The project aims to elevate women’s pelvic health and develop comprehensive educational materials for clinicians to inform decisions and diagnose conditions faster, according to an Aug. 19 company news release. The project will encompass a wide spectrum of diseases of the female pelvis, which are often understudied, misdiagnosed and ineffectively treated. 

In the U.S., 20% of all outpatient appointments in secondary care for female patients are about pelvic pain, which accounts for an estimated $882 million in outpatient management expenses, according to the release.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
