In a groundbreaking move that showcases its commitment to women's health, Mira has officially launched the first-ever Hormone Innovators Awards 2025. This exciting initiative aims to spotlight and celebrate leaders in the fields of science, technology, and advocacy who are stepping up to advance women's hormonal health during a pivotal moment in the industry.
The awards are part of Mira's annual Sex Hormones Awareness Week. This year marks a significant milestone, as it is the 120th anniversary of hormone discovery. Despite such important history, women's health continues to face significant challenges. Recent statistics reveal that women's health receives only a meager 2.3% of venture capital funding compared to the broader healthcare sector in 2024. This stark contrast highlights the urgent need for a shift in priorities and recognition of female-centric health initiatives.
Sylvia Kang, founder and CEO of Mira, underscored the importance of this initiative: "For too long, women's health has been undervalued and underserved. The innovators we're recognizing are not only advancing groundbreaking science but also reshaping an industry that has historically overlooked half the population. By championing investment and innovation in hormonal health, we can drive lasting change for generations to come."
The Hormone Innovators Awards will feature multiple categories, including:
1. Hormonal Health Company of the Year
2. Hormonal Health Innovation of the Year
3. Hormonal Health Leader of the Year
4. Best Use of Data to Close the Hormonal Health Gap
5. Hormonal Health Partnership of the Year
Applications for these prestigious awards will be accepted from March 25 until May 25, 2025, with winners set to be announced on June 20, 2025. Interested candidates, including brands, businesses, and individuals making a significant impact in hormonal health, are encouraged to apply through Mira's official website.
A distinguished panel of experts, including notable figures like Kathrin Folkendt, Melissa Barall, Ikram Guerd, and Sylvia Kang, will evaluate the applications. This recognition holds immense value, as winners will gain industry acknowledgment alongside exclusive opportunities for media exposure. They will be featured in press announcements and relevant publications, and have a chance to appear as guests on a dedicated episode of Mira’s podcast.
Moreover, awardees will participate in an event hosted by Mira in San Francisco, where they will present their insights to a broader audience, thus amplifying their impact. This platform not only celebrates their contributions but also encourages further innovation within the sector.
Mira, based in San Francisco, dedicates itself to hormonal health by providing integrated care and hormonal testing solutions. Founded in 2015, Mira has made it its mission to produce data-driven hormonal health strategies that empower women through every stage of life, from menstruation to menopause.
The Hormone Innovators Awards 2025 stand as a testament to the pivotal nature of hormonal health in women's overall wellbeing and the need for continued support and investment. For those looking to make a difference in this essential area of healthcare, this initiative not only offers recognition but also a unique chance to contribute to a transformative movement.
