And we absolutely should. But what if we built a healthcare system that worked for every woman in the first place? After birth, women’s health needs can increase, just as the system’s ability to meet them falls away.” Dr Sujitha Selvarajah, Co-Founder of Hesta Health 👉 Full story: https://lnkd.in/gJxYAnqa #femtech #womenshealth #womenshealthinnovation #healthtech #healthcareinnovation #maternalhealth #postpartum #uk #investment #startup #preseed #vc #venturecapital

🚀 We've been featured in The Times! The article quotes our CEO and Co-Founder Professor Sir Peter Donnelly discussing our Health Insights test, which is available through several healthcare providers, including Bupa. Health Insights UK is the first UKCA-marked and MHRA-registered product that combines genetic and clinical factors to predict an individual's risk of common diseases. The test currently includes heart disease, type 2 diabetes and prostate or breast cancer. Peter said, “These are diseases that cause the most sickness in our populations. They use 70 or 80 per cent of healthcare budgets, and they’re responsible for most of the premature mortality that we have. That’s a huge change.” Our test is based on polygenic risk scores (PRS), which use algorithms to combine information from millions of places in an individual's DNA to give a summary of their genetic susceptibility to a disease. With this information, people can make more informed decisions about their health, helping shift healthcare from reactive treatment to proactive prevention. As Peter emphasised, this is the future of medicine.🧬 👉Read the article here to find out more: https://lnkd.in/egwtXNdV #Genomics #TheTimes #PrecisionMedicine #TechBio #prevention #healthcare
