Episode 12: Pandia Health - Raising Half the Sky through Women’s Health

Imagine Human

Pandia Health is a Stanford-backed startup focused on improving women's health through products and services. Their first offering is a monthly birth control subscription with a doctor's prescription and delivery direct to your door available via a mobile app. Sophia believes this topic involves more than just women's reproductive equality, but also women's health and resulting ability to perform to their highest potential. She describes the health implications of periods on women including higher risk for certain forms of cancer. She also discusses the immense social impact monthly periods have on women's ability to succeed academically and in the workplace compared to their male peers, indicating that giving women the choice to control this factor of their health is tantamount to raising half the sky.
