Netherlands dedicated to women's health and technology. Developed by the Faculty BMS in collaboration with the Technical Medical Centre and the DesignLab, this minor aims to bridge the gap in healthcare solutions for women.
For years, a growing group of researchers from various faculties at the University of Twente has been working on solutions to health challenges that women face across different life stages. Minor coordinator Christina Bode explains: "The broad range of health technologies specifically designed for women's care provides an ideal foundation for this minor. It allows us to offer students in-house examples of research, technology, and design in the field of women's health."
