Equality in health

Equality in health research

#Closing the Gender Health Gap
In medical research, women have not been included equally for a long time because the complexity of their hormones led to considerable variance in results. Now, with advancements in AI, it is possible to conduct measurable research into gender-specific health and improve basic care for women. This is what we are working on.

My Motivation
I founded Hermaid because I believe women deserve a healthcare system that truly sees them, hears them, and supports them. No one should have to endure excruciating wait times or navigate a system that feels indifferent to their needs. Hermaid is about empowering women with technology to take control of their health and well-being.

Our platform provides a point of contact for expert advice, information, resources, and support for hormonal complaints.

For experts

Our experts provide consistent and value-based care, thanks to our collaborative approach that ensures care is always up-to-date.

For companies

We support companies in enhancing the vitality of their employees, reducing absenteeism, boosting productivity, and strengthening company loyalty.

Our Motivation

hermaid, an innovative company specializing in women's health and empowerment, was founded in 2023 by sisters Anne and Susanne to fill a gap in healthcare services for women in German-speaking countries. In 2024, Rajesh joined as the third co-founder to build and drive technological innovation.

Our focus is on gender-sensitive medicine and providing comprehensive support to people through different life stages. We are starting with a focus on menopause in women, as there are significant gaps in care and the topic is heavily stigmatized. The idea to develop our platform as a “Corporate Benefits” offering came from the realization that menopause has a significant impact on the careers of many middle-aged women. We are committed to addressing issues of work-life balance and equality.

Our platform provides evidence-based information, confidential online consultations with female doctors, courses, and a private chat service to offer women individualized and holistic support.
