👉 AI Won’t Fix Healthcare If It Ignores Women

Good Morning!

AI is everywhere — from our phones to our doctor’s offices. But here’s the problem: if women’s health data is missing, AI could actually make the care gap worse.

This week, I sat down with Dr. Nikita Patel — pharmacist, biomedical engineer, and healthcare innovation leader — for a candid conversation about what’s hype, what’s real, and what’s at stake for women’s health as AI takes center stage.

💡 Bonus: I was also a guest on the Bio from the Bayou podcast, where I shared my mission with Fempower Health and why fixing women’s exclusion from clinical trials is urgent for all of us.

AI Won’t Fix Healthcare If It Ignores Women

Why women’s health must be centered in the AI revolution

We hear a lot of promises about AI transforming healthcare. But without women’s health data, these tools risk repeating the same systemic failures women already face.

This week on Fempower Health, Niki and I unpack:

💡 What You’ll Learn

• Why AI is only as good as the data it’s trained on — and what that means for women.

• How biased datasets risk reinforcing dismissal and misdiagnosis in women’s health.

• The Ambien case study: what it reveals about clinical trial design.

• How AI could help women advocate better in short doctor visits.

• Where privacy concerns show up in consumer health apps.

• What’s hype vs. what’s real in “AI-powered” women’s health tools.

• A vision for AI that truly personalizes care, from digital twins to smarter trial design.

Women’s Health, Clinical Trials, and Changing the System in Biotech Innovation

I also joined Bio from the Bayou with Elaine Hamm, PhD to talk about my mission with Fempower Health. We explored the history of women’s exclusion from clinical trials, the gaps still shaping care today, and why patient advocacy is essential for real change.
