We’re so honored to be included on Fast Co’s “World Changing Ideas” list — in not one but three categories! 🙌 → Wellness → Health → "On the Rise" — for companies less than 4 years old 🔑 Vaginal health is not niche — it lives at the center of day-to-day physical, emotional, and sexual wellbeing for so many people. So we couldn’t be more proud to see our work equally honored alongside so many other innovative companies in areas like climate change, health & wellness, technology, and more. 💙 https://lnkd.in/en9BayE3 #fcworldchangingideas #fastcompany

About us
Evvy is unlocking precision women’s healthcare through novel, overlooked female biomarkers — starting with the vaginal microbiome. Backed by leading healthcare investors such as General Catalyst, Left Lane Capital, and LabCorp, the Evvy team includes leading OB/GYNs and vaginal microbiome researchers with decades of experience at organizations like UCSF, Stanford, Harvard, Cleveland Clinic, and more. Evvy is one of the fastest growing women’s health companies in the US — enabling us to deliver innovative, high quality care while scaling novel R&D to unlock a new, data-driven future in women’s health. Evvy’s Vaginal Health Test is the first at-home vaginal microbiome test to use metagenomic sequencing to tell you what’s up down there, why it matters, and what you can do about it. Evvy’s larger platform is the first vaginal healthcare service to bring together state-of-the-art testing, precision clinical care, and 1:1 coaching to give women and people with vaginas the care they deserve. Through this platform, Evvy is building real-world datasets that can transform our understanding of complex female health conditions.

That’s the world that Evvy is pioneering.

Forbes wrote an incredible feature on #EqualResearchDay and Evvy! 💥 If you’re one of the thousands of people who are new to the Evvy community — welcome! We can’t wait to build the future of female health with you. For a great round up of our work in equal research, the vaginal microbiome, and women's health, we encourage you to check out the latest from Forbes: https://lnkd.in/g6vHAaCD
Thank you to Eva Epker and Forbes for this incredible feature on Evvy and #EqualResearchDay If our coffee table book of "100 Effed Facts About The Gender Health Gap" didn’t convince you, let us say it again: in 2024, the gender health gap still exists. Yet today, one day after our 2024 Equal Research Day campaign, we are so inspired by all of you — the researchers, community advocates, and partner companies who helped us raise awareness for the gender health gap and who work hard every day to advance women’s health. To learn more about Evvy, our pioneering work on the vaginal microbiome, and why we started #EqualResearchDay, check out the Forbes feature here: https://lnkd.in/e84Cgu-m Or visit EqualResearchDay.com for more on the gender health gap! #EqualResearchDay #GenderHealthGap #WomensHealth #Evvy #HealthEquity

It’s #EqualResearchDay! 💥 Evvy created #EqualResearchDay on June 10 because women weren’t required in U.S. clinical research until June 10th, 1993 (Think Equal Pay Day but for the gender health gap!) To this day, there are countless holes ⚫ in our scientific and medical understanding of the female body — and that directly impacts us as patients. If you’ve ever experienced delays in diagnoses, failed treatments, mystery symptoms with no answers, or medical gaslighting — #EqualResearchDay is for you. This year, we brought together 46 innovative companies and compiled 100 Effed Facts about the Gender Health Gap across 12 health areas: ⚫ Autoimmune Disease ⚫ Brain + Mental Health ⚫ Cancer ⚫ Endometriosis ⚫ Fertility ⚫ Heart Health ⚫ Hormonal Health ⚫ Maternal Health ⚫ Medical Gaslighting ⚫ Menopause ⚫ Menstrual & Sexual Health ⚫ Vaginal & Urinary Health Earlier this week, we launched a limited-edition coffee table book featuring all 100 Effed Facts to benefit Women's Health Access Matters (you can order a copy at EqualResearchDay.com before they sell out... !) But we decided these facts are too important not to share widely — so we are posting a public version here on LinkedIn. 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣: 💥 Share this post (and add your story about why equal research matters to you)! 💥 Learn more and shop the limited edition coffee table book to benefit WHAM at EqualResearchDay.com The female body shouldn’t be a medical mystery — together, let’s close the gender health gap for good. #equalresearchday2024 #evvy #genderhealthgap #closethegenderhealthgap ——— 2024 Equal Research Day Collaborative: Evvy Aavia adyn Allara AOA Dx Bloomer Tech Caraway Clue Cofertility Conceive Diem DotLab Doveras Elektra Health Elix Frame Gabbi Gaia Gameto Health In Her HUE HerMD Hey Jane The Honey Pot Company Iron Health Julie Products Inc.

Artificial intelligence models are only as smart as the data they’re fed. So, what happens when the healthcare data we’re using mostly focuses on men? Priyanka Jain, CEO and co-founder of Evvy, discusses how using #AI can help close the data gap in #WomensHealth with Northwell's Katz Institute for Women's Health 👉 https://bit.ly/4dqs09Y

Women's health has been largely ignored for far too long. The staggering lack of innovation in the field is concerning, but I was thrilled to learn about new research on the #vaginalmicrobiome during my Tuesday talk with Pita Navarro, Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Evvy. A pioneer in #precisionhealth in vaginal care, Evvy is providing a home-based, state-of-the-art vaginal microbiome test. By using one swab and whole genome sequencing, the #test scans for more than 700 bacteria and fungi, enabling more #precise #diagnosis of imbalances in the #vaginal microbiome that can manifest as #yeast infections, recurrent urinary tract infections, bacterial vaginosis and more. The test, combined with integrative #clinicalcare, and proactive tracking of how #medicines, #behavior and #lifestyle alter the vaginal microbiome, allows for a #personalized approach to vaginal health. Importantly, Evvy's research is also uncovering links between the vaginal microbiome and critical outcomes such as #infertility, pre-term birth and more. Women's health has mostly been a private affair, hidden under the cloak of #secrecy or #stigma. Evvy is changing that by focusing on discovering and leveraging overlooked #female #biomarkers to close the #gender health gap. With a mission to unlock new insights into complex #female health conditions using #realworld data sets and providing high quality #care, Evvy is becoming one of the fastest-growing women's health companies in the US. Let's work towards a future where the #femalebody is not a #medicalmystery. Thank you Pita Navarro and the team at Evvy for leading the charge towards personalized and innovative care for women's health. #womenshealth #hometest #precisionhealth #diagnosis #innovation #healthcare #evvy #vaginalmicrobiome #pretermbirth #infertility
