On day one, Deepapriya Velumani: NPD Brand lead, Wellness and Katherine Miranda-Mendoza: CSPU Lead – APAC and China at Haleon will deliver a keynote talk titled: ‘Connected and customised: The new normal for women’s health and wellness’
They said: “While half of the world’s population is female, and women accounting for 80% of consumer purchasing decisions in health care, it is surprising that women’s health is often underserved. With a huge gap on understanding female-specific conditions in healthcare coupled with often stigmatisation and misunderstanding of female-conditions added to the fact that as primary caregiver, women often neglect their own health in favour of others, this often leaves them with physical and emotional distress not properly cared for.
“This presentation will provide an overview of the current and emerging trends and changes happening on women’s healthcare needs and how Haleon provides tailormade solutions to support women’s health and wellness journey across life stages.”
Key Takeaways will include:
- The importance of a focus and interest in holistic, natural approaches to women’s health
- Personalised approaches to women’s healthcare are evolving, from emerging trends to a changing consumer landscape
- How Haleon is seeking to offer customised solutions for Women with superior science across the life stages
