What We Don't Know About Women's Health—But Should

On this episode of HERology, co-hosts Drs. Joanne Stone, Anna Barbieri, and Leslee Shaw examine what we don’t know about women’s health—and why that gap matters.  

Despite major advances in medicine, women remain underrepresented in research, clinical trials, and even the design of medical devices. This conversation explores: 

• How these gaps have shaped everything from diagnosis to treatment 
• Why funding for women’s health has historically lagged behind 
• How structural issues—from fragmented care to lack of representation in leadership—continue to influence outcomes today. 

HERology from the Mount Sinai Health System is dedicated to uncovering the science behind women’s health—and pushing the conversation forward.
