Our Mission
Our mission is to address women’s health inequity by easy access to the most current women’s health information and education from credible, science-based sources so that they can become experts on their own health, make better choices, and benefit from longer, healthier lives.
What is Women’s Health Inequity?
Women’s bodies are remarkably complex. They operate on interconnected hormonal, metabolic, neurological, and reproductive systems that shift not just month to month but across every life stage. This affects everything from how symptoms present, how medications work, and how diseases progress.
Women’s health inequity refers to the persistent and systemic gaps in research, diagnosis, treatment, and health outcomes that disproportionately affect women. Historically women have been excluded from clinical trials because their hormonal complexity adds expense. This has resulted in medical protocols based on male physiology. As a result, women are frequently misdiagnosed, experience delayed care, and/or are administered inappropriate treatments that lead to longer lives without longer health.
Why is it important to become an expert on your own health?
Becoming an expert on your own health yields better healthcare outcomes, and the information available makes becoming an expert more possible than ever, but becoming an expert has got some challenges. The healthcare education and information resides in a large, growing health sciences ecosystem. New research is published daily on hundreds of peer review journal sites. Women’s health panel discussions are available on podcasts across platforms. Women’s health and aging conferences can be attended virtually and session recordings are typically are made available. Health education podcasts put complex research into understandable terms and present it with practical, science-informed strategies for improving health.
Today’s artificial intelligence is transforming women’s health science. It’s uncovering connections in women’s health that were previously hidden or overlooked to provide new, better information. It’s also accelerating new research. From simulating hormonal cycles to predicting treatment responses to near real-time analysis, artificial intelligence is helping scientists generate discoveries that would have taken years, and even decades using traditional methods.
Artificial intelligence is transforming women’s health science, however the new information benefit is not reaching the women who need it to make their best healthcare decisions.
Making use of all the information available and being newly generated requires health literacy, meaning possessing the knowledge, skills, and confidence to find, understand, and use the most current health information to make informed decisions.
Finding the most current healthcare information relevant to a concern is an undertaking. It requires using multiple search engines to identify potentially relevant content, then analysis to glean the relevant information. Understanding all the content is difficult, even for healthcare professionals. Most physicians can’t read and understand a technical research paper delivering the most current information any more easily than someone with a high school education, especially if it’s out of their area of expertise.
Today’s LLMs like Grok and ChatGPT can be helpful in summarizing, however there are two issues. The first is accurate answers require knowing how to ask the right questions in the correct format, an art and science so new it’s not yet taught in general public forums. Second is the health literacy needed to know when answers are incomplete or don’t seem right.
Her Health Science is designed to be the bridge between the sea of existing, rapidly growing women’s healthcare education and the women who need it. It is a platform that makes it easy to find the most current, credible information available for one or more health concerns that are common to women. The content improves their health literacy, which in turn helps them make better healthcare decisions so they can live longer, healthier lives.
What is objective of the Her Health Science project?
Women who live longer, healthier lives don’t just live longer – they contribute longer. Their accumulated knowledge, skills, and passions compound into massive community value. As they stay healthy, they mentor younger generations, launch second and third careers, and keep showing up as caregivers, leaders, and creators instead of withdrawing on the sidelines.
Their presence stabilizes families, strengthens social networks, and fuels the “longevity economy,” where women 50+ already drive trillions in global spending, caregiving, and volunteer labor. When women are supported to thrive into their 70s, 80s, and beyond, everyone around them – children, partners, workplaces, and communities – reaps the return on that investment in health.
Women with longer, healthier lives don’t just rewrite their story – they reshape the world’s. Their wisdom, skills, and fire fuel a brighter, stronger future for all. That’s the heart of our mission.
