Introduction: The 2025 Era of Gender-Specific Medicine
By 2025, the healthcare system has changed significantly, with gender-specific, individualised care now the norm. According to research, 83% of major health conditions have biological sex differences that affect how the disease presents, progresses, and responds to treatment. As more people realise that one-size-fits-all medicine is outdated, the market for gender-specific medications has expanded to $42.7 billion globally.
This evidence-based, 2,500+ word guide examines:
- Innovations in Women’s Health (reproductive technologies, hormonal health, conditions unique to women)
- Innovations in Men’s Health (prostate health, androgen control, male-specific prevention)
- Prevention Strategies Particular to Gender (screening, lifestyle, early detection)
- Disparities in Mental Health (gender-based psychological approaches)
- Ageing and Longevity (sex-specific ageing interventions and patterns)
