MenoPatch

Ameek Bindra is a fourth-year medical student at Carle Illinois College of Medicine applying into an obstetrics and gynecology residency, and the CEO and co-founder of MenoPatch. Her clinical training convinced her that women deserve better tools for menopause than medicine currently offers, so she set out to build one: a once-weekly, provider-adjustable patch delivering three hormones in a single system. She leads MenoPatch as a physician-founder, bringing the perspective of someone who will one day prescribe what she builds.

Hi, I'm Allison. A second-year medical student at Carle Illinois College of Medicine, formerly an engineer at GE HealthCare. Five years of building medical devices taught me how they work; watching patients fall through their gaps taught me why that's not enough. That gap is what we're here to close.
