    About

    The problem it solves Women's health research has historically been undervalued and understudied, leading to significant gaps in knowledge and treatment options. Studies, including those from the NIH and other major research organizations, highlight the inadequate funding for women-specific health conditions compared to the prevalence and impact of these conditions on women's lives. DeSci seeks to bridge this gap by providing a decentralized platform that incentivizes and funds research on conditions that disproportionately affect women. - Lack of Funding for Women's Healthcare Research - Disparities in Scientific Studies - Chronic Underrepresentation of Women in Clinical Trials [https://youtu.be/GluBvGfK1_s]
