Ep.58 The Adaptable Entrepreneur

Asking for a Friend - Health, Fitness & Personal Growth Tips for Women in Midlife

The goal of the podcast is multi-faceted. I want to share health and wellness information with our listeners but also provide a platform for women entrepreneurs to speak about their journey and the great things that they are doing. I love it when I get to interview a female founder who is working in the femcare space and providing innovative solutions to help moms and all women make well-informed and timely decisions when it comes to their health and that of their families. Bonus!
Enter Checkable, Patty Post's ingenious idea to combine at-home testing with online, real medical solutions. Women make 80% of the healthcare decisions for their families, and with comes the burden of time spent and stress when we are already spread very thin. Is is strep or just a regular old sore throat? Are my girly bits itchy because I used a different body wash, or do I have a full-on yeast infection? Checkable not only gives you reliable results but also provides access to medical professionals and treatment options that are quick and effective. Way to go, Patty!
In this episode Patty Post and I discuss:
- Patty's personal experiences as the driver to develop the Checkable technology
- The challenges of securing funding for women-focused innovation
- Getting creative, scrappy, and resourceful to make her idea a reality
- The future of at-home testing and online medicine
- What is on the horizon for Checkable and Patty Post
Checkable's at-home testing options:
Breastmilk nutrient and alcohol testing
Strep test
Vaginal pH
Urinary tract infection
