Women’s HealthX, the only event set to change the future of women’s health through data, science, and evidence-based innovation, launches in Boston this December
Published Date – 25 February 2026
Women’s HealthX (WoHX) is the number one event in women’s health, unifying the full lifecycle of female healthcare through data, science, and evidence-based innovation to close the sex difference data gap and drive better clinical outcomes for women worldwide.
On December 3–4, 2026 in Boston, Women’s HealthX will bring together 750 global leaders from pharma and biotech, hospitals and health systems, health insurers, employers, investors, startups, and government, all actively seeking proven technologies, data, and partners to advance women’s health care, research, and outcomes across the life course.
Unlike any other event, Women’s HealthX goes beyond discussion to focus on implementation of representative data sets to drive meaningful change. The exhibition directly addresses the conditions that affect women differently and disproportionately, across every stage of life.
Attendees will gain clear insight into which areas are overhyped versus underfunded, where the biggest evidence gaps remain, and how data, science, and evidence can drive measurable change in policy, reimbursement, product development, and clinical practice.
Julie Rios, Division Director, Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility at UPMC, shared why she is looking forward to attending: “I’m looking forward to connecting with innovators across women’s health to explore new technologies, collaborations, and care models that can help us solve our most complex reproductive health cases and improve outcomes for patients who currently have limited options.”
Taking place in Boston, the global hub for healthcare innovation, research, and medical institutions, whose collaborative ecosystem aligns perfectly with WoHX’s mission to accelerate the adoption of clinical solutions, and improve outcomes for women worldwide.
