The women's health gap is a data problem, a research problem, a care delivery problem, a funding problem, and a priority problem. We didn't count women in the studies. We didn't train physicians on what makes women's physiology distinct. We built a care delivery system around the assumption that the male body was the default, and then applied it universally — with consequences we are still measuring.

Dr. Berchuck was an author of seminal reports on the women's health gap that have changed how we understand the health of women and inspired movements across healthcare and philanthropy. Researching that gap in depth — documenting what happens when you don't study women, don't educate providers on what you do know, and don't build systems that account for the difference — revealed something the data alone couldn't capture: the gap shows up in the exam room. In the prescription that doesn't get written. In the referral that doesn't happen. In the woman who has seen five specialists and still doesn't have an answer. In the woman who is missing work and not showing up the way she wants to for her friends, her family, or herself because of health conditions that could be solved if someone knew to ask about them, or knew what to do about them.

That's what Coralie is built to fix — and why the clinical approach here is grounded in knowledge most providers were simply never given.

"I spent my career watching the same woman fall through the same gaps. She's educated. She's paying attention. She's asking the right questions. And the system wasn't built to help her figure them out."
