Episode Overview
In this episode of Token for Your Thoughts, host Lindsey McConaghy speaks with Veronica Kirin, anthropologist, author, and founder of Asterisk Women's Health, about rewriting the rules of women’s health and what it means to build a data-first DAO that gives women ownership and a voice.
They cover how Asterisk is:
• Building the first female-specific data lake
• Giving women the power to vote on what health research gets funded
• Tackling the non-reproductive health data gap (spoiler: it’s massive)
• Creating tools that make it easier for clinicians to access real-world data
