Both Elena Rueda and Dr Paulina Cecula are guests on today's episode and are the co-founders of Dama Health: An early-stage startup in London that empowers women and clinicians to make equitable, safe, personalised and person-centered decisions regarding contraception, based on genetic testing and an AI-led matching system for various contraceptive options. Their platform is the first of its kind, integrating data from a patient’s preference as well as their personal medical history. Dama’s fundamental aim is to revolutionise reproductive health decisions by providing women and clinicians with health insights that incorporate medical, genetic, and personal data into evidence-based clinical recommendations.
Elena has a background in medical sciences, design thinking and and entrepreneurship, whereas Paulina is a physician by training. In this episode, they both share their insights as female founders in the healthcare startup space; the challenges and highlights of fundraising; and their mission to democratise contraceptive choices and access.
