rea Clinical-stage
TEDx · 2025 · Loulia Kassem

Why women's health has been overlooked for so long — and what it will take to change that.

A talk on the history of women's health research, the diagnostic gap that has persisted for generations, and the clinical and scientific work that will close it.

Women's health has been under-researched and under-resourced for generations. Many of the tools still in use today were designed decades ago, for a clinical world that looked nothing like the one women live in now.

This has to change. The technology exists. The clinical need is established. What has been missing is focused scientific effort from teams who are willing to build products around women's bodies and women's lives — not around hospital workflows and clinical calendars.

Rea is our contribution to that change. Preterm birth is where we begin, because it is one of the most urgent and solvable diagnostic gaps in the field. It is not where we intend to stop.
