Women+ digital health: Bridging the gap in female representation w/ Danika Kelly

Question: What do you do when you have a solution that helps unlock the largest possible target market in the country? 

If you answered, dig my heels in and keep going, you’d be right. But when that target market has been historically undervalued and overlooked, you might have your work cut out for you.

Hard work didn’t scare Danika Kelly. She saw value in women’s health where others saw nothing but complications. 

And then she rolled up her sleeves and got down to business. 

If you’ve been curious about fem tech, or just looking to push social innovation, drive business development, or simply be successful while doing some good in the world, we have you covered in this week’s episode!

 

Here are the show highlights:

  • Inclusion criteria and its effect on health tech (2:47)
