Some pathologies affect women much more than men, as is the case with some cancers (e.g. breast cancer), autoimmune diseases (e.g. Hashimoto's thyroiditis) or mental disorders such as depression.
18 cases of Hashimoto's thyroiditis are observed in women, for 1 in men.

The differences between men and women in terms of pathologies are threefold: ▶️ From a biological angle, the presence of two X chromosomes in women creates a higher prevalence of autoimmune diseases; ▶️ Fluctuations linked to hormonal cycles have a strong impact on the severity of certain pathologies (e.g. migraines, cardiovascular disorders); ▶️ Social and medical biases directly linked to the inadequate training of healthcare professionals in these subjects.

In people under 50, women die twice as often as men after a myocardial infarction, due to atypical symptoms and delayed diagnosis. For a women, symptoms are: ▶️ Classic symptoms ▶️ Atypical symptoms: abnormal anxiety, feeling of exhaustion, shortness of breath, transient discomfort in the jaw, chest or arm, sweating, vomiting, etc. ⏩ 70-80% of autoimmune diseases concerns women, with an average delay in diagnosis of 5 years (3 years in men).

AI seems to be a promising tool for reducing existing biases in the management of women's diseases, thanks to faster detection. Breast cancer detected using AI is already established in the scientific sphere with promising results. ⏩ A cancer detected at an early stage has a 5-year survival rate of 99%, compared with 26% when detected at an advanced stage.
