The Women’s Health Innovation Radar: Revealing Gaps and Opportunities Across the Science-to-Patient Journey

Advancing women’s health requires not only scientific progress but an innovation ecosystem capable of translating discovery into evidence, technologies and scalable solutions that improve outcomes for women globally. Yet, despite growing attention, the landscape remains fragmented, and many high-impact conditions continue to receive insufficient targeted innovation. The Women’s Health Innovation Radar insight report provides a comprehensive view of innovation across the full science-to-patient journey.

Advancing women’s health requires not only scientific progress but an innovation ecosystem capable of translating discovery into evidence, technologies and scalable solutions that improve outcomes for women globally. Yet, despite growing attention, the landscape remains fragmented, and many high-impact conditions continue to receive insufficient targeted innovation. The Women’s Health Innovation Radar insight report provides a comprehensive view of innovation across the full science-to-patient journey.

Developed by the World Economic Forum’s Global Alliance for Women’s Health, in collaboration with the Kearney Health Institute, the Gates Foundation and Wellcome Leap, the report maps activity from research funding and scientific publications to clinical trials and product development across 10 high-impact conditions. By creating greater transparency, the Radar highlights where innovation is advancing and where critical gaps persist. It offers a foundation to guide research priorities, inform policy decisions and mobilize investment towards areas of unmet need, helping to ensure that scientific advances translate into meaningful impact for women worldwide.
