Every heartbeat holds a promise - a hope for a healthy future. Yet, some challenges are invisible at birth. Newborn screening can detect hidden conditions, making the invisible visible. Early detection through newborn screening means timely management and treatment, enabling the chance of a healthy future. On #InternationalNeonatalScreeningDay, join Vertice Lab & Diagnostics, in partnership with Revvity, in raising awareness on the importance of a heel prick at birth. From heel to heal(thy), it can make a lifetime of difference. #HeelToHealthy #HeelToHeal #HeelPrickTest #NewbornScreening #Revvity

Today, on "World Sight Day 2024", we unite under the global theme "Love Your Eyes Kids" to shine a light on children’s eye health. This October 10th, we recognize that early intervention is key, as "14% of childhood blindness globally is caused by pediatric cataracts"—a preventable condition when detected and treated early. Millions of children face undiagnosed vision issues that can hinder their growth, learning, and development. By prioritizing regular eye exams, raising awareness, and providing access to eye care, we can ensure that no child’s future is limited by vision impairment. At Lenskart Foundation, we’re dedicated to empowering children with the gift of clear sight, so they can see the world with confidence and embrace all that life has to offer. Join us this World Sight Day as we spread the message that every child deserves clear vision. Together, let’s work to create a world where every child can see a bright and limitless future. 💙👓 #WorldSightDay2024 #LoveYourEyesKids #PediatricCataracts #EyeCareForAll #empowerthroughvision

🏅 Don't Forget Your Skittles - I write about why it's important to celebrate our accomplishments, recalling an interaction with one of my daughters when she was much younger. It's a 2 min read. Here's some brief context As we get older, our lives become busier and more complicated. There's more to do. There's more at stake. There's more to balance. We're always trying to catch up, and sometimes we're simply trying to be a little less far behind. Time becomes a resource to be optimized or efficiently used; checklists serve as our guide. We finish one shift, paper, or project, and move on to the next. After all, there's so much more to be done. We do this despite knowing there will always be one more shift, one more paper, or one more project... Intrigued? The full article is available free via the included link. I would love to hear your thoughts from you all and learn what you're celebrating.

A big shout out to all the amazing humans (both Elvie employees and user-research participants) behind the newly launched Stride 2. YEARS of hard work in the making. This pump is deeply rooted in a product team that values listening to the experts (pumpers!) and evolving an "already good" product to honour their feedback and ideas. More brain, heart, time, and effort (not to mention boobs and milk) has gone into this pump than goes into the average femtech product because Elvie genuinely ticks differently. A particular favourite triumph about this product for me: Elvie has forgone an obvious 💴 🐄 (🥛 pun intended!) chance to sell pumps in six sizes or 6-size accessories as add-ons. Instead, Elvie puts all six sizes in each box. It's not the done thing, industry-wise; it's legitimately bonkers! Bonkers, but worthwhile. Just like the physical and mental burden of pumping milk to sustain the life of another human or two. Elvie honours those folks and believes they deserve every comfort and innovation we can give them as a company and as a society. I feel so honoured to be a tiny ⚙️ in the Elvie process. #Elvie #FemTech
