Five women's health start-ups collaborate to address healthcare gaps

The Wonder Woman Collective includes Paloma Health, Neura Health, LEVY Health, Seven Starling and Origin.

Five leading women's health companies in the US, Paloma Health, Neura Health, LEVY Health, Seven Starling and Origin, have joined forces to form The Wonder Woman Collective.

This strategic partnership will address critical gaps in women's healthcare, focusing on improving healthcare outcomes, promoting health equity, reducing costs, and enhancing women's productivity.

The profound impact of conditions such as migraine, hypothyroidism, polycystic ovarian symptoms (PCOS), infertility, menopause, pelvic floor dysfunction or mental health disorders on a woman’s quality of life, work, and personal well-being cannot be overstated.

According to a recent McKinsey report on women's health, the resulting burden of the gender health gap in the United States amounts to $1 trillion annually, with 47% attributed to conditions affecting women disproportionately.

Guillaume Cohen-Skalli, Co-Founder and CEO of Paloma Health said:

“Addressing the Women's Health Gap is not just an option but a critical necessity. Our success in closing this gap hinges on our collective commitment to collaboration, recognizing that only through united efforts can we achieve meaningful and lasting change in women's health.”

The goal of the collective

The Wonder Woman Collective strives to deliver comprehensive, streamlined, and specialised care by driving early diagnosis and integrating treatments for these conditions, as well as offering a cohesive platform for health plans and benefits providers in need of broader women’s health solutions.

Highlights of the partnership include clinical decision support and electronic health record integration for interconnected and concomitant conditions, joint commercial initiatives, and research and development opportunities in women’s health.

Caroline Mitterdorfer, Co-Founder and CEO of LEVY Health said:

”Through The Wonder Woman Collective, we are unifying diagnostic expertise and specialised care, enhancing the patient's journey and offering timely, comprehensive solutions.”

Carine Carmy, Co-Founder and CEO of Origin said:

“Speciality care is the future of women’s health, and by bringing together the leaders across the industry, we see an opportunity to set a higher standard across life stages. Together, we can create a seamless patient experience that enables better outcomes at lower costs for our partners."

With a shared commitment to innovation and excellence, this is the start of a foundation where future companies can join and redefine the standard of care in women’s health.

Elizabeth Burstein, Co-Founder and CEO of Neura Health said:

"With this initiative, we forge a new path in healthcare - one where comprehensive care, innovation, and patient-centricity are not just ideals, but realities. This is where the future of women's health begins."
