About
The Challenge We're Addressing:
Systemic healthcare barriers lead to medical dismissal, particularly for women and gender-diverse individuals. Our research with 120+ participants shows 89% of women feel dismissed by providers, resulting in delayed diagnoses, inadequate treatment, and poor health outcomes. Fragmented care across multiple specialists makes it impossible for patients to effectively communicate complex symptom patterns during brief appointments.
Our Solution & Market Validation:
HerSay is an AI-powered health companion app that empowers patients to:
-
Track symptoms comprehensively across physical, mental, and lifestyle factors
-
Identify patterns through AI-powered analysis
-
Prepare effectively for medical appointments
-
Advocate confidently in healthcare conversations
Proven Traction:
- 120+ participants in user research demonstrating strong product-market fit
- 7.5/10 average likelihood to use score
- Commercially launched and scaling in Canada
- Both B2C (subscription) and B2B (employers, insurers, health systems) revenue models
Horizon Europe 2026 Alignment:

Personalised Approaches: AI-driven pattern recognition delivers individualized insights based on each person's unique health data and experiences
