Great @WomenTechmakers event at #GoogleIO this year. Especially love the panelists’ point about taking small strategic risks in different areas. We could use more of these honest & real discussions to learn how successful women made it. The Q&A portion had a huge line.

#ComputerScience students interviewing for entry-level roles MUST know basic CS concepts: object orientated programming, data structures, algorithms. No exceptions. I talked to too many CS students in this generation and they don’t have the fundamentals.

One patient interviewed in her late 20s had to do an #oophorectomy because her cyst was the size of a cantaloupe. She’s at risk of having another oophorectomy, which would put her in early menopause. Heart-breaking. #endometriosis #patientstory #womenshealth #uxresearch
Who is the "right" #endometriosis surgeon? (1) Possess good skillset (2) Ability to assemble a team of experts when endometriosis is involved in other organs From @nyulangone Dr. Ted Lee's talk "When surgery works and when it doe not!" @EndoFound Patient Day 2024
Women are asked to do #hysterectomy and #oophorectomy because of how severe their #endometriosis and #fibroids are. We need to close the diagnosis gap of 10 years for endometriosis and 3.6 years for fibroids to avoid unnecessary pain. #diagnosisdelay #womenshealth #obgyn
"Chronic inflammatory states & impaired immune system may contribute to the development of endometriosis." From Dr. Amanda Chu's talk "Debunking Endometriosis" @EndoFound Patient Day 2024 #endometriosis
There seems to be fractions among the #endometriosis community: (1) Sampson's theory of retrograde menstruation vs Redwine's theory of Mulleriosis (2) Excision surgeries vs treatment via medications (3) Out-of-network private practices vs insurance-covered hospital/health system
Many physicians I interviewed @neuemoonhealth said the ways for women with #fibroids and #endometriosis to get better care are: (1) Patients have to speak up (2) Patients have to find providers who listen Seems like a lot of burden to be put on patients. #uxresearch
3 tips for college grads to find jobs in #UIUX. (1) Do pro-bono work for nonprofits to build your portfolio (2) Meet experienced designers for feedback. If they like your work they will advocate for you (3) Speak at events about your work to reach potential employers / advocates
How do patients find their #fibroids specialists, i.e. #obgyn #minimallyinvasive surgeon (102 votes)? 45% General OBGYN referral 44% Their own research 8% PCP referral Referrals should be a seamless #patientcare journey for patients #uxresearch #healthcare #servicedesign
Ranking of barriers to women getting care for #fibroids (211 votes): 39% Doctor's dismissal ➡️ Diagnosis & treatment delay 24% Fear of surgeries and recurrence of fibroids 14% Societal normalization of pain by family & teachers ➡️ Patient self-dismissal 6% Cost #uxresearch
97% of the 103 women surveyed say stress makes symptoms worse for #endometriosis 😩 Please make sure to take some rest today for #selfcare 🍵💛 #userresearch #womenshealth #mindbody #mentalhealth
Based on the 80 #userinterview w/ patients & providers @neuemoonhealth, most got #fibroids & #endometriosis diagnosis when trying pregnancy. Ultrasounds aren't routinely ordered by #OBGYN despite symptoms, but are part of the procedure when fertility is a concern. #diagnosisdelay
I was chatting with an OBGYN speaker @PelvicPainOrg last year about Dr.Google and patient education on fibroids, and she recommended @WeCan_WearWhite @FibroidFoun @MayoClinic as trusted resources. #fibroid #uterinefibroid #patienteducation #uxresearch
