Utilising Existing Clinical Data for Gender-Specific Health Improvements.

In this new episode of Narratives of Purpose's special series from the 2025 HIMSS European Health Conference, host Claire Murigande speaks with Equal Care Founder and CEO Thao Nguyen.

Equal Care is rewriting medicine with precision, equity and inclusion by certifying prevention, diagnostics, and treatments with sex and gender balanced clinical data.

Thao's insights reveal an optimism for the future, with expectations for increased recognition and implementation of gender-specific practices across the healthcare continuum, ultimately leading to a paradigm shift that will benefit patients, healthcare providers, and the pharmaceutical industry alike.
