Rare diseases can be incredibly challenging, not just for those who suffer from them but also for their caregivers.
A staggering 84% of women report feeling overwhelmed due to the pressures and complexities associated with rare diseases, whether they are battling the condition themselves or caring for a loved one.
This overwhelming burden calls for greater awareness, support systems, resources, and substantial scope for innovations R&D - to help these women navigate their journeys.
The Emotional and Physical Toll
Women dealing with rare diseases, either as patients or carers, often face unique emotional and physical challenges.
And the mostly silent list is long!
Turner Syndrome, Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) Syndrome, Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI), Vulvodynia, Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome Type 1 (APS-1), Hereditary Angioedema (HAE), Hypothalamic Amenorrhea, Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS), Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).
The Isolation
The rarity of the condition often means there are fewer support networks and resources available.
#Emotional Stress Constant worry about the health and well-being of themselves or their loved ones can lead to significant stress and anxiety.
#Physical Exhaustion Managing a rare disease requires substantial time and energy, leading to physical burnout.
#Financial Strain The costs associated with treatment, medications, and time off work can add to the financial burden.

Building a strong support network is crucial for managing the overwhelm associated with rare diseases.
Support networks will significantly benefit from enhanced and customized AI conversational interactions. AiCogniTech.com specializes in Health and Wellness sectors - in the realm of #AI-Chat-Bots and Automation.
