Question 1

What is FemHealth?

Accepted Answer

FemHealth is a women's health research search engine that searches PubMed, EuropePMC, and OpenAlex simultaneously, showing gender balance scores, sample sizes, and exclusion criteria directly in results.

Question 2

Who is FemHealth for?

Accepted Answer

FemHealth is built for students doing literature reviews, researchers studying clinical trial design, clinicians evaluating evidence quality, and journalists or policy professionals tracking gender gaps in medicine.

Question 3

Why does gender balance in research matter?

Accepted Answer

Women have historically been underrepresented or excluded from clinical trials. Studies conducted primarily on male participants may not generalise to women, leading to misdiagnosis, suboptimal dosing, and treatment gaps. FemHealth makes this bias visible before you open a paper.

Question 4

Can students use FemHealth for literature reviews?

Accepted Answer

Yes. FemHealth helps students quickly identify whether studies included representative samples of women, flag gender gaps in the evidence for a topic, and build a more critical literature review without manually reading every methods section.
