Daye

Our goal at Daye was to turn Black Friday into a Bright Friday! 🌟 For each purchase from our website, we donated 20% to Wellbeing of Women to fund vital research. 2,340 people of our community, across 14 countries chose to invest in women's health research instead of chasing Black Friday deals. 🌍   That's 2,340 votes for a future where women's health isn't an afterthought! All of you helped us exceed our £10,000 goal for Wellbeing of Women, bringing us closer to a future where: - Endometriosis doesn't take 7+ years to diagnose  - Menopause support is the norm, not the exception  - Women's health research gets more than just 2% of funding Stay tuned as we work with Wellbeing of Women to show exactly how your contribution will transform women's healthcare for generations to come. Together, we proved that while Black Friday deals come and go, investing in women's health research creates lasting change. 🙌

This Black Friday, we're flipping the script on consumerism and addressing a critical issue: the gender gap in health research and advertising. Did you know: • Only 2.5% of healthcare R&D funding goes to gynaecological health.  • Female health issues receive disproportionately less media coverage, and are frequently censored by large advertising platforms like Meta, Google, TikTok and Amazon.  • As a result of the lack of research and public information, 44% of girls do not know what is happening to them when they first get their period. From November 25 to December 4, Daye is redirecting 20% of all sales to Wellbeing of Women, supporting innovative projects in women's health. Some of their current initiatives include: • Developing evidence-based toolkits for companies to support employees impacted by menopause • Investigating non-invasive diagnostic methods for conditions like endometriosis • Researching the causes and potential treatments for heavy menstrual bleeding 60 years. £75 million invested. 600+ research projects. This Black Friday, Daye is proud to support Wellbeing of Women's vital work in advancing women's health. Because progress isn't just about individual health – it's about creating a society where all health issues are given equal attention and resources. #BreakingTaboos #WomensHealthMatters #ResearchForEquity

The gender gap in health research isn't just a feminist issue – it's an economic imperative. When half of our population receives substandard healthcare due to medical knowledge gaps, we all pay the price. Consider this: women lose an average of 9 working years to undiagnosed health conditions, while endometriosis alone costs the UK economy £8.2 billion annually in lost productivity. The math is simple: we can't build thriving economies while ignoring the health needs of 51% of our workforce. From the 7.5-year diagnostic delay for endometriosis to the 80% of women experiencing debilitating menopause symptoms at work, these aren't just health statistics – they're economic barriers. In an era where every percentage point of GDP growth matters, can we really afford to let preventable health issues sideline millions of talented professionals? The answer is clear: investing in women's health research isn't just the right thing to do – it's smart economics. This Black Friday, we're choosing to invest in progress. By redirecting 20% of our sales to Wellbeing of Women's research initiatives, we're not just funding studies – we're investing in our collective future. Their work has already: • Led to the use of ultrasound scanning in pregnancy • Discovered the link between HPV and cervical cancer • Transformed understanding of heavy and painful periods By redirecting 20% of our sales from November 25 to December 4, we're not offering discounts – we're offering progress. Because when we invest in women's health research, everyone benefits. #InvestInWomensHealth #ResearchMatters #BreakingTheBias

This Black Friday, Daye is shining a spotlight on a critical issue: the gender health gap. Gynaecological health research has been historically underfunded. For every £1 spent on research into women's health, £4 is spent on men's. This disparity has led to significant gaps in our understanding of conditions that primarily affect women and AFAB individuals. To address this imbalance, we're partnering with Wellbeing of Women , a pioneering organization that has been at the forefront of women's health research for 60 years. From November 25 to December 4, we're redirecting 20% of our sales to fund their crucial work. Some eye-opening facts: • It takes an average of 7.5 years to diagnose endometriosis, a condition affecting 1 in 10 women • Only 2.1% of publicly funded research is dedicated solely to reproductive health • Women are 50% more likely to be misdiagnosed following a heart attack By supporting this initiative, you're not just making a purchase – you're investing in a future where women's health is given the attention it deserves. #ClosingTheGenderHealthGap #WomensHealthResearch #EquityInHealthcare

60 years. £75 million invested. 600+ research projects. These numbers represent Wellbeing of Women's commitment to advancing women's health. This Black Friday, Daye is proud to support their vital work! The gender health gap is a complex issue, rooted in historical biases and systemic inequalities: • Women and AFAB folks weren't required to be included in clinical trials until 1993 • One of the largest endometriosis studies globally focused on assessing if patients with the disease are perceived to be more… attractive • Research on menopause has been described as "inadequate" by leading health organizations • Women still get diagnosed later than men across over 700 conditions. Wellbeing of Women's impact is immeasurable: • Their early work helped to link HPV and cervical cancer, resulting in preventative vaccination and screening programmes globally • They're currently funding research to develop a non-hormonal, non surgical treatment for endometriosis • Their studies have improved pregnancy outcomes for millions worldwide From November 25 to December 4, 20% of all Daye sales will directly fund this crucial research. Because progress in women's health is progress for all. #ScienceOverSavings #WomensHealthResearch #EquityInMedicine

Daye's Head of Global Health Strategy Michelle Gomes and Senior Design Engineer Elena Provaggi, PhD were thrilled to be at #IPVC2024 in Edinburgh last week, where global experts gathered to discuss groundbreaking advances in HPV research and cervical cancer prevention. 🔬 Fascinating developments in HPV self-sampling are showing promising results, with recent studies demonstrating that home-based testing could increase screening rates by over 3-fold in underserved populations. DNA methylation testing is emerging as a powerful triage tool, with markers like ASCL1 and LHX8 showing impressive sensitivity for detecting high-grade lesions. The evolution of HPV genotyping is also reshaping patient management, with HPV16/18 positivity now being incorporated into clinical algorithms for direct colposcopy referral. Exciting to see how extended genotyping is helping stratify patient risk more effectively. Michelle Gomes is dedicated to informing public health strategies that enhance cervical cancer screening. Her research aims to advocate the potential of self-sampling methods, like Daye's Diagnostic Tampon, to improve screening rates by offering an alternative to clinician-collected samples, particularly in countries like Tanzania with high prevalence of Cervical Cancer. Our UK HPV STAMP trial is soon to be published, watch this space! Elena Provaggi, PhD is currently working on groundbreaking innovations in HPV testing by developing even further the STAMP method! Her work combines the functions of a vaginal speculum and swab into a compact, tampon-applicator design. With optimized dimensions, it precisely guides the tampon for optimal proximity to the cervix. This unique tampon design allows for simultaneous entry into the cervical canal and effective sample collection from both the endocervix and ectocervix, making it easier than ever to prioritize your health. We’re committed to empowering you with tools that support your well-being in a comfortable and innovative way! #CervicalCancer #HPVPrevention #WomensHealth #MedicalResearch #Innovation
