This dissertation project, titled ‘Challenging the ‘Male Default’ Paradigm: Utilising Advanced Data Visualisation to Raise Awareness of Gender Bias in Healthcare,’ aims to use innovative data visualisation techniques to shine a spotlight on gender bias in healthcare, enabling a more inclusive and equitable approach to medical decision-making, research, and patient care. The “Male Default” paradigm in healthcare is a critical concern that this project intends to address. Historically, medical research and healthcare practices have predominantly centered around male data, often neglecting the unique health needs and experiences of individuals who identify as female.
