Talk
Clinical Preeclampsia and Advances in Screening and Testing
"Value of early risk prediction, screening, & digital intervention in preterm birth avoidance" Speakers will discuss challenges of preterm birth, including preeclampsia, and highlight case studies from Ovia Health, a digital health intervention tool that can improve patient engagement, reduce preterm births and associated negative clinical and economic outcomes.
Session Abstract – PMWC 2023 Silicon Valley
Track Co-Chairs:
Linda Giudice, UCSF
Yoel Sadovsky, UPMC
Researchers have long been recognizing the uniqueness of women’s health and its substantial effect on clinical practice, acknowledging the increasing appreciation of the importance of multidisciplinary approaches to health and disease. In every organ system, there are diseases that are unique to women, more common in women than in men, or characterized by differences in disease course in women compared to men. This Track will focus on the following topics related to Women’s Health:
