Teal Health

As a predominately female team, we are all longtime subscribers and avid Most Powerful Women Daily readers, so we were over the moon to hear Emma Hinchliffe would be sharing our $10M fundraise news and highlighting the amazing work of our powerhouse CEO, Kara Egan. Her passion and smarts has us building not only the first at-home cervical cancer screening device in the US, but it will be supported with a kit that is unmatched in the industry, technology support that informs and educates, clear communications, and a team of thoughtful medical providers ready to hop on a video call. It may soon be the first time women are doing this screening process on their own - privately and comfortably at home - but at no time will they feel alone in the process. #tealhealth #womenshealth #femtech #MPWDaily #femaleCEO

We co-hosted a great event yesterday alongside the JPM Healthcare Conference in San Francisco. The room was buzzing with energy, packed with women innovators, thought leaders, and passionate advocates for improving healthcare.

It’s clear there’s a remarkable group of women out there working tirelessly to create better solutions and outcomes for all.

It is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. Help us share the importance of cervical cancer screening and we will donate to the American Cancer Society on your behalf! See details here (requires an Instagram account): https://bit.ly/4aaZ7ND The power to eliminate cervical cancer in the U.S. is in sight - but it requires everyone with a cervix to routinely screen. Today, fewer women are screening because the current experience can be challenging - an invasive exam that requires an in-person appointment. After extensive testing, the Teal Wand at-home screening device is under FDA review - the final step before it can be available. Together, with a more accessible and comfortable screening option, we have the power to eradicate cervical cancer. See the link above for how to help donate.

Thank you IDEO for being an incredible partner and for your continued support to spread awareness on this critical cancer screening.

Our very own Head of Marketing and Communications, Mallory Walsh shares how it is time to focus on trust, empathy and choice in our healthcare communications — elements that are paramount to how we are building our at-home cervical cancer screening platform in support of women and people with a cervix.

We’re honored to be included in the Fortune Well list of 20 innovative breakthroughs transforming health! There were some milestone moments this year in the cervical cancer screening world, with FDA approval for in-clinic self-collection and the screening guidelines recognizing Primary HPV as the recommended screening test - but the real game-changer is what’s coming next: The Teal Wand, our at-home cervical cancer screening, which is a self-collection device for Primary HPV testing. We are so incredibly proud to be recognized for our work in advancing women’s health and are truly excited for the year to come. Stay tuned! #WomensHealth #Healthcare #CervicalCancer #Femtech https://lnkd.in/gkzuK-KY

Special thank you to Paddington Mundagowa for helping to present our data about cervical cancer screening within the LGBTQ+ community at the American Public Health Association annual conference this past weekend. We also put together a research deep dive for those of you who want to learn more. ▶️ Around 13% of our clinical study participants identified as gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, or queer, while 2% identified as trans, gender non-conforming, or genderqueer. ▶️ Research shows LGBTQ+ individuals are 50% less likely to engage in cervical cancer screening, often because of provider biases and feeling uncomfortable with the speculum exam. ▶️ In our study, we consistently see that LGBTQ+ individuals preferred screening with the Teal Wand, and felt empowered and in control when doing so. We hope that the Teal Wand can bring a crucial screening option to this community, and all those who are underscreened.* Check out our APHA poster at https://bit.ly/4hgZpGd. *The Teal Health Cervical Cancer Screening device is an Investigational Device and is under review by the US FDA. #tealhealth #womenshealth #lgbtqhealth #papsmear #femtech
