Yesterday, the Biden administration, with Jill Biden leading the charge, declared a $100 million investment in women's health through the Advanced Research Projects for Health. Why should everyone care about this investment? Conditions that hit women harder than men often get the short end of the research and funding stick. And you know what that leads to? Long-term disparities in our quality of life. Bonus: These interactive charts really show you why.

Surge in endometriosis research after decades of underfunding could herald new era for women's health. Author Clare Watson states that 'advances in #organoids and the role of the #microbiome and #diet are leading to new #diagnostics and #treatments for #endometriosis, motivating a precision health approach to this long-neglected disease.' Source: https://lnkd.in/dSG2txJP. FEMaLe project is particularly proud to lead the latter through the utilisation of 'Lucy App', led by our WP5 dream team (Attila Bokor, Dora Balogh, Norbert Sziráczki, Adrienn Salamon, etc.). Users enter details about their menstrual cycle, health, medical history, what they eat, how they live, and any pain they feel. By connecting this information with patients' records defining diagnoses, healthcare usage, and using state-of-the-art machine learning methods, an 'Endometriosis Risk Score' has been created for each and every patient. This way, symptoms and their seriousness level is associated with dietary habits. Moreover, we are very please to experience how a renowned researcher as Hugo Vankelecom and his team, supported by a substantial grant from the BioInnovation Institute (BII) in Copenhagen, with the help of KU Leuven Research & Development, in the CurE-me (CURing EndoMEtriosis) project will explore new and better medicines, based on unique endometriosis organoid models. This 3-year incubation project is aimed at leading to a spin-off with IP remaining at KU Leuven. BII was also co-signatories for the 'Redesigning healthcare with women in mind' open letter launched at the World Annual Meeting in Davos. Led by FEMaLe project adviser Oriana Kraft and the FemTechnology Summit and Kearney, the open letter is a Call-to-Action to address the many disadvantages women face in today's global healthcare system, leaving them chronically misunderstood, mistreated, and misdiagnosed. Areas with high unmet needs and vast commercial potential, which is supported by World Economic Forum's 'Insights Report on Closing the Women's Health Gap', stating that "investments addressing the women’s health gap could potentially boost the global economy by $1 trillion annually by 2040." #female #letsmakelifebetter #1in10 #fempowerment #findingendometriosis #femtech #endometriosisawareness #womenshealth Lone Hummelshoj Dorte Rytter Mette Nyegaard Krina Zondervan Camilla Fabricius Stinus Lindgreen Nilufer Rahmioglu Dmitrijs Bļizņuks Sebastiaan Meijer Jayanth Raghothama Gert L.
