Five leading women's health companies, Paloma Health, Neura Health, LEVY Health, Seven Starling and Origin, have joined forces to announce The Wonder Woman Collective. This strategic partnership addresses critical gaps in women's healthcare, focusing on improving healthcare outcomes, promoting health equity, reducing costs, and enhancing women's health.
NEW YORK, May 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The profound impact of conditions such as migraine, hypothyroidism, polycystic ovarian symptoms (PCOS), infertility, menopause, pelvic floor dysfunction or mental health disorders on a woman's quality of life, work, and personal well-being cannot be overstated. According to a recent McKinsey report on women's health, the resulting burden of the gender health gap in the United States amounts to $1 trillion annually, with 47% attributed to conditions affecting women disproportionately. "Addressing the Women's Health Gap is not just an option but a critical necessity. Our success in closing this gap hinges on our collective commitment to collaboration, recognizing that only through united efforts can we achieve meaningful and lasting change in women's health," said Guillaume Cohen-Skalli, Co-Founder and CEO of Paloma Health.
The Wonder Woman Collective strives to deliver comprehensive, streamlined, and specialized care by driving early diagnosis and integrating treatments for these conditions, as well as offering a cohesive platform for health plans and benefits providers in need of broader women's health solutions. Highlights of the partnership include but are not limited to clinical decision support and electronic health record integration for interconnected and concomitant conditions, joint commercial initiatives, and research and development opportunities in women's health. "Through The Wonder Woman Collective, we are unifying diagnostic expertise and specialized care, enhancing the patient's journey and offering timely, comprehensive solutions," said Caroline Mitterdorfer, Co-Founder and CEO of LEVY Health.
"Speciality care is the future of women's health, and by bringing together the leaders across the industry, we see an opportunity to set a higher standard across life stages. Together, we can create a seamless patient experience that enables better outcomes at lower costs for our partners," said Carine Carmy, Co-Founder and CEO of Origin. Indeed, these companies have shown remarkable clinical outcomes. Neura Health boasts a remarkable 45% increase in symptom relief and a 73% decrease in ER and urgent care visits. Paloma Health has reported impressive outcomes, a 8% decrease in body weight within the first year, and a 92% improvement in patient quality of life after 3 months. LEVY Health has successfully identified a previously unknown underlying cause of a woman's struggle to conceive in 94% of their users, of which in 70% of cases, lifestyle changes, medication and non-invasive therapy is recommended prior to IVF, coupled with a 50% reduction in time to diagnosis. Seven Starling's specialized clinical model enables expecting and new mothers to see a faster and more effective recovery in their mental health, with 94% of patients experiencing a clinically significant improvement in their depressive symptoms. Origin's patient population reported an 87% improvement in their pelvic floor symptoms and a 90% improvement in urinary incontinence symptoms – a condition that impacts 1 in 3 women.
With a shared commitment to innovation and excellence, this is the start of a foundation where future companies can join and redefine the standard of care in women's health. "With this initiative, we forge a new path in healthcare - one where comprehensive care, innovation, and patient-centricity are not just ideals, but realities. This is where the future of women's health begins." said Elizabeth Burstein, Co-Founder and CEO of Neura Health. Tina Keshani, Founder and CEO of Seven Starling adds "Women deserve specialized and tailored healthcare solutions to address their unique needs -- and no one company can do it all. "
