Gendered Innovation Alliance - Gender dimension for better Health
The Gendered Innovation Alliance is a platform for training, knowledge and experience exchange. Our aim is successful execution for inclusion of concepts of sex, gender and diversity (i.e. gender dimension) as biological and social variables in biomedical research and education to maximize individualized/personalized patient care and endorse the development of gendered innovations.
Why & How
KI Gendered Innovation Alliance
KI Gendered Innovation Alliance
We imagine a future where the gender dimension, especially in the research content, is the "new normal". Since sex, gender and diversity interconnects all areas of medical preclinical and clinical research, Gendered Innovation Alliance is uniquely set to collaborate broadly across disciplines in strategic partnerships together with the industry, healthcare providers and patient organizations.

Enabling Equitable Pain Management: Understanding gender bias in pain assessment and designing for equitable care delivery
Enabling Equitable Pain Management: Understanding gender bias in pain assessment and designing for equitable care delivery
A recent KTH master's thesis, by Anubhuti Gupta, captures how biases exist and affect both the actors’ (patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs) behaviours and actions throughout the pain management journey thus leading to a down-streaming effect on the treatment delivered. Based on the findings, new concepts were designed. The thesis was supervised by Karolina Kublickiene.

Pain, Sex and Death
Webinar by Jeff Mogil, Ph.D., F.R.S.C. McGill University
Pain researchers have now come to some consensus regarding the existence of small quantitative sex differences in the sensitivity to and tolerance of pain in humans. You might be surprised by what they found!
Watch the VIDEO or read the PDF - they are good learning tools.
