About us

Meet the team behind Dama Health

We're a clinically-led team of doctors, scientists, and engineers building the intelligence layer for female hormone health — so that precise, personalized care reaches every woman, not only the ones who find the right specialist.

  1. 01

    Every woman responds differently

    Two women, the same dose of hormonal medication, completely different responses. That variability is the central problem in hormone health, so trial and error, non-adherence, wasted months, and avoidable side effects are the norm.

  2. 02

    So we're doing the research to explain it

    Through our Illumina and ARPA-H work, we conduct novel pharmacogenomics research and study how genetics, biomarkers, phenotype, and prior hormone exposure shape treatment response in women's health.

  3. 03

    And building clinical AI that works for women

    AI is about to prescribe at scale, trained on gender data gaps. We can't risk encoding decades of bias. We're building the opposite: AI and systems designed for women's physiology from the ground up.

  4. 04

    Turning that into intelligence clinicians can use

    We translate evidence and our own data into clinical tools and a prescribing engine that powers clinicians, clinics, and health platforms — bringing female-physiology-specific, expert-level precision clinical reasoning to every insight and prescription.
