Improving NHS perimenopausal diagnosis and HRT prescription through AI, machine learning and big data

10月12日，英国政府的跨党派议会更年期小组（APPG）表示，迫切需要做更多的工作来帮助妇女，包括早期筛查，为卫生工作者提供新的症状培训，并改善获得治疗的机会。“英国数百万妇女应该被邀请在45岁时进行NHS健康检查，以讨论更年期和HRT处方应该是免费的，国会议员说。APPG主席、工党议员卡罗琳？哈里斯（Carolyn Harris）表示：“我们开始感受到变革的潮流，但更年期的禁忌仍然盛行于社会的各个角落--在工作场所、家庭和朋友之间、教育领域以及医疗行业。”“对于英国女性来说，接受激素替代疗法仍然是一种邮政编码彩票，那些有能力在其他地方寻求治疗的人和那些不能接受治疗的人之间存在明显的鸿沟。一半的人口将经历更年期，但围绕女性健康问题的“根深蒂固的禁忌”意味着对1300万处于围绝经期或更年期的女性的支持“完全不够”，议员们警告说。“NHS必须对所有45岁的女性进行健康检查，当所有女性被邀请预约时，以类似于宫颈癌涂片的方式提供，”它的报告说。“这对于确保妇女在围绝经期之前或早期阶段参与卫生系统至关重要，有助于在早期阶段诊断更年期，并确保妇女做好更好的准备，并获得管理更年期过渡所需的正确信息和治疗。“- APPG报告2022年10月12日\.

On the 12th October the UK GOV the all-party parliamentary group on menopause (APPG) said that more needs to be done urgently to help women, including earlier screening , introducing fresh training on symptoms for health workers, and improving access to treatment."Millions of women across the UK should be invited for an NHS health check at the age of 45 to discuss the menopause and HRT prescriptions should be free, MPs have said."We are beginning to feel the tide of change but the taboo around the menopause still prevails in all corners of society -- in workplaces, within families and among friends, in education, and in the medical profession," said Labour MP Carolyn Harris, the chair of the APPG."Access to HRT remains a postcode lottery for women in the UK and there is a stark divide between those who can afford to seek treatment elsewhere, and those who cannot.Half the population will experience the menopause, but an "entrenched taboo" around women's health issues means support for the 13 million women going through perimenopause or the menopause is "completely inadequate", MPs warn."The NHS must implement a health check for all women at the age of 45, offered in a similar way to cervical cancer smears when all women are invited to make an appointment," its report will say."This is crucial to ensure women are engaged with the health system ahead of or in the early stages of perimenopause, help diagnose menopause at an earlier stage and ensure women are better prepared, and have the right information and treatment they need to manage the menopause transition." - APPG report 12th October 2022\.Tuune are a Google-backed female hormonal health company focussed on improving current care pathways, for both doctors and patients, for the menopause and other hormonal health conditions through the use of data, AI and technology.Addressing the challenges outlined by the APPG, we are a building new AI-based menopausal and perimenopausal pre-screening and support tool for GPs and Patients, to address the diagnosis and care challenges associated with 1.3m perimenopausal women, aged 35-45, in the UK, improve care and address the inefficiencies in the current system.
