Championing Innovation and ROI in Women's Health Care | Global Conference 2024
Sheryl WuDunn, Nancy Brown, Jocelyn Frye, Kate Ryder, Maria Toler, Olivia Walton
Recent policy shifts and private investments have targeted critical gaps in women's health, following a White House initiative to fund research and a SteelSky-led advocacy push for $12 billion in congressional approval. Despite these efforts, severe disparities persist, including an 18% higher out-of-pocket cost for women, a 20% maternal mortality gap for Black women, and a clinical trial landscape where women of color remain severely underrepresented. Industry leaders and investors are now pivoting toward personalized, lifecycle-focused solutions and "Food is Medicine" models to address systemic barriers while capitalizing on the economic imperative of supporting female health.

Kate Ryder, Founder & CEO of Maven Clinic
Co-founded and led by CEO Kate Rider, Maven is the first female-led telehealth startup to achieve unicorn status, addressing critical gaps in women's healthcare through a network spanning fertility, postpartum care, and menopause. The company recently expanded its strategic footprint by partnering with Microsoft and five Fortune 15 employers while simultaneously extending coverage to Medicaid populations to combat high maternal mortality rates. By shifting incentives from volume-based procedures to value-based outcomes, Maven has reported a 30% reduction in NICU admissions and is actively working to reform the systemic inequities that affect one in eight couples facing infertility.
