Economic Models for Successful Women's Health Innovation

October 14, 2026
Translating clinical value into sustainable reimbursement and adoption pathways remains one of the biggest barriers to scaling women's health innovation. Understanding how new care models fit within payer, employer and provider financing structures is critical to moving solutions from promising pilots to widely adopted services. This session explores the economic models shaping the future of women's health. Speakers will examine how reimbursement pathways differ across government programmes, commercial insurance and self-funded employer plans, and how innovators can position their solutions within these systems. Panellists will also discuss the evidence, outcomes data and contracting strategies required to demonstrate economic value to healthcare purchasers. By examining how new services move from pilot programmes to reimbursed care pathways, this discussion provides practical insight into how women's health innovations can successfully scale within the healthcare system.
