Starting in 2020, I suffered through a long, painful diagnostic odyssey to understand my debilitating chronic pain. I saw over 20 different specialists, had 10 different invasive pain relief procedures, and sat on a 6-month waitlist to see a neurologist, even in a major metro like New York City. I saw firsthand how our healthcare system is fundamentally broken for specialty care, particularly in areas like neurology and so many areas of women’s health. Data is not properly leveraged, specialist wait times are worsening, comprehensive care is scant, and fee-for-service visits aren’t aligned with longitudinal improvement. On top of this, many pain conditions disproportionately affect women, who have been left out of clinical research for an appalling number of decades. For example, women make up about 75% of the 30 million Americans who live with migraine. Neura Health was founded to help close the access gap and support the 140 million Americans who suffer from conditions like migraine, sleep disorders, multiple sclerosis, dementia, and others. We’re excited to be building in a time when many other women’s health companies are working to advance access and research in condition areas that disproportionately affect women. Today we’re honored to share our support and collaboration on Equal Research Day with Evvy. #EqualResearchDay #Healthcare #WomensHealth
It’s #EqualResearchDay! 💥 Evvy created #EqualResearchDay on June 10 because women weren’t required in U.S. clinical research until June 10th, 1993 (Think Equal Pay Day but for the gender health gap!) To this day, there are countless holes ⚫ in our scientific and medical understanding of the female body — and that directly impacts us as patients. If you’ve ever experienced delays in diagnoses, failed treatments, mystery symptoms with no answers, or medical gaslighting — #EqualResearchDay is for you. This year, we brought together 46 innovative companies and compiled 100 Effed Facts about the Gender Health Gap across 12 health areas: ⚫ Autoimmune Disease ⚫ Brain + Mental Health ⚫ Cancer ⚫ Endometriosis ⚫ Fertility ⚫ Heart Health ⚫ Hormonal Health ⚫ Maternal Health ⚫ Medical Gaslighting ⚫ Menopause ⚫ Menstrual & Sexual Health ⚫ Vaginal & Urinary Health Earlier this week, we launched a limited-edition coffee table book featuring all 100 Effed Facts to benefit Women's Health Access Matters (you can order a copy at EqualResearchDay.com before they sell out... !) But we decided these facts are too important not to share widely — so we are posting a public version here on LinkedIn. 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣: 💥 Share this post (and add your story about why equal research matters to you)! 💥 Learn more and shop the limited edition coffee table book to benefit WHAM at EqualResearchDay.com The female body shouldn’t be a medical mystery — together, let’s close the gender health gap for good. #equalresearchday2024 #evvy #genderhealthgap #closethegenderhealthgap ——— 2024 Equal Research Day Collaborative: Evvy Aavia adyn Allara AOA Dx Bloomer Tech Caraway Clue Cofertility Conceive Diem DotLab Doveras Elektra Health Elix Frame Gabbi Gaia Gameto Health In Her HUE HerMD Hey Jane The Honey Pot Company Iron Health Julie Products Inc.
