Daye’s Post

📱 Daye is tackling women's health taboos in the workplace. It recently launched Daye for Work, a B2B extension of its services that include a virtual period pain clinic, at-home tampon screening for fertility and infections, cycle tracking and an AI advisor to answer common problems. - 9 in 10 women and AFAB (assigned female at birth) individuals experience period pain every month. - 70% find it difficult dealing with periods at work. - 23% are forced to take time off work for menstrual symptoms. - 58% face stigma relating to menopause issues at work. 🏠 Futhermore, today Daye extended its at-home diagnostic screening services to include HPV infections. 99.8% of cervical cancer cases are caused by persistent high-risk HPV infections and the virus is also linked to throat and oral cancer, as well as fertility problems. 📈 Improved productivity by closing the healthcare gap could add $1T a year to the global economy by 2040 (McKinsey). 👀 Read more here on WellToDo:

We are thrilled at the news of The White House's first Initiative on Women's Health. 💌 This is a brilliant step in the right direction to start addressing the vast disparities within healthcare. 📈 Setting women's health as a priority sends a clear message to healthcare providers within the US, and across the globe. Women's health issues including: Endometriosis, Menopause, Vaginal Health, are no longer concerns to be sidelined or ignored. Women are advocating for their own health, and it is time for everyone to listen. 👂 We also really appreciate the recognition of the White House that gender is not the only axis along which people are discriminated against in health and research. Setting priorities that are inclusive provide much a much greater prerogative for equitable solutions for all, to be created. 👯♀️ This is not just a problem for half of society, correctly highlighted by White House stating: "We all have a part to play in galvanizing women’s health research, developing innovative and cutting-edge interventions that promote women’s health, and ensuring that women across the United States have access to high-quality health care." They are correct - we all have a part to play in creating a society whereby everyone feels listened to, heard, and healthy. 🧡 #whitehouse #womenshealth https://lnkd.in/emR6gj7c

Dismissal of symptoms, hysteria, Speculums, gravity (to delay preterm labor), Sitz bath, watchful waiting, no clinical guidance, maternity care deserts, no known causes, Lupron, warm compresses, manual tracking of contractions… It has been rewarding to contribute to research, knowledge, innovation, advocacy and be invited speak publicly about #womenshealth (including #maternalhealth) over the past years. Causes, diagnosis, prevention and management of health conditions that only, disproportionately, or differently affect girls, females, and women are still relatively under-researched, underfunded and under-invested in. Many existing treatments and interventions are in need of revision, simplification, being made more accessible and comfortable. It is encouraging that Women’s Health is garnering some deserved attention, a few over the past few months: ✅ the World Economic Forum x McKinsey report on the ~$1Trillion economic value of closing women’s health gap ✅ the White House Initiative on Women’s Health Research and recent $100M announcement of investment ✅ the amazing work by Liz Powell et al to organize founder/CEO, innovators, researchers, interest groups, individuals etc. to provide valuable insights to guide the former ✅ ARPA-H Sprint for Women’s Health ✅Women’s Health having ample ‘stage’ presence at JPM ‘24, VIVE ‘24 etc. ✅ More Personal Storytelling on various platforms ✅ Growing #femtech industry And so many more. This progress is not without challenges from various determinants of health, policy and investment lags, hence the persistence of many women’s health gaps. All stakeholders, men and women, need to ensure women are appropriately served by the health system. ❓What gaps have you observed (in annual PCP or gynecologist visits) that could help women be more proactive about their health? ❓What are other health gaps that if you had a magic wand, you’d love to narrow for the girls and women in your life? This week in #womenhistorymonth, I’ll be joining Kerstin Recker Alexandre, Dana Gilland and Rashmi R. Rao as we explore various aspects of Women’s Health. As part of the Health Tech Life Science Wellness and Fitness Alliance (HLWF), I am authoring an article that will be published at the end of the week.

The world of women's health is elated to hear from The White House about the new Initiative on Women's Health Research this week. Women have been demanding better care for decades and so many of us work daily to tell these stories and solve these centuries-long entrenched issues for women. I am thrilled about the action-oriented steps outlined in the initiative and hope for some long-awaited progress. Just a snippet from the Memorandum that could bring tears to my eyes: "To address pervasive gaps in our knowledge of women’s health, we must accelerate research on the unique health needs of women across their lifespans. Research gaps are especially acute for diseases and conditions that are more prevalent among women and for health conditions associated with women’s midlife and later years, including perimenopause and menopause. Gaps are often even more significant for those who have been historically underrepresented in, or excluded from, research. We can — and must — increase our efforts to invest in research that maximizes our ability to prevent, diagnose, and treat health conditions in women across the United States. Meaningful progress requires robust, dedicated research infrastructure — including a strong, diverse research workforce — and investment within and beyond the Federal Government. We all have a part to play in galvanizing women’s health research, developing innovative and cutting-edge interventions that promote women’s health, and ensuring that women across the United States have access to high-quality health care." There are so many fierce women advocating for us in DC. Thank you to Carolyn M. Mazure for leading this effort, Dr. Jill Biden for championing, and Liz Powell and Jamie White for your tireless work. https://lnkd.in/gqmx4zB6 #womenshealth #potus #flotus #policy #healthcare

Did you know that endometriosis isn't just a health concern, but also has significant economic implications? In the UK alone, it's estimated to cost the economy a staggering £8.2 billion annually in treatment, lost work hours, and healthcare expenses. Yet, the impact on the workplace often remains overlooked. Endometriosis can bring debilitating pain, fatigue, and other symptoms, affecting productivity and attendance. It's crucial to raise awareness and foster understanding in the workplace. Employers and colleagues can make a difference by offering support, flexibility, and accommodations to those dealing with endometriosis. Let's take action to improve organizational culture and wellbeing. Education in the workplace is key. Consider training programs and providing signposting to information and support resources. Together, we can create inclusive environments where everyone can thrive, despite health challenges. #EndometriosisAwareness #WorkplaceWellness #SupportInclusion #Empowerment #HealthAndWork #RaiseAwareness #EmpathyAtWork #EducationForChange https://lnkd.in/gx3C4JsZ.

The UK workforce risks the loss of millions of employees if workplace health care continues to be overlooked. The current lack of workplace support for women with menstrual and menopausal health symptoms has consequences. #menopause #menopauseintheworkplace #periods #womenandwork #menopausesupport #menopauseatwork

"Women make up half of the United States population, but for too long, a lack of timely research and data on women’s health has left health care providers without important tools to diagnose and treat millions of women with debilitating conditions, including cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, autoimmune disorders, mental health conditions, and conditions specific to women such as endometriosis and fibroids. Beyond the immediate health consequences, underinvesting in women’s health research can decrease women’s well-being and quality of life, hold women back in the workplace, and affect their families’ economic security. By contrast, increasing investments in women’s health research can yield broad societal gains, including lower health care costs and a more productive and inclusive workforce. To address pervasive gaps in our knowledge of women’s health, we must accelerate research on the unique health needs of women across their lifespans. Research gaps are especially acute for diseases and conditions that are more prevalent among women and for health conditions associated with women’s midlife and later years, including perimenopause and menopause. Gaps are often even more significant for those who have been historically underrepresented in, or excluded from, research." https://lnkd.in/gXF629K3 #womenshealth #womenshealthequity #healthequity #clinicaltrials #clinicalresearch
