Help us build Ovum - the first ever Personal Health Assistant powered by A.I to support women. Changing the future of healthcare, advocacy, and access to personalised medical knowledge.
56% of Australian women are navigating chronic health issues, and with each journey comes a myriad of challenges—misunderstood symptoms, dismissed concerns, and systemic gaps in care. We're intimately familiar with these struggles because we've lived them too. That's why we're committed to doing more than just improving the status quo. Ovum is leveraging the power of A.I to create the first personal health assistant that understands and empowers women with their health over a lifetime.
With Ovum, every question is valid, every symptom is taken seriously, and every woman’s story is heard.
At Ovum, we recognise the unique challenges women face throughout their lives, especially those with chronic illnesses. Our mission is to provide a platform where women can understand, manage, and take control of their health, guided by intelligent, personalised insights.
Founder Dr Ariella Heffernan-Marks spoke with journalist Tegan Jones for her exclusive artificial intelligence column about Ovum’s mission to close the gender healthgap.
Ovum has been recognised by leaders in women’s health, investment, software development, and finance.
We recognise that women’s empowerment is not just about physical health, but emotional, sexual and psychological health. This is why we have collaborated with numerous brands that represent various aspects of women’s empowerment.
At Ovum, we believe the foundation of impactful healthcare lies in listening—to the unique stories, experiences, and needs of women. Our platform is in the making, and your voice is pivotal. Let's shape women’s healthcare together, for every woman, everywhere.
