Closing the Gender Data Gap
Women's health has always been under prioritized in science.
Exercise your right to participate in research.
Female biology has not been studied equally since the beginning of medical research. The data used to guide clinical diagnosis today is biased to male biology. So, when women are not included in research, medical diagnosis may not be accurate for women.
You have the right to participate in research and be represented.

I love this product so much I'd be an unpaid spokesperson for it if it was approved in place of Pap smears! It gives women our dignity and some control over our health choices back!

about us
A team of scientific rebels
We are a group of people who believe something that 1.8 billion women do at any given month should not go unanswered.
In 2014, Qvin™ was founded to research and develop a product that powers an underserved and understudied population — women.
We have been challenging the status quo on period blood as a health, not hygiene product.
Qvin [pronounced kwɪn] is derived from the word woman in Denmark. We stand for every person who identifies with women, however they define it.
