Turning the Tide on Women’s Healthcare in America
Celebrating a major milestone in federal healthcare policy. Thank you to @POTUS and the @FLOTUS for their dedicated leadership in championing women’s health and establishing the new White House Women’s Health Task Force.
By elevating women's health research at the NIH and making maternal health a core national priority, this Executive Order addresses decades of underinvestment. Right now, women across the country—especially in rural communities—are struggling to access essential prenatal, postpartum, and lifelong primary care.
Addressing these maternity care deserts and projected provider shortages requires decisive leadership from the very top.
Creating a dedicated office and Task Force within the White House ensures that women's health is no longer an afterthought, but a central pillar of American healthcare strategy.
I am deeply grateful for this commitment and look forward to supporting initiatives that expand care access, reduce healthcare costs, and save lives from a woman's teen years through menopause.

The Unmonitored Interval: What Public Discourse Reveals About Post-Surgical Experience and Digital Tracking in Endometriosis -and What It Cannot Measure @SSRN papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…
📣 I am pleased to announce that our new research paper, "The Unmonitored Interval: What Public Discourse Reveals About Post-Surgical Experience and Digital Tracking in Endometriosis and What It Cannot Measure," is now live as an open-access preprint on SSRN (Elsevier).
In endometriosis, the conventional 10% prevalence statistic functions as a structural floor derived from diagnosed cohorts, not a true population census. While surgical intervention is common, standard postoperative care typically concludes after a single six-week visit. Electronic health records document encounters and billing, leaving the symptom trajectory across the subsequent interval unobserved. We call this the Unmonitored Interval.
To examine how patients experience this void, we conducted a qualitative thematic analysis of 326 unique post titles from endometriosis communities alongside 550 low-rating reviews of a commercial cycle-tracking application across 14 countries.
Post-Surgical Discourse: Surgical or post-surgical experience was the largest coded category, comprising 25% (n=80) of community titles, followed by acute pain or flares (13%, n=44) and abnormal bleeding (6%, n=18).
Missing Baselines: Rather than asking how to reach a clinician, patients frequently asked peers to interpret their symptoms. That is what happens when individuals lack both scheduled clinical contact and a personal longitudinal baseline.
Commercial App Friction: Low-rating application reviews clustered heavily on paywalls, billing practices, and subscription changes, with 72% of reviewers located outside the United States. Because the sample was restricted to low ratings, these complaints are expected and cannot be read as evidence of broader user preference.
A note on scope: This paper is a preliminary preprint and has not been certified by peer review. It describes patterns in public discourse and identifies a systemic measurement gap. It does not claim to fill it.
Filling this gap requires prospective, continuous data capture and clinician-documented outcomes. That study is specified in a forthcoming companion protocol paper.
And it is why we built what comes next. Rhythm by Womb WatchAI® is set to launch publicly next week, designed for the interval everyone else ignores. I could not be more excited to put it in women's hands.

190 million women globally suffer from endometriosis, yet investment in research and meaningful treatments has lagged behind for decades.
👉🏼We are using this platform as a catalyst to change that shifting the culture from passive awareness to active, data-driven research.
👉🏼Every data point we gather contributes directly to the body of research needed to truly understand this chronic condition, close the funding gap, and drive real investment into better care. It starts with acknowledging the sheer scale of the prevalence, and it continues by using technology to demand better.

Nikole Hannah-Jones’ reflection on sending her daughter to P.S. 307 isn’t a matter of declaring a choice right or wrong.
I don’t look at this debate from a distance. I grew up in Brooklyn’s District 13, and in the 1990s, I attended middle school at Satellite West, housed at P.S. 307, which back then held one of the only Gifted & Talented programs serving predominantly Black students.
Our school was under-resourced, but it was not underperforming.
The educators held high standards, and that cohort produced corporate leaders, including NFL executives, museum curators, entrepreneurs, lawyers and school district superintendents. That experience taught me early on that a lack of funding does not inherently mean a lack of academic rigor.
By 2016, however, the environment had shifted, and the school faced challenges in both resources and academic performance.
What stands out most to me is the resilience of her daughter.
Raising a young woman who has the clarity, confidence, and self-awareness to ask such a profound question of her own mother is a testament to her strength.
There was also another layer of nuance: the difference in lived experience between mother and daughter. It is clear that both Nikole and her husband provided their daughter with a supportive, high-achieving home environment. But when a child steps outside of that home safety net into a school that is struggling academically, the student experiences that disconnect firsthand. A parent may see an intentional commitment to community, but the child experiences the day-to-day reality of pacing, expectations, and academic gaps that become very real later on.
As a mother who raised children through New York City schools, navigating predominantly white schools, diverse schools, underfunded programs, and eventual milestones like a high school graduation at 16 for one child and an MPH by 22 for another, the greatest lesson was always learning to listen to the child in front of me. All three were very different.
Under-resourced does not mean underperforming. Many schools in predominantly Black neighborhoods do incredible work with limited means. Medgar Evers H.S. gave my youngest daughter a quality education.
Environment and shared academic expectations matter. When a school crosses the line into underperforming, it places a heavy emotional and academic burden on a student.
Listen to your children. If an academic setting is undermining their foundational skills or their self-concept, parents have to be willing to assess the environment objectively and pivot if they have the option.
This isn’t about assigning blame. It is about understanding that a child’s academic confidence and sense of self must be nurtured where they are, every single day. Systems are for adults to fix, but a child's foundational confidence is for a parent to protect.

When an investor asks, "Why aren't you just focusing on one narrow use case first?", My response:
"Anthropic didn't restrict Claude to one narrow task and you cannot restrict a frontier health intelligence system to one narrow use case
especially when solving a +200-year data deficit in women's health.
The countdown officially begins! More details to come.

@bryan_johnson We have a critical but unstudied hypothesis that a man's prostate cancer risk be connected to his mother's endometriosis.
A daughter's endometriosis and her father's prostate risk could share a locus (e.g. near HNF1B at 17q12). The data to study it at scale do not exist. So we are building. Opened our seed round!

Grateful to see Congressional and CMS leadership stepping up to elevate critical, once-taboo topics in women’s health into national legislative and policy priorities.
The U.S. maternal mortality crisis is not primarily a crisis of clinical knowledge it is a crisis of coverage design. Current fee-for-service frameworks reimburse episodic hospital visits while the vast majority of severe complications and maternal deaths form in the unmonitored intervals between them.
To move this national momentum from conversation to systemic execution, I submitted Womb WatchAI®’s formal Public Comment to CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) on the CY 2027 Physician Fee Schedule.
Our letter outlines four evidence-based regulatory mechanisms to close the maternal mortality coverage gap:
Full Birth Team Reimbursement: Formally reimbursing certified birth doulas and non-physician perinatal support as essential team members.
Mandatory Postpartum Discharge Education & Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM): Funding continuous daily monitoring during the critical 1–7 day post-discharge window, where up to 73% of postpartum deaths occur.
Maternal Genetic Screening: Eliminating diagnostic asymmetry by reimbursing genomic risk screening for severe delivery complications like preeclampsia.
Digital Menstrual & Endocrine Tracking as a Vital Sign: Reimbursing continuous cycle telemetry to build the female reference dataset medicine has historically lacked.
Thank you to the forward-thinking leaders in Congress and CMS who are breaking the silence, listening to the continuous data, and pushing for policy that protects women.
