Learn from patient stories

Did you know that, according to research, it takes an average of 10 years for individuals with endometriosis to receive a diagnosis?

Endometriosis is still a taboo topic in society. One of the major issues is the lack of data. For example, the exact sequence of events leading to a diagnosis remains largely unknown.

It's time to change that!

In this study, we aim to analyze the complete history of endometriosis patients. Your story can significantly contribute to finally shedding light on this issue.

"My doctor – and sometimes even my family – don't understand me. Seeing that there are others who face the same challenges gives me hope."

Frequently Asked Questions

What is mama health?

Mama health is a Berlin-based health startup aimed at helping patients with similar stories and experiences find each other, exchange information, and learn from one another.

We collect patient experiences and aggregate data to create comprehensive visualizations that can help you better understand your health journey and learn from others. You can also connect with a community of individuals who understand your experiences and can provide support.

I don’t have a confirmed diagnosis of endometriosis. Can I still participate?

Yes! The study is open to everyone in the German-speaking region who has a diagnosis or suspicion of endometriosis or adenomyosis.

Will my personal information be treated confidentially?

Absolutely. We place the highest value on the privacy and confidentiality of your personal information. You ultimately decide which health data (especially symptoms, medications, treatments, etc.) you share with us. All collected data is anonymized, aggregated, and stored securely on German servers to ensure that your identity is protected.

Are the resources on mama health medical advice?

The information provided by mama health should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice or diagnosis. If you have medical questions or concerns, you should consult a qualified doctor to receive appropriate advice and treatment.

Who has access to the information in the endometriosis knowledge database?

Our goal is to use this information to improve the overall situation. For this reason, we ensure that all actors in the healthcare sector can learn from this data: other patients, scientists (in a pseudonymized form), and healthcare companies (in an anonymized form). We ensure that no direct conclusions can be drawn about you as an individual.

How can I connect with others on mama health?

Mama health offers various interactive opportunities such as discussion forums, support groups, and community events to enable connection with other patients. You can join relevant groups, participate in discussions, and share your experiences.

Can I track the progress of the study?

As soon as you register for the study and create a mama health account, you will have access to the "Dashboard" with visualizations and insights based on aggregated endometriosis histories. These insights will help you understand your health journey compared to others and recognize patterns or trends.

What happens to my data if I decide not to participate in the study anymore?

You can revoke your participation in the study at any time and request the deletion of your data from the mama health platform at any time. Most of your data can be accessed through your login. Additional information, as well as our complete privacy policy, can be accessed when you register for the study.

How is mama health funded?

Mama health is a Berlin-based health startup for patients with chronic conditions and their communities. The use of our platform is free and will remain so. The knowledge generated from patient experiences (the so-called "Patient Journey") is relevant for companies and institutions in the healthcare industry, helping them optimize decisions on products, services, and regulations. The collaboration with these clients funds the platform.

Important: We never share your personal data; we only validate aggregated/anonymized information as part of this study and aim to publish our findings scientifically in collaboration with Charité.
