Black women face disproportionate risks of maternal mortality from hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, yet their experiences with endometriosis remain underexamined in research. This talk explores the overlooked intersection between endometriosis and preeclampsia/eclampsia, highlighting systemic gaps in U.S. studies and their consequences for Black maternal health. By reframing endometriosis beyond pain, this presentation calls for inclusive, equity-driven research to inform early detection, clinical care, and policy aimed at reducing preventable maternal deaths.

Break down why the promise of AI in healthcare continues to fall short, and how we can flip the script by making women clinicians, entrepreneurs, investors and patients co-architects of tech solutions. From biased algorithms and workflow mismatches to fiscal investment and marketing, this session focuses on building better systems starting with the end goal of equitable care in mind.

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy affect an increasing number of women in the United States and increase the risk of both postpartum morbidity and mortality as well as later-life cardiovascular disease. However, postpartum women often face barriers to traditional in office care and the rapidly changing hormonal and hemodynamics of the immediate postpartum period merit more continuous rather than episodic monitoring. In this talk, I will cover the current landscape of digital solutions to improve the care of postpartum patients as well as future opportunities.
