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

10月12日，英国政府跨党派议会更年期小组(APPG)表示，迫切需要采取更多措施来帮助女性，包括更早地进行筛查，为卫生工作者引入新的症状培训，以及改善获得治疗的机会。议员们表示：“英国数百万女性应该在45岁时被邀请到NHS进行健康检查，讨论更年期问题，HRT处方应该是免费的。我们已经开始感受到变革的浪潮，但围绕更年期的禁忌仍然在社会的各个角落盛行--在工作场所、家庭和朋友之间、在教育和医疗职业中。APPG主席、工党议员卡罗琳·哈里斯说：“对于英国女性来说，获得激素替代疗法仍然是一种邮编彩票，那些有钱到其他地方寻求治疗的人和那些负担不起到其他地方寻求治疗的人之间存在着巨大的鸿沟。一半的人将经历更年期，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岁的女性实施健康检查，就像邀请所有女性预约宫颈癌涂片一样。“《APPG Report 2022年10月12日》--APPG Report 2022年10月12日。Tuune是一家由谷歌支持的女性荷尔蒙健康公司，致力于通过使用数据、人工智能和技术来改善目前对医生和患者的护理途径，为更年期和其他荷尔蒙健康状况改善现有的护理途径。我们正在为全科医生和患者建立一个新的基于人工智能的更年期和围绝经期前筛查和支持工具，以解决与英国130万年龄在35-45岁的围绝经期妇女相关的诊断和护理挑战，改善护理并解决当前系统中的低效问题。

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.
