SUMMARY:Emerging Topics in Women’s Health: Minding the Depression Gap
DESCRIPTION:The Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) is committed to making women’s health mainstream by promoting research on biological sex differences and increasing awareness of health conditions and diseases that disproportionately\, differently\, or exclusively affect women. Depressive disorders – one of the leading contributors to disability – have a disproportionate prevalence and impact on women. Depressive disorders include both major depressive disorder (MDD) and persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia)\, and from 2015 to 2018\, there were statistically significant increases in major depressive episodes among adolescent girls (ages 12-17) and young adult women (ages 18-25). This symposium discussed the impacts of depressive disorders on women’s health\, with special emphasis on chronic depression\, physiological sex differences in disease\, and disparities in clinical care. Panelists presented strategies as to how research\, clinical\, and policy stakeholders can collaborate to address persistent research gaps\, disparities\, and unmet needs in treating depression in women. Attendees then engaged in Q&A with the panel to discuss approaches to improve mental health outcomes for women across the lifespan. \nThis virtual event is part of the in-person VCU Health of Women 2025 Conference in Richmond\, VA. \n \nSeparate registration is required for this complimentary session. No CME or CEU credit offered.  \nThis is an SWHR Event

SUMMARY:2025 Science of Patient Engagement Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Join the National Health Council (NHC) for the 2025 Science of Patient Engagement Symposium on May 7–8. The Symposium will return to the historic National Press Club in Washington\, DC\, to explore this year’s theme: Elevating Innovation in Medicine\, MedTech\, & AI. \nEngaging with patients is key to the process of innovation in medicine\, MedTech\, and AI. Patients\, their families\, and their caregivers can provide unique insights at all stages of development for a new drug\, treatment\, or technology. By partnering with patients and integrating them as equal partners\, researchers and product developers can integrate these insights into practical and innovative solutions to meet the needs of a wide array of patients. \nThe Symposium will examine the science of patient engagement from the perspectives of both patients and experts in medicine\, MedTech\, and AI. Some key sessions are: \n\nInnovation in Access\, Treatment\, & Discovery\nWhen MedTech and Patient Engagement Collide\nBreakthrough Health AI case-studies in Chronic Disease Detection\nPatient Empowerment Through Machine Learning and Large Language Models\n\nThe Science of Patient Engagement Symposium is a two-day meeting held annually to explore how patient engagement is evolving and contributing to science and medicine. It brings together leaders from patient organizations\, non-profit groups\, industry\, academia\, and government for a discussion of experiences\, best practices\, and the resulting impacts of engaging with patients to drive innovation. View the 2024 Symposium summary and check out what our attendees had to say about their experience attending the event. \nLearn More \nConnect with SWHR! SWHR Chief Science Officer Irene Aninye will give opening remarks on Day 2 of the Symposium and moderate the Day 2 keynote\, titled “Putting Patients First in Drug Discovery\, a Few AI-driven Case Studies.”

SUMMARY:Early Signs\, Lasting Impact: Policy Pathways in Alzheimer’s Disease Detection and Care
DESCRIPTION:Alzheimer’s disease is a growing public health crisis in the United States\, disproportionately impacting women\, who are twice as likely as men to develop the condition. Among the nearly 6 million Americans aged 65 and older living with Alzheimer’s\, women account for two-thirds—making it the leading cause of death for women in this age group. With projections estimating that 13 million Americans will be living with Alzheimer’s by 2050\, early detection through improved screening and diagnostics is essential to enhancing patient outcomes and easing the burden on families and caregivers. Legislative action is critical to supporting these efforts and ensuring access to comprehensive care\, resources\, and support for those affected. \nThis May\, the Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) hosted a congressional briefing to educate members of congress and their staff on Alzheimer’s disease and its disproportionate impact on women’s health. This session offered an overview of the current state of Alzheimer’s disease screening and diagnostics\, including potential policy opportunities to close existing gaps\, as well as other legislative pathways to address barriers in Alzheimer’s treatment\, care\, and long-term support for patients and caregivers. \nThe event featured a moderated discussion with leading experts who shared insights into the latest research\, ongoing challenges\, and actionable policy solutions aimed at improving outcomes for those affected by Alzheimer’s disease—with a particular focus on women. \n*This event is widely attended and relevant to official duties.  \nThis is an SWHR event.  \n  \nThe SWHR Breaking Barriers in Alzheimer’s Disease series includes:  \n\nPerspectives on Early Stage Alzheimer’s (April 2024) \nInnovative Diagnostics for Women (June 2024)\nOpportunities to Enhance Women’s Health through Alzheimer’s Disease Policy Initiatives (Nov 2024)\nA Congressional Briefing (May 2025)

SUMMARY:World Heart Federation Forum on Sex Differences in Cardiovascular Disease
DESCRIPTION:The WHF Forum on Sex Differences in Cardiovascular Disease will provide a unique platform to explore the important and often undervalued role of sex differences in cardiovascular health. \nMen tend to experience certain cardiovascular conditions earlier in life\, while women to face a higher risk for other types of heart disease that have unique biological mechanisms and often lack tailored treatment options. There is a growing recognition that women are underrepresented in cardiovascular clinical trials—historically making up less than 30% of participants—leading to a gap in data and hindering the development of effective\, sex-specific treatments. \nThis forum will bring together experts\, researchers\, clinicians\, and policymakers to delve into current and potential future research\, discuss treatment and prevention strategies\, and address disparities in cardiovascular risk and outcomes between men and women. \nThis gathering will work to inspire actionable discussions\, paving the way for improved research\, policies\, and clinical practices that foster a more inclusive and equitable approach to cardiovascular care. WHF will also share a case study on gender differences recently carried out in partnership with the University of Utrecht\, the Netherlands. \nThis event will happen prior to the World Heart Summit 2025. \nRegistration information coming soon!

SUMMARY:Prioritizing Care during Midlife: Personal\, Professional\, and Health Care Strategies for Women
DESCRIPTION:Midlife for women\, typically defined as ages 35-65\, is a life transition full of changes sparked by menopause-related hormone shifts and changes independent of ovarian aging. Women in midlife experience a range of physical and psychosocial changes that can have immediate and long-lasting health implications\, such as bone density loss\, cognitive challenges and sleep disturbances\, stress related to work\, and increased responsibilities caring for children and aging parents. Maintaining good health during midlife is a key determinant for wellness later in life. \nWhile much of health care during midlife tends to focus on ovarian aging\, providers and patients should recognize that midlife is a critical intervention point to mitigate chronic health conditions and promote longevity. Promoting preventive health care practices\, building awareness about midlife health concerns and risk factors\, and addressing barriers to accessing treatments and support across health care needs are all important factors in optimizing midlife health. \nSWHR hosted an educational webinar to discuss the unique health challenges women face during midlife\, including strategies to maintain healthy work lives\, needs of women serving in caregiving roles\, and key health prevention and interventions\, to promote establishing and maintaining work-life-health harmony. \nThis is an SWHR event.
