Halle Berry recently spoke at the HLTH conference in Las Vegas, where she discussed the topic of menopause and advocated for a change in how society views this natural phase of life.
Berry, who has launched a women's health and wellness company called Respin, emphasized the need to rebrand menopause and eliminate the stigma surrounding it. Respin aims to empower women through community, education, health coaching, and wellness products.
Early feedback from a pilot program involving 250 women showed promising results.
In another development, Recursion has expanded its partnership with Google Cloud to enhance its drug discovery platform. This collaboration will utilize cloud technologies and generative AI capabilities to optimize research processes and reduce time and costs associated with developing new therapies. The integration of AI tools and proprietary datasets is expected to streamline the drug discovery process.
Additionally, HealthEx, a startup focused on patient consent and data management, has officially launched with $14 million in funding. Their AI-powered platform aims to improve patient trust and operational efficiency within healthcare organizations.
Finally, the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) has partnered with HLTH to address health equity challenges faced by underserved populations. NACHC serves millions of patients annually and aims to leverage community health centers' insights and experiences to address disparities in healthcare access and outcomes.
