She is also co-founder of the Nordic Women’s Health Hub and editor at TechTruster.

- Dr Brittany Barreto is an advocate for advancing innovation in women’s health and wellness with a focus on raising awareness, catalyzing investment and innovation, and providing data-driven insights and strategic advice.
