SUMMARY:FEMTECH UNTAPPED Endometriosis\, PCOS and Gynaecological cancers
DESCRIPTION:FemTech Untapped is an online program and a global movement tapping into areas of women’s health that have long been underserved\, underresearched\, and underfunded. In 2022\, they will be covering a wide range of topics with a goal to educate and destigmatize areas of FemTech that still remain “untapped”. \nJoin every month for a series of events where they will cover topics from diversity and inclusion in the femtech space\, to menstrual health and sextech\, to mental and cardiovascular health for women and underrepresented audiences and groups in the healthcare space. Together\, teams can all work towards FemTech being more accessible and inclusive. \nAbout this event – How technology can help end suffering in silence: Endometriosis\, PCOS\, and gynaecological cancers \nEndometriosis affects roughly 10% (190 million) of reproductive age women and girls globally. It takes on average seven years to diagnose it and in the meantime\, women are often dismissed\, misdiagnosed\, and misunderstood. \nThere are five gynaecological cancers (Ovarian\, Cervical\, Uterine (womb)\, Vaginal and Vulval)\, but they are rarely discussed in the public. Gynaecological cancers have a devastating mortality rate of 37%\, according to Lady Garden Foundation\, and understanding the symptoms and early detection can save lives. That’s why more open conversation and education is needed. \nWHO reports that there are over 116 million women around the world who are affected by PCOS\, the most common hormonal disorder. Yet\, although so many women are going through this\, they often feel lonely\, neglected\, and are left to suffer in silence for years. \nThe time has come to put these topics on the public agenda\, to give women the information and education they need\, and the healthcare they deserve. Join the team to find out how technology can help end suffering in silence from the founders and innovators who are pushing the frontiers of innovation and working on the solutions for female health issues that were neglected and under-researched for way too long. Speakers include: \n\nHeather Bowerman\, founder and CEO of DotLab\nOriana Papin-Zoghbi\, co-founder and CEO of AOA Dx Inc.\nChantelle Bell\, co-founder of Syrona Health\nEydis Lima\, founder of Curiva\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:The Fertility Journey: Understanding Options and Navigating Care
DESCRIPTION:Infertility—defined as the inability to conceive after 1 year of regular\, unprotected sex—is increasingly common in the United States. Nearly 1 in 8 couples have trouble getting pregnant or sustaining their pregnancy. While infertility occurs equally in men and women\, women tend to bear a disproportionate focus and burden in treatment and management. Treatment options span from medications to invasive surgery and assisted reproductive technologies. About 12% of women ages 15-49 have received some type of infertility service. \n\n\n\nNavigating fertility treatment can be complex with significant emotional\, physical\, and financial stressors. Factors such as cost\, invasiveness of treatment options\, and potential success rate can hinder women accessing the appropriate care and create disparities in reproductive health. Additional research\, improved patient and clinical education\, and effective policy solutions are needed to improve overall quality and access to fertility care for all women. The Society for Women’s Health Research has created resource guides for patients and providers to increase awareness and quality of fertility health concerning evaluating infertility\, understanding fertility treatment options\, and navigating care. \nSWHR hosted a virtual public forum to share educational information about fertility options for women and feature women who will highlight ways they navigated infertility and their maternal health care journey. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis public forum is part of SWHR’s Fertility Program. It builds on SWHR’s Fertility Roundtable held in September 2021 that sought to identify gaps in research\, clinical practice\, policy\, and education and address disparities and barriers to access. Discussion during this event included reference to the Clinician Resource Guide to Fertility Health Care and the Women’s Resource Guide to Fertility Health Care\, both released in February 2022.

SUMMARY:Narcolepsy Program Roundtable: The Impact of Narcolepsy on Women’s Health Across the Lifespan
DESCRIPTION:Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder of the sleep-wake cycle\, characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness\, nighttime sleep disturbances\, and REM sleep-related phenomena that intrude into wakefulness. Narcolepsy is categorized into two types – NT1 associated with cataplexy (sudden loss of muscle tone during wakefulness) and NT2 without muscle weakness. \nNarcolepsy can be a debilitating chronic condition with widespread impacts on daily life\, including challenges with employment\, school\, and relationships\, particularly for women acting as the primary family caregiver. Difficulty maintaining treatment regimens and unpleasant side effects pose barriers to effective symptom management. Although women and men are about equally affected and report similar narcolepsy-related symptoms\, women are more likely to experience an extremely long pathway to an accurate diagnosis\, up to 12 years longer than men. Many women with narcolepsy also face challenges during pregnancy and lactation\, often stopping medication near conception and suffering from additional symptoms as a result. Building awareness about narcolepsy symptoms and treatment options among both patients and providers will offer women opportunities to identify symptoms earlier\, reduce the delay in obtaining appropriate care\, and make informed decisions about treatment throughout the life course. \nSWHR convened an interdisciplinary working group of health care providers\, researchers\, patients/patient advocates\, and policy leaders for a closed\, roundtable meeting on March 31\, 2022. During the roundtable\, the SWHR Narcolepsy Working Group discussed scientific and policy issues around narcolepsy in women\, including strategies for better symptom management and how to improve access to treatments and care.
