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.
