Our founder, Valentina Milanova 🇺🇦, presented at the London Biotechnology Show this week on behalf of Daye and shared our mission to bridge the gender health gap through innovative femtech solutions. Some key takeaways from Valentina's talk: - Medical research has historically excluded women, with most modern medications never tested on the female physiology. This has led to a severe lack of data and understanding of women's health needs. - At Daye, we are developing a proprietary tampon platform to address female-specific healthcare needs in areas like menstrual pain relief, STI/HPV screening, fertility, and drug delivery. - Daye is also working to prevent cervical cancer through early HPV detection, as 99.8% of cervical cancer cases in the UK are preventable. Our tampons can improve access to cervical screenings. The London Biotechnology Show brought together influential leaders to explore cutting-edge biotech solutions transforming medicine and healthcare. We're proud Daye could be part of this important dialogue as we work to revolutionize women's health. Thank you to the organizers for an outstanding event!

This is an upsetting trend. We NEED investments and R&D in women's health. Let's rally to underscore the significant opportunities and move past the hesitancy in investing in moving women's healthcare areas forward. "Lack of funds is often a major reason biotech companies halt research of a drug candidate, or prioritize other programs. And larger companies have chosen to pursue other areas: Bayer, previously a major player in the women’s health sector, said last year it would shift focus from women’s health to immunology, rare diseases and neurology."

Springboard Enterprises and Accenture launched an initiative called “Re-defining Women’s Health” aimed and realized a report “State of Women’s Health” which underlines the problem of underfunding, underresearching and misunderstanding of Women’s Health/ Being Under-funded means that: only $1.1B of $26.5B VC capital invested in healthcare in 2023 went to women's health companies. only 1% globally invested in research and innovation for female-specific conditions beyond oncology FemTech accounts for 4% of all healthtech funding Research gaps: 64% of female-dominant diseases are underfunded by the NIH, compared to 8% for male-dominant diseases. During a 20-year period, only 43% of clinical trials reported sex and ethnicity data Women make up only about one-third of cardiovascular disease clinical trial subjects, despite it being their leading cause of death. Misunderstanding and bias: In 72% of cases, women waited longer for a diagnosis - moreover, they even wait on average 16 minutes longer in Emergency Departments for pain treatment than men. Also women are facing cruel stereotypes named 'emotional' or 'hysterical' by doctors when they experience chronic pain while men are considered to be 'brave' or 'stoic' What outcomes are there? Talking about Healthcare, for example, women twice less likely to recover after heart attack compared to men. There are 198 deaths per 100,000 women which could be 'prevented with the right care at the right time' in the US. But there is also a remarkable economic impact - a $300M investment in women-centric research is estimated to generate a $13B return, and this must be inspiring for investors! Also report remarks several entrepreneurs and companies working to address various women's health issues, including autoimmune diseases, bone health, primary care for older women, cognitive health, ovarian cancer detection, and ovarian biology research. Mette Dyhrberg, Founder and CEO of Mymee which offers clinically validated application which helps people with autoimmune disease. Laura Yecies, CEO of Bone Health Technologies which creates non pharmalogical therapeutic device to counteract bone density loss in postmenopausal women. Kristen Helton (Lloyd), CEO of Herself Health, company designed for care for 65+ women making their life better and easier. Yael Katz, Cofounder and former CEO of BrainCheck, developing tools for analyzing and making decisions about cognitive health. Oriana Papin-Zoghbi, Cofounder and CEO of AOA Dx, who is providing oncology care on all stages. Piraye Beim, PhD, Founder and CEO of Celmatix, a health-platform taking into account data on ovarian health to provide a better treatment.

On the occasion of International Longevity Day, let's recap: what is #longevity all about? 1. What is happening in the space? 🌌 "Longevity" is an umbrella term, covering the broad spectrum of actions and interventions one can take to extend their healthspan and lifespan. Longevity interventions thus range from supplements and disease prevention to cryonics and whole-body replacement. At one end we have Retro Biosciences (Sam Altman-funded company) signed a partnership earlier this year to enhance the production of cell therapies aimed at age-related diseases. Their programs include autophagy and in vivo reprogramming, both of which are directly performed inside the human body, as well as T-cell and hematopoietic stem cell reprogramming and microglia therapeutics, which are rejuvenated outside the body and transplanted back inside it. At the other end of the spectrum, take BrainBridge, a company that executes complete head and face transplantations by integrating advanced robotics and AI. 2. How long is it taking? ⏳ The speed of biotech acceleration is fundamentally lower than that of the tech space. This is a hard truth we have to acknowledge. In comparison, longevity biotech timelines are not necessarily longer than those in typical biotech, and BioAge Labs came to encourage us. The company focused on targeting the biology of aging entered the league of the publicly traded. Earlier this year, BioAge entered Phase 2 clinical trials of its lead candidate (azelaprag). Together with an Eli Lilly and Company drug, it aims to treat obesity in older adults while preserving muscle function. 3. What do we need? 👩🔧 Progress is hindered by multiple bottlenecks, ranging from the lack of funding and talent available to advocacy and how hard it is to understand and solve biological problems. Foundations like the Amaranth Foundation aim to map the bottlenecks of the space comprehensively. Here at LongX, we are a global team of longevity enthusiasts spanning a range of different backgrounds, united by one goal: 🌟 making longevity education and opportunities available to all.

I'm encouraged by the growing momentum in women's health research and development highlighted in this article. The focus on women's health has historically been overlooked, leading to underinvestment and limited treatment options for conditions that disproportionately affect women. It's encouraging to see the Biden administration's new research initiative and the increased private investment in women's health companies. However, challenges remain, including the stigma associated with women's health issues and the need for more clinical trial data to support innovative treatments. This is exactly why at Elle International we're deploying 1. ElleHealth, patient-driven data platform ensuring comprehensive, secure, and patient-controlled health information; and 2. ElleStudies, a research platform accelerating diagnostics, treatments, and cures for women's health. As we move forward, it's crucial that we continue to frame the conversation around women's health as healthcare, emphasizing the importance of addressing these conditions for the overall well-being of society. I'm optimistic that with continued investment and advocacy, we can drive meaningful change and improve outcomes for women's health globally. #WomensHealth #Healthcare #Investment #Innovation #SocialImpact

Today's #healthequity story is here. San Diego-drugmaker Daré Bioscience describes itself as the rare biotechnology company focused exclusively on women’s health, a category it says the broader industry has too often overlooked. But that identity can create hurdles, according to company CEO Sabrina Johnson. At times, she said, investors have been hesitant to fund research presented as women’s health, citing their unfamiliarity with the space. “How do we frame the conversation so that it’s clear, at the bottom line, that this is healthcare,” said Johnson, who has run Daré since 2017. “Across the ecosystem comprising academic and industry R&D, limited investment in women’s health research and development stagnates the required innovation needed to support women with these conditions and others across every stage of a woman’s life,” said Marcel van Duin, chief scientific officer at women’s health company Organon. #womenshealth #womenshealthcare #healthequality #femtech #femtech4india https://lnkd.in/dAi42akP
