Sommario/riassunto

This book, Sex, Gender, and Emerging Technology in Healthcare: Mitigating Bias and Fostering Equity, is a timely and comprehensive exploration of how sex and gender influence health, disease, and



medical research. With increasing recognition of the critical role that biological sex and gender identity play in health outcomes, this book seeks to bridge the gaps in current understanding and offer practical insights for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers. The motivation behind this book stems from a growing awareness of sex and gender disparities in medicine. Historically, research has often been conducted using male subjects as the default, overlooking the distinct biological, physiological, and sociocultural factors that affect health in women and gender-diverse populations. This oversight has contributed to inequities in diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. By integrating cutting-edge research across multiple disciplines, this book responds to the urgent need for a more inclusive and nuanced understanding of health and disease. The aim of this book is to provide a foundational and advanced exploration of sex and gender differences in health, using an interdisciplinary approach that integrates biology, neuroscience, pharmacology, oncology, environmental health, and machine learning. The book's scope includes the latest research on sex-specific disease mechanisms, gender-sensitive clinical practices, and innovative methodologies for studying these differences. It presents these topics at both foundational and advanced levels, making the book accessible to a broad audience while remaining a valuable resource for experts.
