UNICORN
- Over the past decade, women's health has gone from "severely underfunded and under-discussed" to "women's health is a $trillion market" - yet we are still faced with the same challenges, and more.
- Women are 51% of the entire population. 100% of the population is affected by health challenges, yet men and women experience disease differently.
- Health problems that affect women (differently), affect men directly or indirectly. This is an economic imperative and whoever chooses to ignore it is missing the boat.
