How breakthroughs in technology are making a difference.\\n\\nSignificant strides have been made in our society’s willingness to discuss once taboo health topics such as mental health, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. So why still the stigma associated with talking about women’s pelvic floor issues, to the point where there are limited to no effective and modern treatments available to the many women who suffer in silence? Especially with this affecting, at one point or another in their lives, two billion of the women alive today, the femtech industry is projected to grow at over 16% year over year in the next 5 years. We have no trouble referring to child birth, cancer, or connective tissue disorders which (among other things) cause pelvic floor problems, but seemingly not the pelvic floor problems themselves. \\n\\nMeet Hyivy and Cosm Medical, two companies on a mission to change the conversation and apply 21st century technology to creating new solutions: additive manufacturing, the internet of things (IoT), material science, data science, and AI, along with a healthy dose of rational openness to talking equally about any part of a human being that needs a treatment option.\\n\\nWe hope you are able to join us on March 22, 2022 for what is sure to be an exciting and informative discussion.\\n\\nIf you have a few extra minutes, there will also be 10 minutes of audience Q&A after the discussion.\\n\\n\\nJoin us as we sit down with some of the best and brightest to discuss the innovation of today and tomorrow!\\n\\nMore than ever, our society and economy need innovation to thrive and stride into the future. Fortunately, at the University of Waterloo and in its surrounding ecosystem, we have many of Canada's leading enterprises working on and succeeding at doing just that. Some are established and transforming rapidly to lead in the world around us.  Others are new, you’ve likely never heard of them before, but are the bright sparks we need to shine light on our path forward..\\n \\nAt UWaterloo, we created the GEDI Exchange to bring these bright sparks together to start a fire: to pool ideas, find ways to cooperate and collaborate, to solve problems better, to address new markets and customers … in short, to get something cooking. It really is a race out there to find the best ideas and innovators, and to team up with them. Tune into this webinar series to find out who they are, what they do, and get connected with them.\\n \\nWe’ll keep it short too: these days we’re all in many webinars. So just 30 minutes for our GEDI Exchange members and ecosystem partners to present their viewpoints and new ideas. If you have a few extra minutes, there’s also 10 minutes of audience Q&A after that.\\n\\nFor more information contact: gedi.info@uwaterloo.ca\\n\\n \\n\"", "startDate":"2022-03-22", "endDate":"2022-03-22", "startTime":"13:00", "endTime":"13:40", "location":"", "label":"Add to Calendar", "options":[ "Apple", "Google", "iCal", "Microsoft365", "Outlook.com", "Yahoo" ], "timeZone":"US/Eastern", "trigger":"click", "inline":true, "listStyle":"modal", "iCalFileName":"invite.ics" }
