Despite its centrality to women's health, the menstrual cycle remains understudied in computational health research due to its complexity, variability, and limited data availability. Recent advances in generative artificial intelligence (AI…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting 2-10% of reproductive-aged women, most commonly presenting with pelvic pain and subfertility. While its impact on reproductive health is increasingly recognized, the vaginal microb…

Digital health tools provide longitudinal physiological and behavioural data that can address knowledge gaps in women's health. This is particularly relevant for understanding hormone-driven physiological changes and symptoms, which impact …

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition requiring surgical or imaging visualization for definitive diagnosis. How endometriotic lesion characteristics relate to circulating inflammatory markers remains unclear. We evaluated 11 inf…

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is associated with HIV transmission and pre-term birth, yet the etiology of BV remains unknown. Our analysis addressed that knowledge gap by comparing diagnostic techniques and using Bayesian inference to find speci…

In this study, we assessed if women with endometriosis have greater odds than matched controls of receiving an autoimmune diagnosis within two-years of their endometriosis diagnosis. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using two large…

We assess racial disparities in medication prescription patterns for endometriosis patients across Medicaid administrative claims data. We use ATC 3rd level drug codes to identify drug classes prescribed significantly more frequently for en…

Endometriosis is an enigmatic disease whose diagnosis and management are being transformed through innovative surgical, molecular, and computational technologies. Integrating single-cell and other omic disease data with clinical and surgica…

This perspective explores the transformative potential of data-driven insights to understand and address women's reproductive health conditions. Historically, clinical studies often excluded women, hindering comprehensive research into cond…
