Women in HealthTech Breakfast - Menopause, Perimenopause and Andropause (Manopause) in the Workplace
Midlife health is increasingly intersecting with peak career stages, yet menopause remains one of the least discussed factors impacting workforce performance, confidence and retention. This Women in Health Tech breakfast panel brings together clinical, workplace and lived experience perspectives to explore how menopause and perimenopause are shaping the modern workforce. Grounded in emerging New Zealand evidence, including insights from The Silent Transition, the discussion will focus on what this means for leaders, teams and organisations, and where practical support and awareness can make a meaningful difference. This session is designed to move beyond awareness, offering a balanced and practical conversation for those leading, working within, and supporting high-performing teams.
Collaborating for Success in AI Health Research
Interested in AI for health? We're back, showcasing leading projects and continuing the conversation about enabling research and innovation. Improving health with AI requires collaboration across disciplines and organisations, drawing on expertise in healthcare, computer science, engineering, data science, social science, and innovation. This workshop aims to bring together a diverse group of stakeholders for an engaging conversation exploring how to enable collaborative AI in health research.

Design for Manufacture in Medical Device Development
This workshop focuses on practical Design for Manufacture considerations across the medical device development lifecycle. Translating medical research into real-world medical technologies requires more than scientific innovation. It requires an understanding of how a product will ultimately be manufactured, scaled, and delivered to clinicians and patients.

Digital Health Week Conference 2026 - Submissions close June 1
Submissions are now open for Digital Health Week Conference 2026. Digital health is about how information, technology, and systems support better care. It includes everything from clinical systems and data sharing through to AI, infrastructure, service design, and the way people actually use these tools in practice. This conference brings that full picture together. We’re inviting submissions from across the sector and the wider community - health, disability, social services, technology, research, education, policy, and industry. If your work connects to improving health and wellbeing through digital approaches, we’d like to hear from you.
