Women Not Included: Medical Devices

Listen in app
CPR mannequins, medical implants and surgical tools. These are life changing and lifesaving medical devices. But when they are built around male bodies, what does that mean for everyone else?
Through expert insight, Dr Ella Hubber and journalist Candice Bailey uncover how gaps in research can lead to higher complication rates in women, why the “one-size-fits-all” design method falls short, and how even the operating theatre can fail women.
As awareness grows, they also ask what change can look like and whether the tools used in healthcare can finally serve every body.[EH1.1]
