And like, what does this look like once we kind of win, so to speak? So by closing that data gap for women and women's health, what does that do? And how does digital health help to close that?

Talat UppalGUEST
So for me personally, basically, I have an interest in an area called heavy menstrual bleeding, which affects a quarter of women in reproductive age.

Talat UppalGUEST
So I didn't actually initially fall into SPARCT or even digital health or even awareness of the role data can play and the safe handling of data can play by seeking that or wanting to do IT or anything like that.

Talat UppalGUEST
It was actually an unmet clinical need, like you said, that I kept thinking, well, how do we help women understand that they are actually having a medical condition that there's so much support for and have suffered needlessly for so many years? And then it was my good fortune that through networking, I got introduced into SPACT.

Talat UppalGUEST
And that really opened my eyes that they are actually inclusive of women's health.

I'm not going to make assumptions, but I think you've said that before that it's not.
