Tech4Eva Conference 2023

Lisa has been working in the interface between medicine and technology for almost 20 years, on how data can be used to better understand the human body. Doing so she has worked within varying fields of women’s health, such as bone research, diabetes and fertility.

She was previously Director of Data Science at Ava, the first Swiss FemTech startup, where she led a team developing algorithms and artificial intelligence to help women get pregnant faster by using their physiological data over the menstrual cycle. The work she did there, and the women I encountered in the process, inspired her to write “Go Figure! The astonishing science of the female body.” The book unravels the mystery surrounding women’s biology and explains what is happening underneath the surface - from puberty to menopause. She now works as a consultant where she help companies anywhere along their data and AI journey.
