What impact is expected?

The DIGITENDER project anticipates a significant impact in various areas, highlighted by:

  NLP Applications

Access to high-quality lexicons in a multilingual, open, and interoperable format is expected to have a significant impact on the field of NLP. By making these resources available, the development of new applications that can benefit from a deeper and more specific understanding of terminology related to women's health is facilitated. These applications could range from improved automatic translation systems to virtual medical assistance tools that understand and communicate more effectively and sensitively about women's health issues. Open access and democratization of information: Provides open digital terminological resources to all users, facilitating informed decision-making in women's health. The availability of these resources not only promotes technological innovation but also ensures that the development of software and applications in the field of NLP can advance in a more inclusive manner, representative of women's needs and experiences.

  Open Access

The project commits to offering free access to a wide range of terminological resources specialized in women's health, ensuring that any user, from academics to health professionals and the general public, can access quality information without restrictions. This open-access policy, also for our publications and other project outputs, is crucial for democratizing knowledge, allowing a global audience to benefit from the latest findings and developments in the field. By removing economic and geographical barriers, greater education and awareness of women's health-relevant topics are facilitated, empowering individuals and communities to make informed decisions based on reliable and updated data.

  Strengthening Academic and Professional Dialogue

Presenting research at congresses and publishing studies in specialized journals encourage an enriched academic and professional dialogue about women's health. By sharing studies and linguistic analyses, DIGITENDER contributes to building a more informed and aware scientific community of the importance of language in the perception and treatment of women's health. This exchange of knowledge facilitates interdisciplinary collaboration, essential for addressing complex health issues from a holistic and integrated perspective.

  Public Education and Awareness

The dissemination of research through congresses and publications also plays a crucial role in the education and awareness of the general public. By making their findings accessible to a broader audience, DIGITENDER promotes greater awareness of the importance of language in the health and well-being of women. This can trigger a cultural shift towards greater gender equality, challenging misconceptions and sensitizing society to the specific needs and health challenges faced by women.

  Creating an Academic Legacy

Finally, the linguistic, terminological, and discursive research of DIGITENDER contributes to creating an academic legacy in the field of language study and women's health. Publications and presentations at congresses not only serve the present moment but become fundamental references for future research, educating and guiding new generations of researchers, terminologists, linguists, and health professionals on the importance of addressing women's health with a conscious and respectful language.

Thus, linguistic research extends the impact of DIGITENDER beyond online terminological resources, significantly contributing to a more just, informed, and gender-sensitive society in health matters.
