The “Gendered Innovations in Science, Health&Medicine, Engineering and Environment” is a project initiated by Stanford University in 2009. The goal of the project is to provide scientists and engineers with practical methods for sex and gender analysis. To match the global reach of science and technology, methods of sex and gender analysis were developed through international collaborations. The website contains several theoretical and practical resources concerning: methods of sex and gender analysis and checklist; case studies coming from different disciplines; intersectional design; policy recommendations and videos. A specific section of the website is devoted, among others, to the presentation of case studies that provides practical examples of how sex and gender analysis lead to gendered innovations in medicine. It is important to take into account and to integrate gender issues in innovation also in applying demand-driven and user-led/people-centric/open innovation process in healthcare.
