Hello and welcome to Hacking Kaizen, I’m Graham Newman. Today, we’re off to London to discuss the future of women’s healthcare with Alison Slingsby, global lead of women’s health innovation at the pharmaceutical company Perrigo.

We explore the latest advancements in menstrual health products, the evolving perspectives on contraception and menopause care, and the transformative impact of generative AI in this vital healthcare sector.

Remarkable strides have been made in menstrual health, unveiling innovations designed to address the myriad of challenges women face—from managing menstrual flow to alleviating pain. These innovations span from sustainable sanitary protection options to new pain relief products, all aimed at enhancing the daily lives of women from adolescence through to menopause.

Recognizing the obstacles women encounter in accessing effective contraceptives, we delve into how to make these products more accessible. The aim is to empower women, enabling them to take charge of their reproductive health with confidence and ease.

Our conversation also examines the role of AI in revolutionising women’s health. We highlight how technology can facilitate better communication and personalised care, with examples such as tailored advice that enhances understanding between women and their partners.

By merging advanced technology, consumer insights, and strategic partnerships, the future of women’s healthcare is being reshaped—making it more accessible, personalised, and effective. Join us now as we uncover these groundbreaking innovations and insights on Hacking Kaizen.
