New partnership aims to close the gender health research gap through innovative AI-powered platform
Copenhagen, September 11, 2024 – Femtech Insider, the globally leading platform for women’s health innovation, and Proem, a collaborative AI-powered research dissemination platform, today announced a groundbreaking partnership to make the latest women’s health research accessible to a wider and more diverse audience. This partnership, unveiled at TechBBQ in Copenhagen, marks a significant step towards closing the gender health research gap and democratizing scientific knowledge in women’s health.
The gender health research gap has long been a critical issue in healthcare. Women were not required to be included in U.S. clinical research until 1993, and even in 2024, significant disparities persist. This gap has led to inadequate understanding of women’s health issues, misdiagnoses, and treatments that may be less effective or even harmful for women. The new partnership between Femtech Insider and Proem aims to address these issues by creating a comprehensive, continuously updated Women’s Health Research Tracker based on a unique fingerprint created to ensure that a diverse set of research fields are presented.
Kathrin Folkendt, Founder and CEO of Femtech Insider, emphasized the importance of this initiative: “The gender health gap persists partly due to a lack of visibility and accessibility of women’s health research. By partnering with Proem AI, we’re not just aggregating data – we’re giving our audience access to an AI-powered platform that will showcase the current state of women’s health research, identify critical gaps, and catalyze innovation in the field. This unique research tracker is our proactive step towards ensuring that women’s health research gets the attention and application it deserves.”
Proem has built an innovative platform, which uses cutting-edge AI and conversational design to summarize and explain scientific research, that powers the Women’s Health Research Tracker. The tool will provide concise, accessible summaries of the latest studies, making it easier for researchers, healthcare professionals, and the general public to stay informed about advancements in women’s health.
Geet Khosla, Co-fouder and CEO of Proem, stated: “Our mission aligns perfectly with Femtech Insider’s goals. By making scientific research more accessible, and understandable we’re not just informing people – we’re providing tools for the deep, critical thinking needed to solve society’s greatest challenges, including in women’s health.”
This new partnership is set to have far-reaching effects on women’s health innovation:
- Accelerating Research Understanding: By providing easy-to-digest summaries of complex studies, the tracker will speed up the dissemination of new findings.
- Inspiring Innovation: Increased access to the latest research can spark new ideas and approaches in women’s health technology and treatments.
- Empowering Patients and Providers: Better-informed patients and healthcare providers can make more educated decisions about health and treatment options.
- Highlighting Research Gaps: The tracker will make it easier to identify areas where more research is needed, potentially influencing future study directions.
Looking ahead, Folkendt shared her vision for the future of women’s health research: “Our hope is that in a few years, we can celebrate the closing of the gender health research gap. This partnership with Proem AI is a significant step towards that goal. By making cutting-edge research more accessible, we’re empowering a new generation of researchers, innovators, and healthcare providers to drive meaningful change in women’s health. This tracker is more than just a tool – it’s a catalyst for a future where women’s health is fully understood, prioritized, and innovated upon.”
