Sometimes a single question can open up a whole new world. About ten years ago, a young doctor named Sara Naseri was trying to think of how the field of medicine could be more preventative. It was so difficult to get information about what was going on inside people's bodies, before they were sick enough to go to a doctor for a blood draw. Suddenly it dawned on her: Women bleed every month. What can we learn from that blood, and why has no one looked at it before? A rigorous scientific study followed—and eventually, a Silicon Valley start-up called Qvin, which produces menstrual pads used for testing women's blood. Dr. Naseri represents a new generation of women coming up with innovations to close the women's health gap. We travel to Silicon Valley to meet her, and we talk to two venture capitalists about the impact women in venture are having on private sector efforts to improve women's health.

At present, there is no known cure for Parkinson's Disease (PD). My Moves Matter, the company behind this new app was co-founded by registered dietitian Richelle Flanagan after she noticed something was wrong with her handwriting when trying to document a note in a patient's chart. She was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's Disease (YOPD) shortly after the birth of her daughter. New app to track symptoms of Parkinson's Disease In response, this Irish female founder and patient innovator co -founded My Moves Matters and developed an app to help women manage their PD symptoms in line with their menstrual cycles. The app is proving a success and currently has over 1600 users from 47 countries. My Moves Matters aims to improve the lives of Irish women living with PD and was one of the winners of Health Innovation Hub Ireland's Femtech competition in 2023. A medical paper entitled 'Unmet Needs of Women Living with Parkinson's Disease: Gaps and Controversies', co-authored by Richelle Flanagan, highlights the issues women with the PD experience, especially from a psychosocial standpoint, which have been overlooked. There is a need for management of PD which considers the impact of the hormonal stages women experience, including menstrual cycles. Current clinical guidelines fail to address the nuanced impact of hormonal changes on PD symptoms adequately, resulting in fragmented care for women. The My Moves Matter app has come up with a solution and seeks to bridge this gap by enabling detailed patient-reported outcome tracking. This initiative not only aims to gather specific data to understand the link between hormone fluctuations and PD but also to inform the development of personalised patient care programmes, including medical nutrition therapy tailored to individual needs. The My Moves Matter app is unique as it puts people with Parkinson's disease in control of understanding their own body and mind's reaction to PD. The app helps people to understand their individual symptoms, what triggers them and what works or does not work for their individual experience. This patient reported symptom tracker has several notable features: medication reminders tablets, patterns identification, hormonal impact tracking, gain knowledge, share decision making and help find answers. The results of the clinical evaluation study with Health Innovation Hub Ireland were impressive. Clinicians recognised the main benefits of the My Move Matter app which included the ability to view detailed data between clinic visits and to accurately track medication user-friendliness for patients and staff. The clinicians, PD Neurologists and nurses, stressed the importance of tracking hormonal impacts in women with PD as it is currently underserved and they highlighted this aspect as an excellent feature of the app. Knowing detailed information such as medication timing, doses, mealtimes, sleep patterns and bowel movement patterns was also considered critical for comprehensive patient management. Dr. Tanya Mulcahy Director of Health Innovation Hub Ireland and founder of FemTech Ireland commented on the importance of the app in addressing women's health issues: "Recognising the unique ways Parkinson's and other neurological conditions manifest in women isn't just about fairness - it's about better diagnosis, better treatments, and better lives. This pivotal work conducted by Richelle through the My Moves Matter App highlights how women's hormone cycles impact symptoms and treatment efficacy. This is such important work aand should be highlighted and commended. The whole area of women's health and in particular the different ways conditions manifest and respon...

What will you learn today on The Hormone Genius with Guest Dr. Stephanie Kafie? What devices and technology are available for women to track their fertility? What are the advantages and disadvantages of these devices? What are natural signs of fertility that women can track and what are the advantages/disadvantages of these? How can femtech be incorporated into natural family planning for avoiding or achieving pregnancy? Dr. Kafie was kind enough to give additional information about femtech (see below), what devices are available, what the research is behind these methods and how they can be incorporated into NFP methods formally (such as Sympto-thermal or Marquette Method) or informally. Inito Pattnaik S, Das D, Venkatesan VA. A quantitative home-use framework for assessing fertility and identifying novel hormone trends by recording urine hormones. Medrxiv 2022 Bottom Line: Inito can be used for urinary monitoring of LH, estrogen and progesterone to help identify ovulation. Thakur R, Akram F, Rastogi V, Mitra A, Nawani R, Av V, et al. Development of Smartphone-Based Lateral Flow Device for the Quantification of LH and E3G Hormones 2020 Bottom Line: Using Inito for urinary hormone testing was comparable to the gold standard for urinary monitoring of LH, estrogen and progesterone. Inito vs. Mira Bouchard TP. Using Quantitative Hormonal Fertility Monitors to Evaluate the Luteal Phase: Medicina 2023 Bottom Line: There are few studies validating femtech devices: 2 studies for Inito, one study on Proov, and one comparing Mira and Clearblue. Further studies are needed to validate these devices. Clearblue vs. Mira Bouchard TP, Fehring RJ, Mu Q. Quantitative versus qualitative estrogen and luteinizing hormone testing for personal fertility monitoring. Expert Rev Mol Diagn 2021 Bottom Line: Both monitors had dates of ovulation that were highly correlated. Total satisfaction scores were higher for Clearblue than Mira. Marquette Method using Clearblue Monitor - Non-breastfeeding Fehring, R. J., & Schneider, M. (2017). Effectiveness of a Natural Family Planning , MCN, The American Journal of Maternal/Child Nursing Bottom Line: This study showed 98% effectiveness of the Marquette Method in avoiding pregnancy with perfect use in non-breastfeeding women. Marquette Method using Clearblue Monitor - Breastfeeding Bouchard, T., Fehring, R. J., & Schneider, M. (2013). Efficacy of a New Postpartum Transition Protocol for Avoiding Pregnancy. The Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine Bottom Line: With perfect use, this study showed 98% effectiveness of the Marquette Method for avoiding pregnancy during the transition to regular menstrual cycles postpartum. Marquette Method using Clearblue Monitor - Achieving Pregnancy Bouchard, T. P., Fehring, R. J. (2018). Achieving Pregnancy Using Primary Care Interventions to Identify the Fertile Window. Frontiers in Medicine Bottom line: For women who wish to achieve a pregnancy, using a hormonal fertility monitor alone offers to best natural estimate of a woman's fertile phase of her menstrual cycle. Focused intercourse during 24 menstrual cycles can assist couples with achieving pregnancy. Wearable Devices that track fertility - A Review Cromack SC, Walter JR. Consumer wearables and personal devices for tracking the fertile window. Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2024 Bottom Line: More research is needed on these devices. Studies have many limitations with limited sample sizes and researchers who may have a stake in the company. For a detailed summary read this review: https://www.factsaboutfertility.org/wearables-and-devices-to-track-the-fertile-window-a-review/?mc_cid=7e1bdddb2a&mc_eid=6315adbd87 Medical disclaimer: The information presented in The Hormone Genius Podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for actual medical or mental health advice from a doctor, psychologist, or any other medical or mental health professional.

Education and the right tools can aid recovery.Introducing Sensara: This AI-powered device personalizes sexual wellness using sensors that monitor physiological responses and adjust stimulation accordingly.Advice for Physicians: Doctors should either learn to discuss sexual health openly or have referral sources for patients who need guidance.Notable Quotes:"Sexual health is part of general health. It's a window into what's happening in the body.""We tell people to exercise for their heart, their lungs—why not for their pelvic floor and genital health?""Using lubrication isn't a failure—it's a way to enhance pleasure and wellness.""We need more research, more conversations, and more solutions for women's sexual health."Final Takeaway:Women's sexual health is a critical yet often overlooked part of overall well-being. With more research, open conversations, and innovative solutions like Sensara, we can empower women to take charge of their sexual health at every stage of life.Host Bio:This podcast is hosted by Sheree Dibiase, PT ICLM.
