For those on a fertility journey, the Mira Hormone Monitor helped 84% of patients conceive during the first 6 cycles.
Plus, OB/GYNs, REIs, and Integrative and Functional medicine practitioners widely rely on Mira for continuous hormone data in addition to incorporating other standard-of-care measures, revolutionizing diagnostic decisions while lowering costs and improving outcomes.

Daré Bioscience
Website: https://darebioscience.com/
Daré believe women’s health is an important therapeutic area that deserves dramatically increased attention, investment and innovation.
Some of the most persistent unmet needs in women’s health are not yet solved simply because companies have not taken the time to address them. They are the premier partner in women’s health working to address these problems head on, utilizing a novel innovation acceleration model that they believe enables us to identify and advance product candidates more efficiently than traditional R&D driven organizations.
Innovation does not have to start from scratch. The product candidates we identify, in many cases, already have a successful proof of concept study or an established safety profile for the active ingredient that they can leverage in the development process.
They advance the most promising therapies and look to partner our programs at mid or later-stages of development with companies in women’s health that share our commitment to expand options and improve outcomes for women.
