What a fantastic time we had at our inaugural pelvic health event, bringing together an amazing group of women to tackle a topic that affects millions but is too often shhhushed and overlooked. ?? Here’s why this conversation matters: ?? Nearly 50 million women in the U.S. suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction, such as incontinence, painful intimacy, and pelvic pain. ?? These women spend $881M annually on care—a figure set to double in the next 25 years. ???? The lack of education and support costs the U.S. economy over $100M annually, with unnecessary ER visits and readmissions driving up costs. ?? The CDC reports that 27% of hospital readmissions could be avoided with better patient education. The Solution: Preventive health education. For every $1 invested, it delivers a 14-to-1 ROI, reducing costs, improving outcomes, and easing the burden on providers and insurers. That’s where Peli Health comes in. Our digital health platform empowers women with MD reviewed & approved education, support, and care they need, tackling one of healthcare’s biggest challenges head-on. ?? A huge thank you to our co-hosts: ?? Isabella Bablumian of Imbody Wellness, for a calming and restorative movement session. ?? Dr. Pam Downey, DPT, and Peli Health advisor, for her engaging fireside chat on breaking myths and helping us all better understand the importance of pelvic health. It was inspiring to see the power of community and shared knowledge in action. Here’s to continuing the conversation and empowering women with the tools and education they need to thrive. ??? #PelvicHealth #WomensHealth #PreventiveCare #HealthLiteracy #PeliHealth

?? The #femtech sector is expanding rapidly, and its potential to revolutionize women's healthcare is undeniable. By focusing on affordability, access, and innovation, femtech is closing gaps in current healthcare models, driving better health outcomes, and paving the way for a more equitable future in healthcare. ?? The potential for investors and innovators to make a lasting impact is huge. This shift is aligned with the growing public dialogue around women’s health. ??In fact, closing the women's health gap could add $1 trillion to the global economy annually by 2040 (World Economic Forum & McKinsey Global Institute). ?? Stigma is the #1 reason women avoid seeking help for pelvic health issues, which affect 1 in 3 women, yet addressing these challenges can improve workplace productivity and overall well-being. With women now spending more years in post-reproductive life than reproductive, prioritizing health across all stages has never been more important. ?? Pelihealth invites investors to join us in driving this change. ?? Join our exclusive event hosted by the incredible Bridgette L. Smith ??, where we will present our solution to improve women's pelvic health. We will also be joined by the incredible Private Packs and their innovative solution for intimate health. Together, we can make a lasting impact! ?? Mark your calendars for the Women's Health Showcase (Oct 8). Scan the QR code on the image or RSVP here: https://lnkd.in/eZ6_bP24 ?? Can’t attend?

?? Childbirth isn’t just a challenge for women — it impacts employers, healthcare systems, the economy, and society as a whole. ?? With 50% of women fearing childbirth, 45% experiencing birth trauma, and 20% facing postpartum depression, the ripple effects are far-reaching. The challenges deeply affect mothers, families, healthcare, and employers. ?? ?? Pelihealth is thrilled to partner with the incredible Mamamoon Health, led by the inspiring Kasia Pokrop. The Mamamoon Health team is making birth and postpartum preparation accessible for parents everywhere. ?? Kasia's personal experience with HypnoBirthing during her pregnancy inspired her to help other mothers around the world, and her energy and passion for supporting women and their families during this life-changing journey is truly infectious. We knew from the early days of speaking with Kasia, this was a collaboration that had to happen to raise awareness and deepen understanding of women’s health across all life stages. In this guest blog Kasia shares how she’s reshaping the postpartum journey by focusing on holistic maternal care, beyond baby-centered apps. From physical recovery and pelvic floor health to mental well-being, Kasia shares insights into how personalized support can completely redefine the childbirth experience. ??♀?

So many women are still navigating the unknowns of pelvic health, unsure of what it means, what’s normal, what's not, and when to seek help. Cultural stigmas and a lack of research, data, and access to healthcare can leave us feeling lost and unsupported. Did you know that 1 in 3 women will experience pelvic floor dysfunction in their lifetime? That means it's likely someone you know; a friend, a parent, a sister, a partner, a daughter, perhaps you. Symptoms can include anything from leaking during laughter or vigorous exercise, a sudden uncontrollable urge to pee, painful intercourse, pelvic pain, Endometriosis, Pelvic Organ Prolapse, and more. At Pelihealth we’re dedicated to empowering women to take control of their pelvic health holistically. We LOVE speaking to so many amazing experts, innovators, and women who are passionate about making changes to #womenshealth in our #PelvicPowerHours.

?? Is Women’s Health is Finally Getting the Attention it Deserves? ?? It's no secret that scientific research has historically neglected women's bodies. But here’s the big question: Why haven’t pelvic devices been updated since 1938?!! ?? Do most women even know what they are used for? Moreover, what resources are available for women to educate themselves about their pelvic health? Join us for an eye-opening episode of Pelihealth’s Pelvic Power Hour featuring the remarkable Rachel Bartholomew, CEO and Founder of Hyivy Health. ?? Rachel’s journey—from battling endometriosis and cervical cancer to pioneering the innovative Floora vaginal wand—is revolutionizing pelvic health care as we know it. As pelvic pain reaches epidemic levels, and healthcare professionals are scrambling for the tools they need to support patients effectively. Hyivy Health is on a mission to change that, offering cutting-edge solutions for chronic pelvic pain related to #endometriosis and 36 other conditions. Stigma and lack of information are the #1 reasons why women don't seek help in the first place, Pelihealth is committed to equipping women with the knowledge and tools they need for optimal pelvic health at every stage of life. ??

More data isn’t always better, especially in #healthcare. Information overload is a major problem in modern healthcare. According to a recent survey from electronic health record (EHR) provider athenahealth: ?????80% of #physicians felt that more data wouldn’t necessarily allow them to provide better care. ???Over 60% feel increasingly overwhelmed and stressed by incoming health data. Primary literature research on electronic health data demonstrates that #healthcare providers are facing more clerical tasks, more clicks, and more metrics-monitoring…and all of this detracts from the time they can spend interacting directly with their #patients (Koon, 2021). If you’ve ever tried to share your FitBit data or #period tracker with your provider, you may have felt that they were disinterested, or even worse, dismissive. In the vast majority of cases, this isn’t because they don’t want to learn from your meticulous tracking efforts. They simply don’t have the time or capacity to look at another disorganized database. I recently chatted with Pelihealth founders Helen Grimshaw and Kerstin Recker Alexandre about this exact issue and how patients can address the challenges that digital tracking creates. The key takeaway? ???Use the synopsis or report features in your app or device. If your tracking tool offers a visual representation of data in simple graph form, THAT is what you should be showing your doctor. Make it easy for them! ???? If you’re a #femtech founder or innovator building an app or platform for #femalehealth, the message is the same: make your data output quick and easy to understand. If I can’t get the gist in 15 seconds or less, it isn’t simple or clear enough.
