Margaret Melville, CEO & Founder of Lasa Health, is on a health moonshot mission to help providers more efficiently diagnose and manage chronic pelvic pain patients.
💡 Chronic pelvic pain affects up to 80% of women, yet it's often undertreated due to lack of awareness and training among healthcare professionals.
🩺 Medical professionals, including experienced OBGYNs, often lack sufficient training and tools to address chronic pelvic pain effectively.
🌐 Lasa Health, which joined StartUp Health in 2023, is a patient navigation platform utilizing AI and machine learning to connect providers and patients, aiming to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and education on chronic pelvic pain.
🚑 Emergency room visits for chronic pelvic pain are costly and often unnecessary; Lasa Health's chatbot tool helps patients manage pain flare-ups and reduce ER visits.
📈 Positive shifts in the industry, such as Joe Biden's funding for women's health through ARPA-H, indicate increasing recognition of women's health issues and the need for better solutions.
🎉 Margaret looks forward to integrating Lasa Health's technology into healthcare systems to improve patient outcomes in the coming months.
