7:08 pm
the women's health network. and it is a look out into the audience and reminds me, income the money always taught at 8:00 o'clock in the morning classes and i'm an early morning person is out i was okay but the rest of my students would come in with pajama pants you know carrying their coffee and slippers by the way, this must not housing come out with the public mother driven or whatever. some hoping that you know in the back of the room summer come somebody is not still in their pajamas. [laughter] [laughter] read but i have to tell you what started this. so as i said i am a teacher. and, i mean, my east wing to office. it was a saturday the white house if you can believe that there are ordinary saturdays at the white house and i was grading papers. in the morning i happen to read
7:09 pm
that in this country, women businesses number $2 billion a year due to the effects of menopause of that women you know stay out of the workplace because it effects of menopause. and so, i have been in the back of my mind maria shriver first lady and she's agile do you mind if i come in for a meeting and i said will sure, i went up to see you. so she came in and she said i want to talk to about a subject this really been on my mind and i think we need to know about it i said what is that and she said money to talk about women's health research heard and here's what i learned. and here's what you're going to learn that before 1993, do you know the women were not included in research studies and if you have any idea about that.
7:10 pm
and how about last week i learned, that it was only on 2016, that we started to do research on female animals, not just mail mass under my so whatever. i know that was a little bit shocking that investigating, took that long they were doing research on both sexes. so there's really revelation and something of a changed my mind and if you think about it, it's about heart disease. so just a woman's disease of course is the number one killer of men and women. but what we have in all of our research medicines that were given to women for years and minute hits they suffer because
7:11 pm
of the large artery and women, it's a small vessel disease. while they did not know these differences predict so they did not study small so that's what women and do not feel his crushing pain when you heart attack. we feel like nausea or different symptoms. so you can see how important it is that we have more research as we have choices and so now we have choices we have to make the right choices and how we study and find read and women's research. >> thank you so much for going through those examples. and watching the work you did in the white house and the topic really made us excited to reach out to you to ask about this new initiative and women's health network and having an impact on the efforts how can we further
7:12 pm
capitalizing the for the sector going is now a party small sectors to be involved in one entry talk a little bit about what you were able to accomplish. >> and so every been meaning i thought you know we just need to be able to change this and so went to joe the president. [laughter] sigil, he saw what was happening and said yes, and i'm an educator, not a doctor. while i am a doctor. [laughter] [laughter] but i knew there had to be the right to convene people and to do it through the white house. so we got to work right away and joe said you know let's infuse the federal government with money someone you we put in $1 million, to advance women's
7:13 pm
research. [laughter] [laughter] [applause] [applause] >> we worked a lot through the nih in the way to do the research and to ensure the data they separated research it on women and men separately. >> and private equity is not really to take on because it was too risky we thought well let's push this forward and us try to find answers more quickly. so that's what we did in the me give you two examples and so endometriosis, for many of you who may not know that is come as a hardening of the lining in the uterus usually take like ten
7:14 pm
years, to diagnose it. it's really hard to diagnose what we did through this new fast track of this women's health is women's research, is that they develop a blood test that would tell you quickly whether you had in demetrio truces so that was remarkable and was life-changing. >> and you talk about ten years and we talked about on some people it takes so long and they don't realize the theme today there identified with a test for individual to be able to go to the physician site can i identify if i have this or not. >> and in another example was migraines. more women get migraines than mine and men do as of the started to study the reason why men are more women get migraines
7:15 pm
and so, i'm really proud of the work that we did and help that were continues in the research continues because there are so many answers, that we question we need to find answers to. >> well women all of the world are looking to understand, what diseases affect to me differently and recognize that 80 percent of auto immune diseases whereby women they are the ones that have been disproportionately even when we think about the conditions party vascular disease mark all told particular to the importance of the symptoms to look for women. because down the line all types of diseases alzheimer's into theirs are marked with women. >> and we make sure that we invited doctor carol many of you may know her printed from yell university and she came in to lead the program read in his i think that made a big difference of the people saw how serious we
7:16 pm
were about taking the sonic the white house second accomplishments get about their all of the federal efforts, we o prove this will continue in terms of the research is absolutely critical as you thint what can we do differently and when the opportunities now for you see for the impact. >> will i think that we have in the united states we have the best biomedical research in the world pretty naturally, i was just in of adobe if humans and i saw that the medical system and how they set up in the tackett through prevention more than i think that we do here in the und states i think it one of the things they did, was that they gathered and had a place together all the data on breast cancer. animate such a difference sort
7:17 pm
of broken of this hot as we seem to be having in the united states but researchers needed to share research and information is out i think really come of this is a global problem and it is not just here in the united states. >> another opportunity critical trials we don't have enough women it involved in clinical techies not tracking them in case were reversing the progress made. because we think about the opportunity for devices and diagnoses and treatments and cures and make sure women in education as an educator, you know that all too well that get information talk to your physician healthcare system let's give women enrolled and was affecting them and then make a transformative difference so absolutely about the opportunities i cannot if you talk a little bit about the role
7:18 pm
here with a lot in the audience. and i about the work we are trying to do on women's health is really with the private sector that we needed this sets stakeholders to invest in women's health and in the research to support the innovators trying to transform the field pretty so as you thinking about working with us was exciting to you about this. >> think that this is really an opportunity for business for private equity. anyone does not seem like the federal governments really going to be as involved as they were in so we need to look at this as a challenge but also as an opportunity and think we all have a part to play in every aspect of this and i know as we work together serve, and one of the things that excite me is
7:19 pm
that mike milford is known for doing something fast and quick and efficiently. we intend to set up a digital platform and bringing together all this information and you might to talk more about that instead up i find so that we can start the research. >> is with the network, primarily three things that they want to do together you talk about that very well publishing the platform and sharing information and resources and getting back specifically out individuals innovators and so they can share with her doing with others involved here too often that there silos across the work happening and with those working try to make a difference for the disease conditions was the information in a chair where the best practices that we can share how we support that and that community so i called you to join us of your point to produce me that i will, quite
7:20 pm
information bear on that predict the segment is the investment fund enveloping infrastructure for that really about bringing together resources and financial resources that we need for the innovators long to accelerate the work they're doing and think about for example, these are developing and platforms run particular diagnostics and what imagery the resources and funding to continue the work. this with the funding is intended to do their part is watching campaigns and launching projects onto a campaign i'm good without. >> yes you are so sweet campaign. an awareness campaign in the reading to continue this incredible momentum that we have already seen over so many years and you really are poised to help to do this capitalize this more excited about that. >> thank you back and talk about this business case for this committee and this incredible data in about from bcg we can
7:21 pm
address women's health, the trillion dollar opportunity for the world and the estimate just for conditions, is a 300 billion-dollar opportunity so we cannot said at the silence, for me is not just about world that is a business imperative we need everybody here to be involved in that as well and so i think that we've made the case. >> yes everybody should be involved, and do you think they are asleep. [laughter] [laughter] [laughter] >> , québec. >> these of the eight types. [laughter] here at 8:00 o'clock morning radio. >> what you call to action we been in conversation we have talked about really what i see as an opportunity to be involved women in all policies. so something should be set aside as you and i work on the women's project and then i worked on the
7:22 pm
respite healthcare pretty do you think about it same way. >> is ideal you know, is i'm sure maybe, some of you in the audience like okay, women's health is about you know ovarian health boards about menopause and that is not true, it is about all diseases and think of the things how women and men are affected and differently. in osteoporosis for example, there's not one man in his audience who has that is there. >> no, that is incredible. so the whole disease of osteoporosis when we think about it is affects men and women but mostly women get hit pretty all summer some you know it affects men and women that it affects women differently braided or my comp mentioned heart disease far there are so many diseases, that we cannot think of that is just
7:23 pm
women's diseases, it is just how do we treat women differently when you go many of us go see our doctors, we just get more sort of well we don't get the answers that we need. so we are looking to each other to kind of like how did you solve this or what you know about that read and this is wide open for these companies committee come up with solutions and offer women products, because what is more important than health because if you do not have your health, you have nothing. you have all of the power in the world, you have all of the money in the world, but if you do not have your health, you have nothing so i think that we are looking to get the business community to really to kind of take this on into you know have a little audacity. just come out and say hey, we have you, we have you going to
7:24 pm
solve this morning to put money in this pretty some from the goodness of your heart and you have to look at your business says, i think how can i look at my business differently. what can we do to advance women's health research i think that is the bottom line to the hard reality is that if 51 percent of the population women. >> yes. >> is are you talking but health is a foundation for a good life and really is a population level of conversation literally giving his call to action. when i think about the future, was the ideal everybody should have the best health invest life and we look at and then met need happening across women's health conditions and the effect that women differ layer disproportionally were leaving the whole population will have a population; if we did longer yes
7:25 pm
and her health. >> in 2025, having this conversation on why the women included the research and innovations successful. and not accelerated a. >> and it is urgent. and it's very personal and i hope that all of us know that same personal need and the urgency to accomplish the goals we set out here pretty this global, this is global and it's really one of the world troubled had an opportunity the course everywhere. [laughter] [laughter] >> around the world and i see the same sensitive issues everywhere we talk about it and unite with their and i was in we had really here in the audience here and she was really responsible for the women's health. in those conversations, they
7:26 pm
were talking about stigma women's health. minnetonka but in the same way that we do and so as we think about this issue how we bring awareness, all of the world and catalyzing the innovations in the system to really tackle this issue and we're just so thrilled and sure the women's health network and thrilled that you're using your voice using your platforms integral to make a difference in a role as it affects millions across entire ecosystems of many are doing incredible work on a boost that work to all of them for the resource they need to carry that out so thank you so much. >> will thank you for giving me the opportunity thank you for coming this morning.
