Akifa Khattak, Esq. has faced the silent epidemic of endometriosis head-on, transforming her personal battle with this debilitating condition into a beacon of hope through innovation. After enduring years of pain and invasive surgeries, Akifa, a healthcare attorney, co-founded Her Health AI—a groundbreaking, non-invasive AI-driven diagnostic tool that promises to revolutionize care for millions of women suffering from endometriosis. In this episode, she shares her inspiring journey and the complexities of traditional diagnosis, which can take an agonizing seven to ten years.
