H&H Group, Kerry to speak on maternal and women’s health
The focus will be on maternal and women’s health on the first day of the summit, where you can expect to hear from H&H Group and Kerry.
Dr Novita Puspasari, scientific affairs manager at H&H Group - the company behind Swisse and Biostime - will be presenting the topic “Women’s Health from the Perspective of Australian Consumers.”
Women’s health has become a growing segment in the VMS market, yet knowledge and education gaps persist. In her presentation, Dr Puspasari will outline how women’s health has become a priority for the company, the scientific rationale behind the company’s solutions and more.
Dr Celia Ning, senior director, Scientific Affairs, ProActive Health at Kerry, will present the topic “From Hormonal Chaos to Cycle Confidence: Creating the PCOS and Fertility Ecosystem.”
She will explain how science-backed nutritional ingredients can support women navigating hormonal imbalance and PCOS-related fertility challenges, with Kerry’s two-tier innovation approach as a case study.
She will also highlight how combining healthcare practitioners’ recommendations with consumer discovery could create scalable market growth opportunities in the women’s health category.
There would also be presentations by Morinaga Milk and Nuchev on infant nutrition and research.
