Deep dives
Importance of Hormonal Health Data
Research on women's hormonal health is severely lacking, creating challenges for women facing fertility issues. Without continuous tracking data, medical professionals often rely on guesswork to diagnose and treat problems related to hormonal fluctuations. This gap in research leads to women being thrown directly into costly infertility treatments, such as IVF, with low success rates, instead of receiving personalized care based on individual hormone data. There is a critical need for more focus on women's health research to enable better treatment and understanding of fertility and hormonal issues.
