FemTech Breakfast
Tuesday 16 Jan 2024 – 08:30-09:30 – Room: TEMPLAR’S HALL
The term “femtech” was coined in 2016 by Ida Tin, a Danish entrepreneur and the co-founder of the women’s menstruation tracking app, Clue. Today the term “femtech” -or “female technology” refers to products and services that enable digital health to respond to the rising awareness of specific unmet needs of women’s health. Femtech promotes digital health technology including technology-enabled software, diagnostics, products, and services that appeal to women, effectively contributing to the management of women-only health issues.
According to Fortune Business Insights, the global Femtech market size was valued at USD 5.79 billion in 2022. The market is projected to grow from USD 6.69 billion in 2023 to USD 20.59 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 17.4% during the forecast period.
Digital health arguably can advance empowerment through information, improving timely access to quality health and health care. However, gender imbalance and stereotypes frequently creep into digital health app design leading to barriers to access and exclusion, for significant parts of the population. Therefore, Femtech attempts to highlight and respond to the historical and systemic exclusion of women's health needs in the healthcare industry.
In this breakfast meeting, we plan to share stories and ideas on how Femtech innovation can lead to supportive digital health interventions, breaking down silos, lowering barriers, and improving access to health and care. Indicative questions to address include how we rate a digital health app from a Femtech perspective, what are safety measures and characteristics we look for trust and privacy, aspects of evaluating such technologies and mechanisms of incorporating them in standard care to contribute to individual wellbeing and system-level resilience.
An overarching aim will also be to see how we can all work together across sectors, professions, and disciplines to bridge some of the gaps that digital health inadvertently creates and to address the inequalities it may potentially exacerbate.

OneAquaHealth: Linking urban aquatic ecosystems and human health with HL7 FHIR
Tuesday 16 Jan 2024 – 11:30-13:00 – Room: CONFERENCE HALL (GROUND FLOOR)
Panel: Anne Moen University of Oslo, Geroge Koutalieris Enora Innovation, Eleni Kokinou Mediteranean University, Eleni Petelos Maarstrict University, Christos Lionis U of Crete, Catherine Chronaki, HL7 Europe.
The OneAquaHealth project aims to improve stainability and integrity of urban freshwater ecosystems by investigating the interconnection of ecosystem health and human wellbeing. The identification of early warning indicators aspires to enhance environmental monitoring with AI-assisted tools to support decision-makers. In this way, adequate and timely decisions towards effective measures will help restore the health of aquatic ecosystems and promote OneHealth.
This panel aims to support better insights in how to foster the use of environmental observation to meet OneHealth challenges with health interventions that activate citizens’ vigilance and create thriving communities. Exploring links between the health of nature, aquatic ecosystems and human health, panelists will explore different perspectives ranging from technology and early warning systems to managing health and personal well-being.

Interoperability of Primary Child Health Data
Wednesday 17 Jan 2024 – 11:30-13:00 – Room: TEMPLAR’S HALL
Leaders: Liesbeth Siderius, Marc de Graauw, NL
Promoting the dissemination and generation of knowledge on rare diseases in children depends on the availability and interoperability of primary child health data. A lot of work has been going on in a variety of places to further this development, including presentations at LOINC conferences in Annecy and Atlanta, as well as discussions in the X-eHealth project and in the IPS community. A first draft HL7 FHIR Implementation Guide for Rare Diseases in Child Health is available and will be a topic for discussion during this session. A strong connection is also felt with the CHOICE project (Child Health Obstretics International Collaboration and Exploration).
Notified Pull
Wednesday 17 Jan 2024 – 14:00-15:30 – Room: TEMPLAR’S HALL
Niek van Galen, Eky Kaelani, Gino Canessa, Nictiz, NL
Notified Pull is an exchange concept, just like Pull (query) and Push (send). A Notified Pull (NP) involves sending a notification to the requester and then conducting a targeted query. This is also called Sender Intent Based Receiver Pull (SIRP). Nictiz has participated in the international discussion about Notified Pull in FHIR in the FHIR-I work group during the last 2 international HL7 WGM’s. These conversations were initiated following a Technical Agreement for Notified Pull created by a Dutch work group. There is overlap with Subscriptions in FHIR. Therefore, it might be interesting for a broader group of stakeholders to start the discussion on Notified Pull as Nictiz believes that international alignment is mandatory. Relevant links
