Closing the gender gap in
cardiovascular research
A Note From Our Founders
Our idea for Bloomer Tech started when we discovered that women were essentially excluded from cardiovascular clinical trials until the NIH mandated that change in 1993. This is why existing technologies and therapies often fall short, because most of them have been designed using data primarily from male animals and men.
We named Bloomer Tech after Amelia Bloomer, a women’s rights advocate from the 1800s who used fashion to revolutionize women's health. Since founding Bloomer Tech, we continue to be motivated by others who are raising awareness and leading the movement towards addressing women’s heart health.
