📣 Breaking News: Women and Men ARE Different

🎀 #Women are disproportionately affected by many #neurodegenerative diseases, show different symptoms than men, and also react differently to available therapies. For instance, women with #Alzheimer's are more likely to show depressive symptoms at the onset, which are often not recognized as Alzheimer's. This leads to longer diagnosis times, allowing the disease to progress before countermeasures can be taken.

😳 If these differences seem obvious, how can we explain the significant gaps in #medicine, #research, and #policy that cause women to receive suboptimal medical care? Why is the inclusion of women in clinical trials still so low? How can we continue to accept treatments developed primarily for men as sufficient for women?

🌈 Greater consideration of #genderspecific differences is crucial in all phases of research, therapeutic treatment, and clinical care to ensure the best possible outcomes for everyone.

💜 This is why I deeply admire the work of Dr Antonella Santuccione Chadha, founder of the Women's Brain Foundation (#WBF), and I am honored to have recently joined the board, to work alongside great women like Janita N. and Mariapaola Barbato and more than 40 scientists and researchers.

🦋 The Women's Brain Foundation project began seven years ago with the aim of investigating these differences and raising awareness among researchers, experts, political decision-makers, and the general public. Our ultimate goal is to establish a #researchinstitute focused on gender-specific medicine to develop #personalizedtherapies for women, men, and all gender spectrums.

💟 Recently, we launched our #Womensquota campaign to raise awareness of the unmet medical needs of women and fundraise to sustain WBF activities, including establishing an independent research institute dedicated to gender-specific research. #Donations are very welcome (see QR Code below).

🙋‍♀️We are currently accepting #partners and #sponsors to co-host the campaign at specific locations, events, or companies. Please reach out directly to me if you are interested. The results of the campaign will be discussed at the #WorldEconomicForum2025, where the WBF will organize a roundtable on #brainhealth.

This initiative, developed with Ogilvy Switzerland has been translated into five languages - English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish, and was recently featured in Tages-Anzeiger female special ‘Fokus Die Frau’. Check out among the pictures below, full link to the magazine in comments.

🙏 Thanks to Carla Grando , Cilly Bernardette Schnider, PhD , Camilla Lindquist Pedersen !

💪 There is no wealth without health!

In the past few days I had the privilege of attending two side events at the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva:

➡ The presentation of the Economist Impact’s new report "Rethinking mental health care" by Elly Vaughan, Aanisah Khanzada (MPH) and Rory Meryon. https://lnkd.in/eCwMzr5n

➡ The launch of of Alzheimer's Disease International newly issued report “From Plan to Impact”, presented by Paola Barbarino. https://lnkd.in/dARdPuyw

💡 While it is clear that #mentalhealth is crucial for each of us, and a pre-requisite for societal advancement, the first obstacle to improving mental health is #stigma. 🙈

How can we study diseases, share #bestpractices, advocate for increasing #publicfunding and #innovate… if we are #ashamed to talk about it?

#FACT: Did you know that while #dementia is the #1 cause of mortality in a number of nations (those that actually record their numbers), only 30% of the countries have a #dementiaplan? (And not all of these plans are “good enough”).

💰 Mental health care needs more #resources, and #innovation of all types to enable #healthsystems to achieve more with limited budgets. #WHO member states need to extend the #Globalactionplanondementia until 2035.

🧐 As Paola Barbarino graciously put by: mental health (and dementia in particular) is a complex topic. We need the tools for #earlydiagnosis, and at the same time address what happens next in terms of treatments and care, for #patients and #caregivers.

🤕 We need #personalisedcare and #precisionmedicine. Women are affected differently by mental diseases, so we need sex & gender precision medicine. At the Women's Brain Foundation we are proudly working on this under the leadership of Dr Antonella Santuccione Chadha!

🤝 As Carinne Brouillon, PharmD emphasized: let's work together! #Policymakers, #pharmaceuticalcompanies, #investors, #scientists, #researchers, #psychiatrists and #familydoctors, together with #patients and #caregivers.

🙏 Thanks to the inspiring and knowledgeable panelists of the two events: Dan Chisholm, Peter Kéri, Carinne Brouillon, PharmD, Kacie Kelly and Dr Tarun Dua, Dr Anshu Banerjee and Emily Ong

🙏 And to Renu Vohra, Iryna Shevchenko , Alève Mine for the interesting conversations.
