The project she began works with AI to identify women experiencing menopause symptoms in Greater Manchester. It looks at how treatments of menopause vary by background, and aims to ensure that all women can access the support they need.
Dr Woolley records insights from women and health professionals on what matters most in menopause experiences. Using AI, their insights are used to extract the most relevant information from big health datasets, like UK Biobank and the Greater Manchester data environment. This approach helps to ensure that women’s voices are directly shaping the research.
And Dr Woolley believes that can make a real difference:
“I was moved by women that told me about their experiences of unequal access to services, lack of information, misdiagnosis and inadequate treatment during the menopause. By combining women’s lived experiences with the power of AI and big data, my research will provide evidence that can drive change towards menopause care that is better informed and equitable for all.”
