About PCOS Challenge:
PCOS Challenge, Inc. is the leading 501(c)(3)
nonprofit support organization advancing the cause for girls and women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, serving over 38,000 members.
PCOS is one of the most critical, under-diagnosed, underfunded and neglected areas of health. There is a huge health disparity when
it comes to PCOS diagnosis and support. 50% of women and girls with PCOS are going undiagnosed. Additionally, it often takes women
several years and up to seven doctors before they can find someone who can help them with the condition. Despite affecting millions
of lives and families and the serious health consequences, PCOS awareness and support organizations, receive less than 0.1% of the
government, corporate, foundation, and community funding that other health conditions receive. Our vision is that PCOS is treated
as a public health priority.
About Open Source Health Inc.:
OSH has developed a cloud-based precision medicine
platform called myAva, which is licensed to clinics and providers to enable the delivery of precision medicine, specifically for
women’s health. By collecting and analyzing molecular-level data we will create a digital version of each patient, uncovering
disease markers at an early stage allowing women and their providers to take a proactive approach to achieve optimal
health. myAva sets the new standard of care for women's health. The initial launch of myAva is focused at PCOS
(Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), which affects 7 million women in the United States and 116 million women worldwide.
