Miriam and Sarah chat to their lovely guest @Hannah Marcus about the startling level of unmet needs in women’s health, both in conditions that affect women/people with cervixes/uteruses etc e.g. endometriosis and those that are experienced by both men and women e.g. heart disease.
The discussion is inspired by The Women’s Health Strategy for England and fuelled by Hannah’s personal passion and professional research on Unmet needs in women’s health at discover.ai for the Women's Health Tech HIve, and her work with discover ai on periods, for the charity Bloody Good Period; menopause, for the charity Over the Bloody moon; and the very taboo topic of vaginal pain.
From data gaps, to FemTech, to clinical trials: it’s surprising, sad and shocking; revealing a wealth of opportunities for you to make a difference.
