Bioengineering solutions to improve women's health

In recognition of The International Day of Action for Women's Health on May 28^th, we bring together a collection of Voices highlighting the need for innovative solutions to tackle long-standing women's health challenges from a bioengineering perspective. Many common diseases manifest differently in women, and an insufficient understanding of the underlying mechanisms as well as a lack of tailored treatment strategies continue to impact health outcomes. Bioengineered organoids, organ-on-chip systems, and biomaterials hold promise as tools to dissect pathological mechanisms in reproductive health, cancer, autoimmune diseases, and musculoskeletal health, while tailored diagnostic and therapeutic strategies can enhance the efficacy of clinical interventions. An interdisciplinary approach uniting technological, translational, and clinical research is essential to realize the full potential of bioengineering solutions to improve women's health.
