Top Story
For women with rare diseases, every symptom can feel like a question mark, and every answer takes too long to arrive. Research shows women wait nearly two years longer than men for a diagnosis, losing precious time to bias and neglect.
This imbalance is now meeting its disruptors. AI genomics firms like Congetica and FDNA are weaving sex as a core biological variable, while wearables and patient-led platforms are rewriting how women’s health data is gathered, shared, and believed.
The next generation of medicine will not just be personalized, it will be equitable. Explore the innovators closing healthcare’s most persistent gender gap. HLTH's Maggie O'Donovan brings the insights. Read Here!
