S305 - The Role of Data Modelling for Better Outcomes in Women’s Health
Tuesday October 6, 2026 09:00 - 10:00 UTC
Dr Rachael Duncan will introduce the session that brings together leading speakers to explore how advanced data modelling can improve outcomes in women’s health, particularly through equity-focused and locally led approaches. The session also highlights the importance of women as data scientists and modellers to ensure better healthcare outcomes. Dr Halima Twabi highlights capacity building in Sub-Saharan Africa, emphasising strengthening local expertise, supporting women data scientists, and applying advanced statistical and causal inference methods to complex health challenges. Dr Annabel Sowemimo contributes a critical perspective on structural inequalities, addressing racism and the need to decolonise healthcare systems. Dr Lucy Teece focuses on with insights from industry on the role of biometrics in cancer drug development. Together, the speakers demonstrate how inclusive, collaborative modelling approaches can generate more relevant, impactful, and equitable evidence for women’s health research and policy.
