The research is clear... pre- and post-surgery programs work.
There is growing evidence in endometriosis and established evidence in other conditions.
We're actively involved in the development of research proposals and grant applications to publish our own research and validate the outcomes of our program.
length of stay reduction in deep pelvic endometriosis
(Djemouai et al., 2024)
lower complication rates in deep infiltrating endometriosis(Arena et al., 2024)
less pain on day two following endometriosis surgery
(Zhang et al., 2020)
faster discharge following endometriosis surgery
(Zhang et al., 2020)
decrease in post-operative complications - Abdominal Surgery
(Barberan-Carcia et al., 2018)
reduction in length of stay - colorectal surgery
(Gillis et al., 2018)
less opiates and 4.1x faster reduction in pain post-surgery - knee replacement
(Pronk et al., 2020)
satisfaction and reduced complications - hip and knee replacement
(Gwam et al., 2019)
We're actively engaging with a number of Universities to validate what the Gynaecologists, Endometriosis clinicians, and literature is saying about pre- and post-surgery programs.
The first step is to determine the feasibility of the program which we are doing with the current pilot trial. As part of that, we're keen to support the collection of qualitative data on peoples experience to generate evidence about the program and close the gender-pain-research gap.
Qualitative research in healthcare involves collecting and analysing non-numerical data to understand concepts, opinions, or experiences. This type of research is essential for gaining insights into patient perspectives and healthcare provider experiences.
Clinical and cost-effectiveness studies evaluate the benefits and costs of medical interventions to determine their value. These studies are critical for informing healthcare policy, clinical guidelines, and reimbursement decisions. We have strong opinions that healthcare economics and environmental considerations should be embedded and woven into everything we do, that's why we incorporated it into our values.
Technological Advancements: Technology continues to evolve, and quickly. Advances in Robotics surgery, continued progress in pre- and post-surgery optimisation (which we hope to be a part of), AI-assisted diagnosis (like the IMAGEndo study), and the use of Telehealth are all promising areas as we search for an elusive cure.
Precision Medicine: Research into personalised treatments based on genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors is expanding. We hope to provide data to help understand these as we grow and collect data as part of ethics approved research studies. Understanding how these factors influence surgical outcomes will be super interesting!
Data Analytics and Health Informatics: Big data and analytics are increasingly used to improve patient outcomes, optimise hospital operations, and enhance decision-making - we aim to be part of that positive change.
We're grateful to have received generous support from passionate people and organisations who believe in using technology to provide affordable and accessible healthcare for with confirmed or suspected endometriosis - with a focus on the pivotal laparoscopic surgery timeframe
We're actively targeting Governments, Health Systems, and Health Insurers to support the program
