There is a gender data gap in healthcare and that means long term consequences
Female-specific health issues are under-researched and under-invested.
Women’s pain, symptoms and concerns are taken less seriously and treated less aggressively.
Diagnostic tests and treatments are based on male physiology.
Artificial intelligence companies are building biases directly into their technology.
Why are we starting with menopause?
Massive need
Nearly 1 billion people worldwide are coping with menopause. Over 80% say that symptoms interfere with their daily life and nearly half say it has made work difficult or even untenable.
Broken current care model
Less than 10% of women in the UK say they are happy with the care they receive and over 90% of women in the US say they want non-invasive solutions.
Long-term health implications
The issues that affect women in later life, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and dementia can be triggered at menopause. Improving the care and treatment for a woman in her 50s and 60s can fundamentally help to tackle these issues early-on.
Vira is a digital health company focused on improving long-term health for women. We do this by addressing female-specific conditions and improving the collection and use of female data in healthcare.
