At WHIN, we believe innovation in health must meet people where they are, especially during life stages that have historically been underserved. That’s why we’re excited to highlight a promising new initiative from digital health company Noom, which has launched a free Menopause Education Hub designed to bring smart, supportive resources to midlife health management. Developed in partnership with Tamsen Fadal, a longtime journalist and now Noom’s first Menopause Awareness Advocate, the new hub builds on Noom’s core behavior change methodology to help users understand and manage the many changes associated with menopause. From metabolic shifts and weight management to sleep, strength, and energy, the platform addresses the full experience, not just the symptoms. What makes this launch especially notable is its timing and intent. When it came out during National Women’s Health Month, the Menopause Hub showed that digital health companies are becoming more aware that midlife is not […]

At WHIN, we know that health innovation doesn’t just rely on brilliant ideas, it also depends on the ability to communicate them. From pitching to presenting, the way founders and professionals deliver their message can make the difference between a connection and a missed opportunity. That’s why we’re spotlighting insights from the recent Power Voice for Female Founders session, hosted by FutureFemHealth and featuring executive speech coach Alicia Dara. Alicia Dara has worked with top leaders at companies like Amazon and Microsoft, helping them develop their voice, presence, and ability to lead from the front. In this session, she shared straightforward tools for speaking with confidence, something many health innovators need, but few are trained for. One of the most important takeaways was that confidence isn’t a personality trait, it’s a learnable skill. Whether you’re leading a presentation, pitching to investors, or guiding a growing team, your ability to clearly […]

The World Economic Forum’s new report, Prescription for Change: Policy Recommendations for Women’s Health Research, makes one thing clear, this is not just a challenge, it’s a moment of extraordinary opportunity. The women’s health market is projected to reach $1.3 trillion by 2030, and yet it remains dramatically underexplored. Only 7% of global health research funding supports female-specific conditions, leaving immense potential on the table for better outcomes and bold innovation. The report outlines key strategies that can unlock that potential. At WHIN, we see these recommendations not as distant policy goals, but as a call to action we’re already acting on. From supporting early-stage innovators to fostering cross-sector collaboration through our WHIN Workspaces and monthly WHIN Wednesdays, we’re creating the ecosystem described in this report, right here in Jacksonville. WHIN is not waiting for the change, we’re building it. Whether you’re launching a company, mentoring new founders, or exploring how your ideas can become solutions, WHIN is your […]
