Brief description of the assignment | |
Although recognition is growing of sex and gender as important determinants of health, women's health is still under-represented in research, medical and psychological innovation. This has led to uneven standards of healthcare which has resulted in inequity, poorer care, and unmet health needs in women. In the minor module “Technology for Women’s Health in a life span perspective”, students get sensibilized to approach women’s health needs across the life cycle, and learn how this can improve standards of care with a focus on technology development and gender-sensitive design, in an interdisciplinary education environment. It is worldwide the first university minor about these topics. We are very proud of the minor. For the next edition (November – February) all places are filled and we have already a waiting list.
