Impacting Health care delivery with AI NOW.

Worlds collided today! I have been reviewing potential grant opportunities for Rua Diagnostics to pursue, and today saw the paragraph pictured below - from the Department of Defense no less. I cannot count how many times I have used the phrases 'differently and disproportionately', or 'sex as a variable' in speaking or writing while I was working at FemHealth Insights. And I can’t express how I feel seeing these words in a non-women's health focused funding announcement from CDMRP with an emphasis on both outcomes and knowledge for women's health. Early detection of disease saves lives but in order to detect disease in different patient populations, we must understand how disease presents in those patient populations. Assuming one size fits all in healthcare has proven to only result in more harm. I am very excited to see what knowledge these new funding initiatives bring us! And Rua will conduct our research with a continued emphasis on ensuring that we include diverse patient populations in all of our studies and always include sex and race as variables in any analysis!!!! #healthequity #diversity #femalehealth #medicalresearch #funding

As I look forward into a new year and enjoy the final days of my vacation (picture from an amazing dog sledding experience), I'm reflecting on the power of personal narratives. In my own journey with breast cancer, I found so much strength in the voices of others; in communities of survivors and thrivers sharing their experience and lessons to alleviate some of the discomfort and pain felt along the way, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. Tips and tricks you don’t hear through the standard course of treatment, but found through a patchwork quilt of interpersonal connections and online communities woven together. As a result, finding the connection you need isn’t always easy, but when you finally do: it can radically transform your life. By amplifying the voices of patients and their caregivers, we can build a more patient-centered system: -A system where individuals can find support, guidance, and hope in the narratives of others who went through the same thing -A system where companies actively listen to the experiences of patients to offer more empathetic and holistic care plans -A system where regulators know how to engage with and educate those they represent to build a more equitable society With all of this in mind, this year, let’s commit to: -Listening deeply: To truly understand the patient experience and translate it into meaningful solutions. -Sharing our own stories: To build empathy and foster a more human-centered approach to healthcare. -Advocating for change: Together, we can create a healthcare system that is equitable, accessible, and truly patient-centered. I would love for you to join me in that mission, so be sure to follow for more - there’s an exciting announcement coming up in just a few weeks I don’t want you to miss! 🙂 Wishing you all a year filled with health, happiness, and meaningful connections. #NewYearsDay #NewYear2025 #HealthcareInnovation #PatientStories #HumanCenteredHealthcare #Founder #WomeninBusiness
